      <ExplanationTxt>We sincerely apologize for the delay in filing our Form 990. Due to unforeseen circumstances during the COVID-19 shutdown, including the closure of our lodge and illness among our members, we encountered difficulties maintaining accurate and timely records. Following the reopening, the additional restrictions and new filing requirements unfortunately led to an unintended lapse in our bookkeeping practices. Upon recognizing the missed filing, we took immediate steps to rectify the situation. We sought professional assistance to update and correct our financial records. We are now filing the delinquent Form 990s and have implemented a proactive plan to ensure this does not occur again. This plan includes keeping our records up-to-date, reconciling our accounts monthly, designated personnel for record-keeping, automated reminders, and professionally services where needed. We humbly request abatement of any interest and fees associated with the late filing of this 990.</ExplanationTxt>
