During the active growing season, this entails using organizational volunteers to mow the grassy areas, remove weed growth, and trim the overgrowth near fences and wood lines. The property serves as an ecological sanctuary inside a growing suburban community that supports a variety of wildlife including bear, deer, beaver, otter, fish, waterfowl, hawks, eagles, and reptiles such as turtles and snakes. Maintenance of the property requires the purchase of equipment like mowers, trimmers, and chainsaws accompanied by fuel, battery, and repair costs. The property hosts a variety of civic activities including active support for scouts (boy, girl, cub, etc.) and 4_H youth. Training is provided in archery and shooting sports. 2184 3000 2728 Maintain an Apiary - The chapter maintains an apiary (honeybee colonies) to aid in the pollination of flowers and fruit trees in the local geographic area. The apiary consists of normally 10 hives which are used for the pollination of local flowering fruit trees and flowers in the local vicinity. The bees produce honey and beeswax products used for revenue through the purchase of the beeswax and donations towards the honey. Bees have been believed to be in general decline and this effort serves to provide a degree of necessary support for the production of food and produce in an assumed small measure. 3000 0 0 Pond and fishing - Maintain an aquatic reservoir of fresh water that serves as a fishery for angling and boating recreation. The chapter's 7-acre pond serves as a source of education and recreation for members and disabled veterans we host as part of the program known as Project Healing Waters. The pond supports kayaking and fishing from electric or human-powered boats. In Project Healing Waters, disabled military veterans are hosted with restorative activities involving artificial fly tying, fly rod assembly, and fishing for trout and other sport fish. The water in the retention pond is aerated and treated to support healthy aquatic life and the dam is maintained to avoid soil erosion in the downstream stream bed. fish are stocked to support fly fishing activity for disabled military veterans in the region. This year we refurbished an old pontoon boat to serve as a stable and large floating fishing platform that people with mobility issues can use to get out in the middle of the pond for a true fishing experience. 0 0 0 The remainder of the programmatic expenses are primarily the cost of some additional minor expenses in support of the organization's goals. 0 0 0 9984 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 VA X Herbert W Pritchett Sr 5402260015 PO Box 734 Fredericksburg VA 22404 James Branham director 10 0 X 0 0 0 Tammie Pasterak director 1.8 0 X 0 0 0 Latoynia Ransom-Harvey director 2 0 X 0 0 0 James Rector director 4 0 X 0 0 0 Darrell Schultz director 3 0 X 0 0 0 Larry Stanford membership director 14 0 X 0 0 0 Steve Kotowski past president 1 0 X 0 0 0 Herbert Pritchett Sr president 9.6 0 X 0 0 0 James Lloyd vice president 14 0 X 0 0 0 Ralph Kinch treasurer 15 0 X 0 0 0 Barbara Pritchett secretary 3.7 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 47597 4724 0 0 10449 0 62770 Proceeds from apiary honey donations 112990 2728 2728 0 0 0 0 0 0 2728 1544 0 0 1544 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4724 0 0 0 0 0 67042 2728 0 1544 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 125 0 125 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7327 0 7327 0 0 0 0 0 1432 0 1432 0 3535 0 3535 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12542 0 12542 0 Pond nd conservation pursuits 5743 5743 0 0 Grounds maintenance 2077 2077 0 0 Building maintenance 1156 1156 0 0 Range maintenance 1008 1008 0 0 16431 0 16431 0 51376 9984 41392 0 42061 31653 58689 84921 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 887313 0 887313 887313 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 988063 1003887 0 158 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 158 X 988063 1003729 0 0 988063 1003729 988063 1003887 15666 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 49812 44982 53494 48636 58075 254999 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 49812 44982 53494 48636 58075 254999 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 254999 812 855 490 11 1544 3712 0 0 0 0 0 0 812 855 490 11 1544 3712 0 0 0 0 0 0 829 120 6515 7541 8967 23972 51453 45957 60499 56188 68586 282683 0.90207 0.92153 0.01313 0.01105 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 1 This total includes the membership dues ($29657), the sum of other membership fees for range maintenance,late payment and service hour fines ($17940), and donations ($3721.58) from members, a monthly 50/50 raffle, and food.

The value is reported as the value ascribed by the county real estate assessment record issued in 2024. Schedule D, Part VI, Line 1b The history of buildings occupying the preperty is scant. No records can be located that provide an original value for the buildings. The original structure used as a meeting house burned down in an arson fire many years ago. A new structure was built in the 1950s that continues to server as a meeting location. In the ensuing years outbuildings have been erected (and razed) to make way for more modern construction.. There are some records that document the cost of these buildings and structures.Depreciation has neither been tracked nor recorded on any of these buildings. We use the county tax assessment annually provided and available as each year's basis of value of the buildings. Schedule D, Part VI, Line 1d Over the past several decades the chapter has received the donation of many hand tools and lawn care equipment such as riding lawnmowers. Additionally, professional grade zero turn mowers have supplanted the inadequate donated equipment and several professional grade string trimmers have been purchased and replaced over the past decade. It is estimated that as much as $30 K of equipment has been purchased in the past decade. The equipment is well maintained and its value is estimated as remaining high. If sold the equipment might attract $25 K at an auction. Depreciation has not normally been tracked or recorded on any of the equipment, but we have taken a 2.5% reduction in value as an estimate of annual depreciation with no real basis.
