The cost for members is minimal: $2.00 for a lifetime membership and $7.00 for annual dues. Guests may attend without any charge. If the society has a tour to a place of historical interest, participants pay for their own admissions and meals. The society has an investment (originally $37,000) from a bequest by a deceased member. The earnings from this are available to fund historical projects and to help pay operating expenses not covered by dues. Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 The only expenses were speakers' fees and the fee for a tour guide. This was not the year to pay the Business Entity Filing Fee to Indiana. Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 The market value of the investments had a net gain of $168 in 2024.
