      <ExplanationTxt>The organization respectfully requests reasonable cause consideration for the late filing of this return. The current Treasurer is newly serving in this role and this was the first Form 990-EZ filing handled independently. The late filing was not intentional and was not due to disregard of the organizations reporting obligations. Once the missed deadline was discovered, the organization promptly prepared the return, and submitted it as soon as practicable. The organization has also implemented corrective procedures to help ensure timely filing in future years, including setting recurring advance reminders, and ensuring that the Treasurer and at least one additional board officer review filing deadlines as part of the annual transition and financial close process. The organization takes its federal filing obligations seriously and respectfully requests that penalties, if any, be waived based on reasonable cause.</ExplanationTxt>
