      <ExplanationTxt>To whom it may concern, Not filing for the 6 month extension prior to January 15th, 2026 was an oversight on my part. September to April is my busiest travel season as I am out in the field conducting research and guiding our program services. Due to the total loss of my condo in Lahaina due to the Lahaina fire, I had to change many things financially last year as that condo was my largest asset and also a main revenue source. I had to start taking social security earlier than I had planned and I had to sell my main residence in Florida as well as I could no longer afford it. The accounting firm we had used over all previous years had informed us it was going to be over $3,000 for them to prepare our 990 last year so our treasurer and I completed and filed that 990. Since our accounting firm had always filed our past extensions, I accidentally failed to file an extension for this year prior to January 15th, 2026. This was an honest mistake on my part and once we became aware of it earlier this month, we filed this return as quickly as we were able to. I have now put an annual recurring calendar alert on my calendar to ensure this does not happen again in the future. Since this is the first time anything like this has happened in our 30 year history, we humbly ask that we are given an exception to any penalties for our late filing. Thank you for your time and consideration of this request. Jeff Pantukhoff - President</ExplanationTxt>
