COMMUNITY PRGRAMMING: Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, the Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas bringing the news the Civil War had ended and the enslaved were now free. This was two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. In celebration of this important day, residents of DeKalb County will be gathering at Hopkins Park for fun, fellowship, and food. The festivities will take place Sunday, June 18, 2023, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. The event will include local vendors, social services, music, food trucks, activities and much more. While this significant milestone is typically noted by African-Americans; this gathering will be welcoming and inviting to everyone.$1,000$1,328

ExplanationI am writing to offer my sincere apologies for our failure to meet the deadline for filing Project HOPE's Form 990EZ. I take full responsibility for this oversight and wish to provide you with a transparent explanation. Unfortunately, the missed deadline was a result of incompetence within our administrative processes. Despite our best efforts, we encountered unexpected challenges in organizing and compiling the necessary information within the required timeframe. As a dedicated organization committed to our mission, we deeply regret this lapse and understand the importance of timely compliance with reporting requirements. We recognize the potential implications of this delay and are taking immediate steps to address the situation and prevent similar occurrences in the future. To rectify this issue, we have initiated a thorough review of our internal procedures and are implementing enhanced measures to ensure greater efficiency and accountability in our financial reporting processes. Additionally, we are providing additional training and resources to relevant staff members to strengthen our capabilities in meeting compliance deadlines. We understand the significance of fulfilling our obligations and maintaining the trust of our stakeholders, and we are fully committed to upholding the highest standards of transparency and accountability moving forward. Once again, please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work diligently to resolve this matter. Thank you for your attention to this issue. Should you require any further information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Sincerely, Latisha Newman TreasurerExplanationTxt
