Pt VI, Line 15aLine 18 & 19: The Bridgewater Association files detailed financial and administrative reports with the State Association each year, including Form 990.

Any requests for financial information coming from non-members would be referred to the State Association for action. Membership in the Association is open to fire fighters from the five Companies located in Bridgewater who meet the initial physical and age requirements of Fire Department membership.

The State Association "field examiner" checks each report each year to insure all details are in compliance with its guidelines and that copies of bank statements or letters are included for verification of the reported balances.
