The Organizations returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years respectively, after they are filed. false OTHER MISC EVENTS 38396 38396 TOAST TO THE COAST 24021 24021 15456 6229 62417 62417 15456 6229 21685 40732 LAURA KASA EMPLOYEE CASHFLOW X 25000 25000 false false false 25000 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process THE BOARD CHAIR AND TREASURER REVIEW THE RETURN PRIOR TO SUBMITTING.
