🤩

Two keynote speakers and a combined legacy that spans war zones, presidential libraries, five continents, and years of women's history.

We don't do things small at GFWC.

Chief Warrant Officer 5 Phyllis J. Wilson rose to become the most senior Warrant Officer in the U.S. Army Reserve after 37 years of service, including multiple deployments to Iraq and intelligence work with Special Operations. Today she leads the Women in Military Service for America Memorial Foundation and serves on the Reserve Forces Policy Board.

Jacqueline Berger, known as "The First Ladies Lady," has spent her career uncovering what made America's most influential women great leaders. She's brought that expertise to the Smithsonian, five presidential libraries, C-SPAN, and the History Channel. Her latest book, Leadership Secrets of America's First Ladies, is the kind of thing you read and immediately want to discuss with every woman you know.

You won't want to miss these sessions!

Treasurers: Time to Prepare for Year-End Financial Reporting
As we approach the close of the club year, it is important for all treasurers within the San Gabriel Valley District of Women’s Clubs to begin preparing for year-end financial procedures. Careful attention now will ensure a smooth transition, accurate reporting, and continued compliance with state and federal nonprofit requirements.
Closing Income and Expense Accounts
Treasurers should begin reviewing all financial records, ensuring that income and expenses are fully recorded and categorized correctly. Reconcile bank statements, verify balances, and confirm that all outstanding checks and deposits are accounted for. This is also a good time to work with your club’s financial review or audit committee, if applicable.
Federal Filing Requirement: Form 990-N (e-Postcard)
Clubs with gross receipts normally $50,000 or less must file the IRS Form 990-N electronically. This filing is required annually to maintain tax-exempt status. Be sure to file on time—failure to file for three consecutive years will result in automatic revocation of your nonprofit status.
California State Filing: Form 199-N
Similarly, clubs with gross receipts of $50,000 or less must file the California Franchise Tax Board Form 199-N (e-Postcard). This filing confirms your organization’s continued eligibility for tax-exempt status at the state level.
Attorney General Reporting: CT-TR-1 and RRF-1
For clubs reporting less than $50,000 in gross annual revenue, the California Attorney General requires:
· CT-TR-1 (Nonprofit Treasurer’s Report)
· RRF-1 (Annual Registration Renewal Fee Report)
These forms are typically submitted together and are essential for maintaining your organization’s registration with the Registry of Charitable Trusts. Remember: Cash in your checking account, CD, money market and savings account are all assets.
For Clubs with Revenue Over $50,000
Clubs exceeding $50,000 in gross annual revenue have additional reporting
requirements:
· File IRS Form 990-EZ or full Form 990 instead of the 990-N.
· File California Form 199 (instead of 199-N).
· Submit the RRF-1 along with a copy of your IRS Form 990 or 990-EZ to the Attorney General.
· The CT-TR-1 may not be sufficient; more detailed financial reporting is required.
· In some cases, depending on revenue thresholds, clubs may also need to provide reviewed or audited financial statements prepared by an independent CPA.
Helpful Tips for Treasurers
· Start early to avoid last-minute stress.
· Keep digital and hard copies of all filings.
· Verify your club’s Employer Identification Number (EIN) and registration numbers.
· Coordinate with your club president and board to ensure accuracy and approval of reports.
By staying proactive and organized, treasurers play a vital role in preserving the integrity and good standing of our clubs. Thank you for your dedication and attention to these important responsibilities.
If you have questions, please reach out to your District Treasurer or State Finance Chairman for guidance. The SGVD Financial Team is here to support you!

Get Connected. Get Inspired. Get Involved.
We encourage you to invite your club chairs to join their corresponding District Teams! These teams are designed to connect leaders, spark fresh ideas, and build strong support networks across the District.
· Membership Club Chairs are encouraged to join the District Membership Team
· 1st Vice Presidents are invited to collaborate with the District 1st Vice President Team.
By participating, chairs gain the opportunity to learn from one another, collaborate on shared goals, hear from engaging speakers, and exchange creative ideas and successful projects. It’s a space where innovation thrives and support is always available.
This opportunity is open to all club chairpersons, and we strongly encourage participation. Being part of a District Team creates an incredible support system, strengthens leadership skills, and—most importantly—helps grow enthusiasm and participation across our clubs.
Together, we’re better. Let’s connect and make great things happen! ✨
