Poets and musicians in the schools and senior care facilities and Parade on Saturday of the week of the Gathering. The Gathering board and professional volunteers hold an annual contest in the schools for students to submit art and poetry work. Winners of those contests perform at the Gathering each fall with adult performers The Durango Cowboy Poetry Gathering had a very successful year in 2023. We were able to re-engage 18 schools in our near by District to teach poetry and art too their students. Over 5,200 students participated in our educational programs throughout the year, and 10 schools participated in our poetry and art contests providing education on the historical west and our western heritage. We held poetry and art contests in the schools and utilized HS students to help judge the contests. In the fall, performers held assemblies at the 18 schools and taught harmonica classes to over 300 5th grade students. Our evening and paid events were very successful as was the Parade and outreach programs to the community. Our two fundraisers were successful as well. 1950 0 0 Linda Simmons Board Member 7 0 0 0 Barry Longwell V President 2 0 0 0 Sherry Colquitt Secretary 1 0 0 0 Carol Bruno Winter Sect 1 0 0 Sue McWilliams President 28 0 0 0 Lisa Watters Board Member 2 0 0 0 Pam Jacob Fundraiser Coord 5 0 0 0 Karren Little Board Member/School Coordinator 4 0 0 0 Kathy Scherer Board Member 3 0 0 0 Jack Turner Special Event Coordinator 10 0 0 0 Mike Mullins Board Member 3 0 0 0 Marcos Costa Board Member and Social Media 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CO Sue McWilliams P O Box 2571 Durango CO 81302 9707495663 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 41416 19050 52028 73026 76995 262515 40346 128 28888 43884 39639 152885 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 81762 19178 80916 116910 116634 415400 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 415400 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 81762 19178 80916 116910 116634 415400 1 1 0 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Performer Payments;32526|Insurance;2625|Webiste & Graphic Design;5686|Sound System;3000|Parade Expense;3178|Bank & Credit Card Fees;2193|Advertising;5146|Sales Tax;223|Youth Poet/Art Contests;1297|Chuckwagon Expense;1283|License and Permit Fees;151|Misc and Office Expense;5089|Parade Exenses;3178^Total;65575^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 This amount is from Accounts Receivables that have been booked, but not yet received Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Hand Bags, Caps, and cups
