THESE ARE THE MAJOR PURPOSES OF THE ORGANIZATION. IT IS ONLY LOGICAL THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE EXPENSES THAT WERE PAID WERE FOR THESE ACTIVITIES. 60297 SEVERAL YEAS AGO, WE STARTED PURCHASING BENCHES TO BE PLACED ALONG THE WALKWAYS THROUGHOUT THE GARDENS. LAST YEAR, WE WERE ASKED IF INDIVIDUALS WOULD BE PERMITTED TO PURCHASE THEM IN HONOR OR MEMORY OF LOVED ONES OR FRIENDS. THIS SEEMED LIKE A GOOD FUNDRAISING ACTIVITY. SEVERAL BENCHES HAD BEEN PLACED ON PADS, THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THE SIDEWALKS. ALL WE NEEDED WERE THE PLAQUES IDENTIFYING THE INDIVIDUAL(S) BEING RECOGINIZED WITH THE BENCH. NEXT YEAR, 2026 A NEW LINE ITEM HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED SO THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO TRACK THE PURCHASING OF THE BENCHES BY INDIVIDUALS (LISTED UNDER ACCOUNT NUMBER 154A). THE PURCHASING OF THE ADDITIONAL BENCHES AND PLAQUES WILL GO AGAINST ACCOUNT NUMBER 254A. DURING 2025, ACCOUNT NUMBER 254 WAS USED. THERE WAS 900 SPENT FOR PLAQUES. WE RECEIVED 1900 FOR THE BENCHES SOLD. 900 WE HAD INTENDED TO ADD MORE SIDEWALK DURING THIS YEAR BECAUSE WE RECEIVED DONATIONS THAT WOULD COVER THE MAJORITY OF THE COST. AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CEMENT CONTRACTOR AND MGV. HE OFFERED TO DONATE A SECTION OF THE WALKWAYS WHICH WOULD HAVE COMPLETED THE SIDEWALK WE WANTED. UNFORTUNATELY, HIS SCHEDULE AND THE WEATHER PREVENTED THIS FROM HAPPENING. NEXT YEAR, WE WILL HAVE THE WALKWAYS. ANOTHER ACTIVITY WE HAVE STARTED WAS MUSIC IN THE GARDENS. THIS WAS AN OUTREACH INTO THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE FREE MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT. A FREEWILL DONATION WAS COLLECTED DURING EACH PERFORMANCE. THE MONTHS OF JUNE THROUGH AUGUST WERE TIMES THESE PROGRAMS WERE HELD. THE COST OF THE PROGRAM WAS 1228 MOST OF WHICH WAS COLLECTED BUT IT WAS NOT A FUNDRAISER. IT WAS A WAY OF GIVING BACK TO SPRINGFIELD FOR THEIR SUPPORT. THE PAYMENT CAME FROM ACCOUNT 203B AND THE DONATIONS WERE PLACED IN ACCOUNT 103. 1225 62422 LINDA ASEBROOK SECRETARY 5.00 0 GEORGE B SIMON II TREASURER 5.00 0 TERESA MAGILL ASSISTANT TR 5.00 0 KAREN PARSON MEMBER AT LA 5.00 0 CHRISTI LOCKHART PAST PRESIDE 5.00 0 JILL PFISTER PRESIDENT 000.00 0 GARY WATSON PRESIDENT EL 5.00 0 KATHY MARK MEMBER AT LA 5.00 0 false false false false false false false false false GEORGE B SIMON II 3130 EAST MAIN ST SPRINGFIELD OH 45505 9373987600 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 62182 62179 25695 20599 37089 207744 62182 62179 25695 20599 37089 207744 207744 540 77 15 136 22 790 7434 7042 2837 17313 225847 188071 0.91980 0.84600 X PART II, LINE 10 NET FUNDRAISING INCOME 17,313 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED FORM 990-EZ, PART I, LINE 16 EXPENSES ADMINISTRATION 2,490 RECOGNITION 2,404 EDUCATION 1,408 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS 1,225 FIELD TRIALS 51 GREENHOUSE 98 PERENNIAL GARDENS 1,658 S.F.
