Forgot to Renew?
Do you still need to renew your affiliation? If you didn't renew in April of this year, your services have lapsed. But don't worry, it's easy to renew online and pay with card or check. Make sure you have your affiliation and insurance coverage in place for upcoming fall and winter events!
Do you receive 501(c)(3) federal nonprofit status through CDSS? Remember you must file your own 990 with the IRS every year, or risk automatic revocation of your status. CDSS does not file a group financial return. Additionally, you must send yearly financial reports to CDSS. Find blank forms and more information here. Have questions? Email ben at ben@cdss.org.

From the Mic with Luke Donforth
In this month's episode of From the Mic, host Mary Wesley is joined by longtime friend, collaborator, and fellow Vermont caller and choreographer Luke Donforth. They revisit memories and stories from the Burlington-area Mad Robin Callers Collective and dive into Luke's cross-country calling career. They also spend some time in Luke's dance-writing brain.
