The loss of IRS tax-exemptions can create tax problems for the organization and its contributors. For example, donors to a NPO would no longer be able to itemize deductions for their contributions. In addition, the NPO would be subject to federal corporate income taxes, penalties and interest. Retroactively reinstating NPO status can be a confusing process.

’ve written about this previously but with all the new arrivals to Harmony I thought it fitting to touch on it again. Also, I’ve had a few ot-for-profit organizations (NPOs) are not always recognized conversations and noticed some social media exchanges recently by the IRS as tax exempt and eligible to receive tax deductible which contributions. indicated that Ifsome folks might not have a grasp on what all you are an officer of an NPO, or a financial the Harmony organizations you hear about and might have to contributor to one, you might are wantthat to check the organization’s tax exempt interact with. It is interesting to note that though Harmony encompasses status at the IRS website: https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/. 11,000 acres, the Harmony you know and live in is limited to the justunder 1,000 acres known by as Harmony Main.

CDD fees are assessed on every property within Harmony but it is noteworthy that different neighborhoods receive different levels of service mainly due to differences in their design and/or deed restrictions. The Harmony Residential Owners Association (HROA) has EVERYTHING to do with how your home and property looks and employs local management provided by First Services Residential (FSR). The HROA has various committees (staffed by resident volunteers) such as the Member Advisory, Covenants, Design, Activities, Garden and a few others to assist the Board with resident needs and desires. And yes, FSR is the entity which sends you those pesky violation letters. It is interesting to note that for every complaint I hear about over-zealous enforcement, I hear about 4 or 5 other folks complain that enforcement is not strict enough…The HROA covers all the single and multi-family homes in Harmony except those homes in the 55+ community known as The Lakes which has its own HOA
known as The Lakes. Common reasons NPOs lose their tax exempt status include: (1) failing Because The Lakes Community is 55+, it has many unique needs not to File Form 990 for 3 consecutive years, (2) earning too much income the least of which is a clubhouse/pool complex which is very expensive from unrelated activities, (3) participating in political campaigning, and (4) to build and maintain.

HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS By Timothy Quinlan, LCAM
T
ropical Storms and Hurricane season begins June 1st and ends November 30th . Having the supplies necessary for the preparation pre/post-storm is very important. If you wait until hurricane warnings to stock up, you might find it difficult to find all the supplies. Water and batteries go quick.
Create Family Disaster Plan
□ Emergency Evacuation Destination and route. □ Pet Evacuation Destination and route if they can not go to the same shelter with you. □ If not evacuating, pick a safe room in your home. An interior room without windows, such as a bathroom, pantry, laundry room or closet. □ Choosing an out of state relative or friend to contact if the family should get separated. □ Know where the main water turns off is located (outside) and where the electrical box main power switch is located (inside the home— usually in the garage). □ Be sure that important papers are in water proof plastic bags or containers. □ Prepare an Emergency List and place copies where needed. □ Other Planning Notes
Food
Keep enough food on hand for at least two weeks throughout the hurricane season. Replace stored goods every six months. Here are some foods you can purchase before hurricane season. □ Canned and jarred meats and fish, such as tuna, chicken or ham (manual can opener needed) □ Canned fruits (get the ones packed in juice, not in syrup) □ Canned vegetables □ Canned soups, stews and chilies □ Powdered and/or evaporated milk, non dairy milk products □ Instant coffee, tea and cocoa □ Unsalted nuts □ Peanut butter, Jelly, and/or honey □ Powdered drink mixes □ Fruit juices, vegetable juices, diet soft drinks □ Bouillon cubes □ Non-perishable pudding and gelatin
Water
□
One gallon per person per day (include pets) for drinking and sanitation-2 week supply per person (and pets). □ If using used containers as 2 liter bottles, be sure they are cleaned thoroughly. Milk containers and gallon size freezer bags are great to fill and freeze and use in coolers.
Other Items
□ □ □
Hurricane Shutters/Plywood Generator Household regular not scented bleach to purify water; or water purification tablets and clean up supplies □ Tools, hammer and nails; ax or hatchet; crowbar; screwdrivers; pliers; cordless drill, bolts for shutters; a knife; utility knife; handsaw □ Duct tape and masking tape 8
May 2017 | Harmony Life Magazine
□
Flashlight/camping lanterns (battery operated) for each family member □ Battery operated Radio/TV/Alarm Clock □ Fire Extinguisher(s) □ Waterproof or Kitchen Matches (place in plastic bags to keep dry □ Extension Cords (outside) □ Rope or heavy cord, approximately 100 feet □ Work Gloves/Safety Goggles □ Sponges/Towels □ First aid kit with manual and insect repellent □ Plastic Sheeting / Plastic Bags □ Medications (Family/Pets) - one month supply □ Important Papers in waterproof bags/containers □ Cash □ Fuel Vehicles □ Grill—propane □ Tarps, canvas or 6-mil plastic sheeting. Good for making temporary roof repairs or tents □ Coolers □ Paper plates/cups/plastic utensils □ Whistles or air horn □ Hurricane Information Booklets found in most stores (Lowes, Home Depot, - free)
Pets
□ □
Arrange for temporary housing if not able to be with the family Collars w/up to date identification. Attach phone number of temporary housing, leash □ Current photos/important papers □ Do not leave your pet home alone. Leaving home with food & water does not mean they will be safe. □ Medical records & Medications—water proof bags □ Food, water, bowls, cat litter box □ Can opener □ Information Sheet: feeding time medication schedule, behavior problems, vets name & telephone □ Pet Bed and Toys □ Vaccinations up to date □ Animal Carrier

Disaster Preparedness for Pets
• The key to survival during a disaster, crisis or emergency is to be as prepared as possible before the storm hits. • The Humane Society of the United States recommends the following actions: • Find a trusted neighbor and give them a key to your house. Make sure this person is comfortable and familiar with your pets. • Make sure the neighbor knows your pets’ whereabouts and habits, so they will not have to waste precious time trying to find or catch them. • Create a pet emergency/disaster kit and place it in a prominent place where your neighbor can find it. • If the emergency involves evacuation, make sure the neighbor would be willing to take your pets and has access to the appropriate carriers and leashes. Plan to meet at a prearranged location. • If you use a pet sitting service, they may be available to help, but discuss the possibility well in advance. Stock up on non-perishables well ahead of time, and have everything ready to go at a moment’s notice. Keep everything accessible, stored in sturdy containers (duffel bags, covered trash containers, etc.) that can be carried easily. If you reside in an area prone to certain seasonal disasters, such as flooding or hurricanes that might require evacuation, create a kit to keep in your car. In your pet disaster kit, you should include: • Food and water for at least five days for each pet, bowls and a manual can opener if you are packing canned pet food. • Medications and medical records stored in a waterproof container and a first aid kit. A pet first aid book is also good to include. • Cat litter box, litter, garbage bags to collect all pets’ waste, and litter scoop. • Sturdy leashes, harnesses, and carriers to transport pets safely and to ensure that your pets can’t escape. Carriers should be large enough for the animal to stand comfortably, turn around and lie down. Your pet may have to stay in the carrier for hours at a time while you are away from home. Be sure to have a secure cage with no loose objects inside it to accommodate smaller pets. These may require blankets or towels for bedding and warmth, and other special items. • Current photos and descriptions of your pets to help others identify them in case you and your pets become separated and to prove that they are yours. • Pet beds and toys, if you can easily take them, to reduce stress. • Information about your pets’ feeding schedules, medical conditions, behavior problems, and the name and number of your veterinarian in case you have to board your pets or place them in foster care. Other useful items include newspapers, paper towels, plastic trash bags, grooming items and household bleach. Find a Safe Place Ahead of Time -Because evacuation shelters generally don’t accept pets (except for service animals), you must plan ahead to make certain your family and pets will have a safe place to stay. Contact hotels and motels outside your immediate area to check policies on accepting pets. Ask about any restrictions on number, size and species. Inquire if the “no pet” policies would be waived in an emergency. Make a list of animal-friendly places and keep it handy. Call ahead for a reservation as soon as you think you might have to leave your home. • Check with friends, relatives or others outside your immediate area. Ask if they would be able to shelter you and your animals or just your animals, if necessary. If you have more than one pet, you may need to
house them at separate locations. • Make a list of boarding facilities and veterinary offices that might be able to shelter animals in emergencies; include 24-hour telephone numbers. • Ask your local animal shelter if it provides foster care or shelter for pets in an emergency. This should be your last resort, as shelters have limited resources and are likely to be stretched to their limits during an emergency. The key to survival during a disaster, crisis or emergency is to be as prepared as possible before the storm hits. Take the time to make a plan and assemble an emergency kit for you and your pet. By taking these steps now, you will greatly increase your pet’s chances of survival. Other useful items include newspapers, paper towels, plastic trash bags, grooming items and household bleach. In Case You Are Not Home - An evacuation order may come, or a disaster may strike, when you’re at work or out of the house. • Make arrangements well in advance for a trusted neighbor to take your pets and meet you at a specified location. Be sure the person is comfortable with your pets and your pets are familiar with him/her, knows where your animals are likely to be, knows where your disaster supplies are kept and has a key to your home. If you use a pet-sitting service, it may be able to help, but discuss the possibility well in advance. Don’t Forget ID Your pet should be wearing up-to-date identification at all times. This includes adding your current cell phone number to your pet’s tag. It may also be a good idea to include the phone number of a friend or relative outside your immediate area—if your pet is lost, you’ll want to provide a number on the tag that will be answered even if you’re out of your home. When You Evacuate, Take Your Pets with You The single most important thing you can do to protect your pets is to take them with you when you evacuate. Animals left behind in a disaster can easily be injured, lost or killed. Animals left inside your home can escape through storm-damaged areas, such as broken windows. Animals turned loose to fend for themselves are likely to become victims of exposure, starvation, predators, contaminated food or water, or accidents. Leaving dogs tied or chained outside in a disaster is a death sentence. If You Don’t Evacuate, Shelter in Place If your family and pets must wait out a storm or other disaster at home, identify a safe area of your home where you can all stay together. Be sure to close your windows and doors, stay inside, and follow the instructions from your local emergency management office. • Bring your pets indoors as soon as local authorities say there is an imminent problem. Keep pets under your direct control. Keep dogs on leashes and cats in carriers, and make sure they are wearing identification. • If you have a room you can designate as a “safe room,” put your emergency supplies in that room in advance, including your pet’s crate and supplies. Have any medications and a supply of pet food and water inside watertight containers, along with your other emergency supplies. If there is an open fireplace, vent, pet door, or similar opening in the house, close it off with plastic sheeting and strong tape. Planning and preparation will help you survive the disaster, but your home may be a very different place afterward, whether you have taken shelter at home or elsewhere.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT: LACH ORTHODONTIC SPECIALISTS
D
r. Lach is Central Florida’s Expert Specialist and Clear Choice for Invisalign® …Named Top 1% of Doctors Nationwide bringing you Invisalign to a whole new level. Lach Orthodontic Specialists has been an icon of innovation and exemplary service for more than two decades. Led by Dr. Lach, the expanding East Orlando private practice, now with another location in Lake Nona’s medical city as Lake Nona Orthodontic Specialists, is elevating dentistry with its unparalleled expert Invisalign specialty service. “With our level of experience and training we have attained over the years, there is now no such thing as a case too difficult, as we can now handle all types, ranging from the most simple teen and adult Invisalign cases, all the way to the most complex cases that were told by others they are not candidates.” In fact, Dr. Lach is now in the Top 1% of all Invisalign doctors nationwide with the highest level of experience and expertise using Invisalign. Says Dr. Lach, “In our practice, we treat cases just about the same way with braces or Invisalign, and we let our patients choose the way that they are treated. We made cost the same for both Invisalign and braces so that does not influence decisions, so now our patients are now able to freely choose the best treatment for their lifestyle which is wonderful.” Dr. Lach has successfully transformed nearly 20,000 beautiful smiles over the last 25 years and draws from this wealth of knowledge and direct patient experience to serve his patients with the best treatment options available. “I visited lots of doctors in our area before choosing Dr. Lach, and everyone else said that my case could not be treated with Invisalign and that I was not a candidate,” says Nicole M. who was planning for her wedding day pictures.

Even though Invisalign and other clear aligner products are advertised and readily available to the public through many doctors offices and other sources, Dr. Lach cautions that results and experiences can vary and are usually highly dependent on experience and training. “Most people do not know that it only takes a one-day certification course and a dental license to provide Invisalign, but it usually takes years of training and experience to deliver amazing smiles. “Our office team works with a specialized Invisalign consultant for advanced training on a regular basis to keep us up to date. I believe that this is the only way to consistently deliver the best possible Invisalign results and experiences as the technology continues to make advances and develop at such a rapid pace.”
Before
For Instance, Dr. Lach’s office has the first and only Invisalign-specific digital scanner in Central Florida, which provides precision 3D blueprints to create its invisible aligners for perfect fit, in contrast to old, outdated and uncomfortable ‘impressions’ which were used in the past. Aligners now fit better and provide more predictable and accurate tooth movements, leading to better results. What follows is a simulation video that allows for any adjustments to be made before the tray is designed. In terms of comfort, Invisalign is actually less restrictive in the type of foods that can be eaten and can improve gum health.
“Our Invisalign patients, which now represent nearly 50% of all of our cases, report to us very high satisfaction levels and a very comfortable overall experience with less side effects and amazing results,” says Lach. Of course, there are cases where compliance is an issue—oftentimes with young children who may not be diligent in their care—in which case Dr. Lach offers traditional braces at no additional cost. Due to the advanced experience level with Invisalign at Lake Nona Orthodontic Specialists, patients like Megan C. tend to have a more positive experience with more benefits. Dr. Lach also works with Propel which allows Invisalign to work more efficiently and helps teeth respond better resulting up to 50% faster results. “Dr. Lach’s magical braces created my new smile in almost half the time…that’s amazing!” says Megan. So positive, in fact, that some candidates fly
After
in from as far away as the Bahamas to receive Invisalign from Lach Orthodontic Specialists. “They understand what the experience means for them and they’re willing to travel,” says Lach. He continues, “Get ready for an Invisalign treatment experience and results at a whole new level, not available anywhere else here in Central Florida.” n

“As it turns out, not only was my case easily and comfortably treated with Invisalign by Dr. Lach, it was done on time as he said it would for my wedding day, and my smile looked amazing! My insurance even picked up half the cost, making it very affordable.”
