Incorporated!

Yes! After 15 years of development and vision, the community of Joy Lane took the huge leap forward to incorporating as a non-profit Corporation in the state of Maryland. With the New Year we plan on continuing to move forward with federal status and official tax exemption. While the step itself was rather small, the significance is huge. Now our programs such as OASIS can receive full funding from supportive businesses and individual donors in order to spread the healing and support of cancer patients.


Next coming steps are the first Board of Directors meeting on January 4th and the official approval of our Bylaws and many other governing policies. We’ll keep you informed on these important developments and what they mean for the greater Southern Maryland community.


In peace,

Marin
