'Diaper Dans' Show Their 'Disney Side' On Main Street U.S.A.
 The good folks at the DisneyParks blog are nearly as fond as we are of barbershop's most famous ambassadors. They recently asked the critical origins question:
No matter what age, everyone seems to have a "Disney Side." That concept led us to a question: how early in their lives did the famed Dapper Dans begin honing their skills as a barbershop quartet? For years, The Dapper Dans have been favorites among Disney Parks guests for their blend of harmonies and hijinks. Whether they're in the Harmony Barber Shop or riding aboard the Main Street Trolley, the Dapper Dans provide a soundtrack like no other on Main Street U.S.A. In honor of the famed foursome, we asked them to lend a hand in helping to train a troupe of newcomers. Today, we are pleased to present the world premiere of ... The Diaper Dans.

Chapter financial reviews and IRS Form 990s due May 15 All U.S. chapters, chapters, districts and subsidiaries (Harmony Brigades, etc.) must report to the IRS by May 15th each year. The IRS is now requiring ALL non-profits, regardless of size, to file an annual return. Failure to file a timely report can result in either financial penalties for each day a return is late or loss of non-profit status or both. All chapters, both US and Canadian, must complete a financial review for 2013 by May 15. This is not difficult, is not an audit and merely requires a financially savvy person, other than the treasurer, to inspect your books.
