NDPCS Annual Convention 2012

 The NORTH DAKOTA POTTERY COLLECTORS SOCIETY will be holding its 23rd annual convention at the
Doublewood Motel,
3333 - 13 Ave S,  Fargo ND. 
Phone # 701-235-3333

We have reserved rooms for those of you that are staying and the cost this year is at $75.00 per room. The Doublewood has informed us that other than your room, all other services provided are in the nature of cash. The motel has assured me that all the rooms have been recently updated. Please make your reservations early.  All of activities will be under one roof.  So we hope you will enjoy your stay.

2012 NDPCS Convention

With your convenience in mind, we have tried to simplify the registration form for you, so please look closely.  A lot of information is crammed into a one page form.  If you have any questions, PLEASE feel free to contact Rose or myself.

We have made several major changes this year.  The " Show and Sale ", previously held on Sunday afternoon will be held on Friday evening, immediately after the road show presentation.  We have also eliminated the "Pottery Contest" and have added a "Silent Auction" which will be held just before the Banquet on Saturday evening.  Information and the submittal form is explained elsewhere in this newsletter.  Also we are including a free breakfast on Sunday morning, before and during the business meeting consisting of coffee, juice, muffins or rolls.

The old sales tax issue has been modified again.. Tara has been doing a little work on this and now all you have to do, (if you don't presently have a tax #) is to fill out a onetime form at the sale. We hope this will make things simpler and less of a burden on those of you that now want to have a table.

A note on the auction, Mr. Harlan Deike from Wahpeton will be doing our auction this year.  He will be providing the services for the customary commission of 12% with 40% of that going to NDPCS and 60% to the auctioneer.

RoseAnn and I are always available on our cell phones to answer any questions.  You can reach Rose at 701-238-3896 and myself, at 701-238-1602 WE also would like to extend an invitation to attend an open house at Bonanzaville and our house on Friday between 1 and 4 PM.

WE will see you in Fargo June 8, 9, & 10, 2012.

Taxation for Sellers at the NDPCS Show and Sale             

by Tara Holt

We want to encourage our members to be both buyers and sellers at the NDPCS Convention Friday Evening Show and Sale. Please consider setting up a table for $10. Not only does this put more items into the hands of new collectors, but it gives you a chance to meet newer members.

Every year questions arise as to tax status, and the bullets below should help answer questions about whether or not you need to charge tax:

· Members who are in business and have an existing tax permit should utilize it, charge ND sales tax and remit the tax in December as required by law.

· Members who are not in business and selling items they own at this event are not required to pre-register with the Tax Department, but should charge tax for a one-time sale. A one- time remittance form will be available at the meeting and we will assist with filling it out if needed.

A member who regularly makes sales but does not have a permit is required to register with the Tax Department and charge sales tax.  Printable forms are available at the ND Tax Department’s website at www.nd.gov/tax/

Let’s make the Friday night sale fun and interesting! Please consider setting up a table with duplicates and other items you no longer want in your collection and offer them at good prices to our fellow members.  Growing the membership and the interest in ND Pottery only makes your investment that much better!!
