In short: Yes, I filed the 990-N for 2009 [1]

Earlier in the year, I noticed the 990-N E-postcard requirement.
Basically, the 990-N or equivalent needs to be filed every year before
May 15th. If for some reason we fail to file it for 3 consecutive
years, game over ; we lose our 501(c)(3) status.

As long as we raise less than $25,000/year, that 990-N form can be
submitted online. If we raise more than that,(which i hope happens
sooner than later) a different and more complicated form needs to be
filed.

Thanks for checking though!
