Important Notice about the Dissolution of GGRA
www.georgiagayrodeo.com
January 29, 2009
Dear everyone in the GGRA community,
This past weekend we had the General Membership Meeting of the Georgia Gay Rodeo Association (GGRA) in which we considered the organization's viability. After significant discussion, the membership voted to begin the process of disbanding GGRA. Since GGRA is a non-profit corporation subject to federal laws and the laws of Georgia, this process will take several months.
As part of the process, we will be liquidating all of GGRA's physical assets. Once all the different parts of the process are virtually complete, we will shut down mail service, the phones/voicemail system, the GGRA website, and we will close the GGRA Yahoo group. We will give you warning before we shut down the Yahoo group in case you want to get in touch with one another one last time. Also, if anyone wants to start any new gay rodeo fan Yahoo group for the Georgia region to succeed this one, you are welcome to do so.
Once GGRA is officially dissolved, the membership voted to donate whatever funds remain as follows: (1) one-third to PALS (Pets Are Loving Support); (2) one-third to Grady IDP Pediatrics Wing; and (3) one-third to IGRA Charities.
We regret that it has come to the point where we must disband GGRA. However, after struggling through several attempts to revive GGRA over the past few years and then not even being able to recruit a satisfactory number of Board members for 2009, the writing was simply on the wall for us. Luckily, everyone who loves gay rodeo still has other options.
Please keep supporting IGRA and its various regional groups! Everyone is encouraged to join one of our sister southeast IGRA organizations such as FGRA in Florida or SMRA in Tennessee. We also have heard that folks in Alabama are trying to launch a new IGRA group based there as well.
We will keep you informed about how the process is going.
Thanks,
Brad Bruner
President, GGRA
