Dedicated to Providing Bluegrass Church at Festivals

March, 2010 __________ Final Newsletter

From the President

I am very sorry to report that we are closing the Christian Bluegrass Association. At my request a vote was taken by the board of directors, and it was decided to close the corporation.

There were a number of reasons for taking this action. We felt that we were causing a problem by dividing the bluegrass community. Also the membership went down drastically. People seemed to see us as a giant religious group that wanted to come in and take over. Our simple goal has always been just to provide a bluegrass church service.

All of our officers were very dedicated and would have stayed with it, but it looked like not very many people cared about this ministry, and we were causing a problem.

We will keep our commitment to the festivals that we are scheduled for this year. The Sunday services will be done on an individual basis and not as the Christian Bluegrass Association.

We will probably complete the dissolving of the corporation in April. The web site will be open for probably the rest of 2010. The email links will be good for the rest of the year also, so feel free to send us a message.

Thank you to all that have supported this ministry. We will be closing down according to California Tax Exempt Organization Regulations.
