Club News


One of our long time members and friends, George, passed away on Dec. 7, 2006. He was one of the original group of friends that started this club along with me back in 1996, and even though he lived over an hour drive away, he (and his partner) were able to attend most all the dinners and events that we held. We'll miss him and his friendship very much! His obituary may be found here.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


Q: Why doesn't the club have a budget (bank account, treasurer, etc.)?

A: If the club ever grows to the point where we need to be come an official 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we'll institute a budget, elect a treasurer, and so on at that time. Until then, all activities will be a result of individual member donations of non-monetary gifts such as time, food, or other personal resources. Monetary donations will not be accepted.

Q: Do you have to consider yourself a "Bear" to be part of the group?

A: You do not have to consider yourself a Bear to be part of the group. In fact, there isn't even a consensus in the Bear Community regarding what a Bear is. Our only membership requirement is that you comply with the club rules.

Q: Why doesn't the group have more activities?

A: We can do more, but we need people to help us plan, organize, and host activities. If you have ideas, let us know.
