I think it is an awesome endeavor to pursuit non-profit status.

I think it is an awesome endeavor to pursuit non-profit status. The
benefits sound very positive and a definite supportive aid for members
interested in writing and publishing their genealogies and to provide funds
for those traveling to conferences, etc.

Nuestros Ranchos has always been more than a forum for me. It has been more
of a club and taking it to the next level, by obtaining non-profit status,
develops a base for its financial support, so that it may operate more
effectively and achieve goals.

I have gained much by being a member of Nuestros Ranchos and I would be
very, very happy to either act as a representative for California or as a
board member.
