The bell has sounded and the gates have flung open as we start off our new club year. We have so many projects and activities happening. Our Social Team has some great events planned for September/October along with our participation in the Dallas Pride Parade. Our Historical Project is beginning to take flight as well. If you have any pictures, memorabilia or information on the Dallas Bears, our events, Texas Bear Round-Up, etc… we are collecting those items now. Contact Chip and he will be happy to receive those items. We have had great Membership meetings.

On July 18^th the Dallas Bears held their first meetings of the new Dallas Bears year. Our officers and appointees were all presented and ratified by the Membership. We had a few laughs hearing what flavor of donut you'd be and we had a lot of awesome business items to go over.

Dallas Bears! 

The new fiscal year has begun and I am confident that we have a Fantastic Year ahead of us. Let me congratulate our previous year's Board and all the Members for a wonderful year. It is truly amazing in this current economy that we as a membership could raise and give away $28,020 to three local and worthy charities.

In March of 2009, over one thousand men descended upon Dallas, Texas for Texas Bear Round-Up 14: "Men At Work." TBRU 14 was a rousing success with the largest attendance ever recorded by the Dallas Bears, who produce the event. Even in these tough global economic times the Dallas Bears, Friends, Partners and Attendees were able to raise much needed money for our three local charities, Youth First Texas, AIDS Interfaith Network and AIDS Services of Dallas.
