CLOUD 9 CRUISERS CLUBMISSION STATEMENT & CLUB CHARTER

MISSION STATEMENT: Cloud 9 Cruisers Club (C9CC) is an unincorporated off-road atv/utv club formed by a group of individuals primarily for the purpose of fundraising efforts to assist in restoration, preservation and improving the assets of Cloud 9 Ranch Club, Inc. C9CC is committed to improve the safety aspect for anything necessary, be it trails, playground equipment, campground pads, pools etc. for the owners, based solely on input and approval. C9CC’s mission is to facilitate the atv/utv enthusiasts with the necessary support to raise funds to procure necessary supplies and equipment needed when a project has been established for the benefit of Cloud 9 Ranch. C9CC’s members will work with ranch management/maintenance to prioritize areas of concern when restoration, preservation or improvement is necessary anywhere on ranch property. Cloud 9 Ranch owns it, we only want to preserve, restore and upgrade it. C9CC officers consist of: Two co-chairmen, a secretary, treasurer and project coordinator. C9CC’s fundraising efforts for the benefit of Cloud 9 Ranch will be delivered by a C9CC officer; accounting for the use of those funds will be tracked and verified by Project Coordinator. Upon completion of project, a detailed report will be presented to C9CC membership in an eNewsletter and other ways of publication available. Upon request of a C9CC member, C9CC reserves the right to provide additional fundraising efforts from time to time for charitable causes not associated with Cloud 9 Ranch Club, Inc., as long as the larger portion of all fundraising efforts are for the benefit of Cloud 9 Ranch Club assets and properties.

CHARTER: The first 100 memberships acquired (or number of memberships in the months of June & July, 2010) are considered Charter Members of C9CC.
