The focus of the chapter is to be an active part of the LGBT community through the hosting of fund-raising events to benefit local charities and to educate others on the country-western lifestyle through rodeo, dance events, and royalty. Membership is not restricted and all who are interested are welcome to join. Current membership consists of experienced individuals that have horses and individuals with nothing more than a desire to learn. Those individuals with a desire to compete may do so at any of the various IGRA rodeos. http://www.bayarearodeo.com/about.html Scanned with Microtek Scanmaker 1000XL Pro; as a 600 dpi TIFF image in 8-bit Grayscale.
