ABOUT US

 FRAPA was incorporated as a nonprofit on April 12, 1983 under the laws of the state of Colorado.  The President was Greg Stephen, Vice President Gene Wilson, Secretary Glenn Harvey, and Treasurer Mil Harr (Mil also wrote the newsletter and kept the membership list). Though we often think of ourselves as a “club”, we are officially a corporation. Operating under the laws of Colorado we are guided by standard business operating principles. These include; board meetings; recording corporate activities; accurate records of financial transactions, tax returns etc. 
 
Of the above the Board meetings are a critical and key element. 
 
Typically, during the board meetings, the standard business operating principles are addressed first, policies adopted, club direction set, the authorization of officers to take the actions to manage the business, etc., essentially meeting the corporate requirements.
 
The meeting then transitions into the topics which separate FRAPA from the typical corporation. These topics range from member concerns, club activities, event selection and planning, restoration projects, building expansions, etc. All members are invited and encouraged to attend the Board Meetings. This is where you can help drive the direction of FRAPA and make FRAPA better. The meetings are held the 3rd Tuesday of every month 6:30p.m. at the FRAPA shop. Please join!
