Bears
San Diego is a club for bears and bear fanciers. We are based
in San Diego, California but we have members throughout the United
States and even a few from overseas. Bears San Diego was established
in San Diego in October 1994 when a need was recognized for a
group who did not fit in with the main stream gays. Within the
first year, the club grew to 100 members.
In
2003 Bears San Diego took the next step and began our journey
to become a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization. We finalized
the process in the summer of 2006 when Bears San Diego got it's
final approval from the Internal Revenue Service to do business
as a Non-Profit Organization.
Bears
San Diego is bound by a strict set of Bylaws
and operates under Roberts
Rules of Order. Bears San Diego is both a fundraising orginization
and a social club, balancing the needs of the community and the
needs of the membership.
Club
members consist of all types; bears, cubs, otters and those who
have little or no body hair but enjoy the company of hirsute men.
We even have a straight couple and a few lesbians in our club
as well!
Bears
San Diego's purpose is to bring together men of like minds on
a social basis, providing events at a local bar, den night at
member's homes, outings to movies, restaurants, the zoo and parties
with other Bear Clubs. These gatherings give participants the
opportunity to actually meet other bears and admirers to create
new friendships.
