The CDSA started as a simple mailing list of frisbee people in 1992. Eventually a newsletter and the Thin Air Tour points series was established and ran for many years. Back then you got very excited to receive the CDSA newsletter in the mail as it contained all the tournament registration forms which you filled out and then mailed in with your check, hoping the postal service would get your it to the TD's mailbox before everyone else.
In 2013 we found out that we had lost our IRS 501c4 non-profit status and therefor stopped all memberships, Thin Air Tour, NC9HC and all other financial concerns. Since then there's been a constant flow of promotion through this website, Facebook and Twitter as well as a lot of brainstorming.
Our first new goal is to create a board of directors consisting of members from all corners and regions of the state. It should be an organization that benefits and supports all Colorado frisbee enthusiasts. We will detail more further but here is where we think we should go and what we've been working on.
FUTURE VISION:
