What's Happening with O.U.C.H?
April 7, 2012:
To all OUCH members,
It is with great sadness that the Board of Directors of OUCH is going to have to close the organization.
Over
the years OUCH has been a strong viable organization for the support
and research into cluster
headaches. Recently, membership interest has dropped, volunteerism is
low and there is no apparent interest in serving on the Board of
Directors. The current Board cannot continue alone, and per our
by-laws, and with no membership support or volunteers for office, we
must close the OUCH doors.
Over the years of OUCH’s existence,
there have been many people who have given their time and dedication to
not only OUCH, but to cluster headache support and research. We want to
thank each and every one of you for your support.
We are working
with the State of Texas, where we are registered as a 501c non-profit
corporation to close down according to Texas laws, as well as filing our
closure with the Internal Revenue Service.
Both our checking
account with Bank of America and our PayPal account will be closed and
all remaining funds will be donated to ClusterBusters which is a
registered 501c non-profit organization, as
well as other organizations devoted to cluster headache research and
support.
If you are an active registered member of OUCH, please go to the OUCH message board at clusterheadaches.com and read our official announcement.
We wish all of you well and to be pain free from cluster headaches. Please continue to visit clusterheadaches.com and clusterbusters.com for their wonderful information and support.
It hurts us dearly to have to do this but we have no options.
Sincerely,
OUCH Board of Directors
Carolyn Morris, President
Sue Jeffrey, Vice President
Jerry Callison, Secretary
Sandra Cullen, Treasurer
Jackie Warrior, Director
