Alternatives were then discussed: That (1) Possibility of selling Chug-amoo to MEDA or
(2) Form a separate taxable corporation of producer members. At this time Mr. Horara.t left meeting.
The opinions of Mr. Welter and Mr. Cummings were then asked for and given. Mr. Welter Stated that it would take approximately~ months to get a ruling as to whether if Chug-a-moo was sold to MEDA if it would jeopardize their tax exempt status.

As agreed at the August 19th ADA of Colorado Board of Directors' meeting, please
consider this notice that the next Executive Committee meeting will be held
WEDNESDAY, September 8, at 10:30 a. m., in this office.
Minutes of our ADA of Colorado meeting and those from the MEDA Executive
Committee are enclosed for reading at your leisure.
Planning for the national ADA Fall meeting will be a major item of business at
this meeting. Hopefully, by that time we should also have some fresh information
regarding handling of Chugamoo and further steps toward the changeover to UDIA. At this _writing, we still are "recovering" from the State Fair which we must
consider a success from our viewpoint. More than 30,000 samples of frozen
Chugamoo were distributed. We gave them away the first two days, then put a nickel-a-stick price on them for the rest of the Fair. Public response was
excellent.
More at the meeting Wednesday. If you cannot be present, please call prior to 10:30 a. m., Wednesday. HTR:hc Best regards,

Gentlemen & Mrs. Zehnder,
As you will recall, we had planned to meet with the MEDA Executive Committee on October 4 to present and discuss an advertising/promotion budget for 1972.
Results of the combined meetings of UDIA, ADA, NOC, and DRINC held in Chicago last
week makes our proposed meeting impractical.
We are in the position at the moment of having no idea what amount of money will be required to fund our fair share of the national programs.
As background, UDIA received budget requests from ADA, NOC and DRINC. The requests totaled about 10 million dollars more than anyone can realistically forecast as income for UDIA during the coming year. In view of the problem, UDIA took all requests under advisement for 30 days and will report its decisions at that time. Without knowledge of what it will take to fund the national programs, it is virtually impossible to devise or determine a budget for our local prograr,1s. President Wailes and myself both feel it will be considerably more practical to plan a meeting for November when we have essential information at our disposal.
Meanwhile, MEDA's schedule of 15 district meetings begins next week. We will look forward to seeing each of you and your own meeting between now and the time we meet next as ADA of Colorado.
Best regards,

The community is located in an agricultural region where interest
in horses and "Western traditions runs high. The festival period is a
major activity within the community during the year and most cit
i-zens of the community become involved in one way or another because
of their interest in the regional customs and traditions. The festival
is advertised .extensively, not only locally, but also in surrounding communities.
In addition, the organization makes its grounds and facilities avail-able, at no cost, to other civic and school organizations during the year.
The organization's primary source of income is from admission
charges to the rodeo. Disbursements are for prizes to the winning riders
and operating expenses for the festival. Any net profits are used to
improve the rodeo and retire indebtedness incurred in acquiring rodeo
properties.
Section 501 ( c) ( 4) of the Code provides for the exemption from
Fed-eral income tax of civic leagues or organizations not organized for
profit but operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare.
Section l.501(c) (4)-l(a) (2) of the Income Tax Regulations pro-vides that an organizatipn is operated exclusively for the promotion
of social \\'elfare if it is primarily engaged in promoting in some ,my
the common good and general \Yelfare of the people of the community.
An organization coming within the scope of this section is one which
is operated primarily to bring about ci \·ic betterments and sor,ial
improvements.
In carrying on the activities described, the organization provides
recrcat ion for the community, publicizes the community and attracts
persons to it, promotes community growth, and provides a means
whereby citizens may express their interest in local history, customs,
and traditions. These activities promote the common good and general
welfare of the people of the community and bring about civic
better-ments and social improvements. •
Accordingly, the organization qualifies for exemption from Federal
income tax under section 501 ( c) ( 4) of the Code.
Even though an organization considers itself ,Yithin the scope of
this Revenue Ruling, 1t must (in order to establish exemption under
section 501(c) (4) of the Code) file an application on Form 1024,

efficient production and sale of that product, qualif-ied for exemption from Federal income tax as a business league under se.ction 501 ( c) ( 6)
of the Internal ReYenue Code of 1954.

busine s league as an association of persons having some common
business interest, the purpose of which is to promote such conunon
interest and not to engage in a regular l>usiness of a kind ordinarily
carried on for profit. It is an organization of the same general class
as a chamber of commerce or board of trade. Thus, its acti,·ities should
be directed to the irnproYement of business conditions of one or more
lines of business a distinguished from the performance of particular
sen·ices for indh-idual persons.
It i the posit.ion of the Sen·ice that organizations promoting a
