We are the Gunnison Valley Community Alliance and we believe in promoting responsible growth by participating in the regular processes of local government. Our group focuses on research and education on a variety of issues affecting the future of our communities and we will collaborate with other community groups wherever there is a shared interest. The first issue GVCA has taken up is the potential impact of super stores on local businesses, the city of Gunnison, and the Gunnison Valley. As several candidates in the past election have pointed out, the city and county of Gunnison are at a crossroads. The decisions of the next several months will set the course of the county's future for generations to come. Won't you please join us in ensuring fully-informed, smart decisions and a bright future?

Recent restatement of mission, and comments on our e-list:
Mission statement of the Gunnison Valley Community Alliance:
To preserve the
quality and distinctiveness of life for the
current and future residents of
the Gunnison Valley by maintaining
responsive, participatory government;
encouraging research and
education on issues affecting the future of our
communities; and
conserving the natural features that make this valley
uniquely
blessed.
The purpose behind our e-list was to establish group
communication and open
discussion for our membership.
We
have also, as a community organization, opened our list to anyone
from
the community who would like to either listen to or join the
conversation.
We are interested in the diversity of opinions that
can come from this
community.
We hope that everyone
who reads the messages on this list is willing to
respect that
same diversity, and appreciate that this is an internal group
forum
where people are expressing their opinion.
And, not that this
has been a problem to date, but just a reminder: personal
attacks
and inappropriate language do not belong in this group
discussion.
The resolution of differences of opinions which
escalate into personal
exchanges between individuals should take
place outside this e-group.
Let's remember to discuss
concerns, issues and challenges to our community
-- and not
people.
Thanks for being part of our conversation.
