Greenwood Suspending CHL Qualifications

I have been using Greenwood Gun Club down in Brazoria off and on for the past year to conduct CHL range qualifications. I received 11th hour notification today that they could not accommodate my class on Saturday because, "the club has suspended all for profit activities because our non profit status has expired. This includes CHL shooting."

Does anybody have any input into the situation at Greenwood? Why has their non profit status lapsed and are they working to get it back?

This puts me in a jam for Saturday. There aren't a lot of ranges open to outside instructors in that area. I spoke with Gary Broadus of Brazoria County Gun Range and he can't open his range up to me for some very understandable reasons nor can he qualify them for me because he's out of town.

I was told that just down FM2004 from Brazoria County Gun Range is a place called Accuracy Gun Range but I can't find much info about them on the web. Anybody have a phone number or email for them?

Anybody have any other ideas? I've already explored my privately owned land options. I've never left a class hanging... this won't be my first.

You've probably already done this, but just in case, here's the Google results for gun ranges in the Brazoria area:

my first guess would be an IRS-990 issue

I was able to locate a small range in Angleton that heard about the Greenwood issue and was willing to help me out. Thanks much Davin Jennings for all of your help. Truely a stand up guy!

Yup... the former treasurer failed to file their 990 form for a couple of years. They are in the process of getting the stuff together.
