National Brittany Rescue and Adoption Network (NONPROFIT) NBRAN
175 15th NE #203
Atlanta, GA 30309 National Brittany Rescue & Adoption Network (NBRAN) is an alliance of dedicated Brittany rescue volunteers who share a deep love for the breed and who will work to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home Brittanys in need, whether abandoned, lost, stray or surrendered to rescue for placement. As volunteers united in a common cause, we are committed to the care of these dogs in foster homes, and providing for their physical and emotional needs. We are committed in our endeavor to help them with all the resources we have available. We pledge to maintain a community of volunteers who treat each other, and the dogs they rescue, with respect, courtesy, kindness and love. We will seek always to lend encouragement and to support one another, and to facilitate friendly collaboration and cooperation between our volunteers. We believe that by building a supportive, dog-centered organization founded on respect, honesty and integrity, we will always remain focused on the welfare of the Brittanys entrusted to our care and hold their interests uppermost in our hearts and minds. Our mission is to place these dogs in safe, loving and permanent homes with approved applicants, and to provide a supportive network for our volunteers, who after all, make our goals possible.

Gospel Music Workshop of America, Inc. "Atlanta Chapter" (NONPROFIT) Gospel Music Workshop of America, Inc. "Atlanta Chapter"
P. O. Box 56223
Atlanta, GA 30343 The Atlanta Chapter of the Gospel Music Workshop of America was formed on January 20, 1976 by a group of singers and musicians who sought to adopt the ideals of the national organization of the Gospel Music Workshop of America (GMWA) and align themselves with other chapters across the country and around the world involved in the promotion and the advancement of gospel music. After petitioning the national organization, a charter was granted to The Atlanta Chapter on May 10, 1976. Like the goals of the national parent organization, the primary aspiration of The Atlanta Chapter is to equip singers and musicians performing in their individual, local churches with the academic and technical training needed to enhance the effective delivery of the gospel message through music. The acquisition of knowledge allows gospel singers and musicians to present gospel music to the world with ever-increasing excellence, professionalism, dignity and pride.
