 * First, you must explicitly license the rights to the material according to GFDL, as explained in WP:COPYRIGHT and WP:DONATING COPYRIGHT MATERIAL, which gives everyone in the world an irrevocable license to reuse and alter the material But regardless of this, the article is written like a press release for your group, not an encyclopedic description of it, and does not contain references showing your group is notable, by providing substantial coverage from  3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.  If you can do this, then you can write an article. But this one is entirely promotional and does not show notability, and, As reviewing admin, I     must   delete it.
