Work night signups: We are very close to the end of our season! In order to keep your points earned for yearend awards your work night must be completed; also you must have attended 5 races to qualify! We have 4 races in September with three held Wed. nights and one fundraiser on the 10th we will need a lot of help to put these on please contact Amanda or Renee to schedule your work night. After Sept. there is only one make up race in Oct to finish off the work nights so please if you haven’t got yours in get scheduled so if you do qualify for one of awesome awards you can have it :0) Just a reminder if you don’t have points to lose and you don’t complete your work night there is a 25.00 fine assessed to you.
Keeping you in the loop
Congrats to Danielle and Tyler Saunders on the birth of their son Ryder Mason 6lb 11oz 18 inches long. Look out girls another up and coming cute cowboy!
This year has really flown by and I for one have been enlightened on what it takes to put these races on, I have enjoyed getting to know the members better and being in on the shopping for awards and planning the annual events we all look so forward to what a blast and yes a lot of hard work! It really makes me appreciate the races that much more!
New ideas and thoughts and perspectives are always a good thing!! Please be thinking about new people to nominate for the officer and board of directors positions and if any of you have questions about the job duties etc. please ask a board member at the next race I have met several of you this year that I think would make great directors and officers:0)
Also it’s that time of year for nominations for specialty awards: We will be taking nominations the first and second race in Sept so please be thinking about who you’d like to see awarded! The categories are Horse of the year, Most Improved Horse, Most Improved Rider, Hard Luck Award, and Outstanding Service.
We have a few more need to know things for the end of the year: We are looking for silent auction donations/items please let us know if you have something in mind all types of things and donations are welcome and appreciated! The location for this year’s banquet is still up in the air if you have ideas on where we can hoot it up at please let us know.
Reminder-The September races are all held back at the fairgrounds in Kennewick. Please plan on attending our last fundraiser race of the year on Sept. 10th it’s our last big shot at earning monies to go towards year end awards and fun!! See ya all there :0)
Happy racing, ride hard and go fast!
*Please remember that you can always ask any of the board of directors questions you need answered or clarified. |
