January 2006 Newsletter

Hello Everyone,

Happy New Year to you All!

Wow we made it to another year.Thank you to all members for making this past year so great. We had a good time joining the Trail Trotters Program with the ELCR's mission to preserve our trails.

This year we are working with the Forest Service at Fires Creek to put up tie ups at Hunters camp. The stream is in danger of being polluted by horses being tied too close to the stream. Hunters camp is a great close place to camp and we need to make sure it is there for us, so please become a part of this effort to save Hunters Camp. Sigh up at the meeting to volunteer as we will be starting this project very soon to be finished by National Trail Trotter Day on June 3rd 2006.

Also, please mark your calenders for the St. Jude Ride. It will be April 2nd, 2006. This is for a very good cause, to help kids with cancer, so plan to attend and be thinking of all the sponsors you can get. We will be planning this ride at our meetings, so if you can't attend please give me a call or Donna Gains for information about this important ride. I hope our club will make this event become a great success.

We had a wonderful, great, party. I hope you all had as much fun as I did. A big THANK YOU!! To Barbara Carouse for decorating all the tables and walls. When we got there, there were No decoration. Barbara worked hard and made the room beautiful! Thank you again Barbara!!

Also I would like to say many, many thanks to you all for the gift and LOVE you gave me that night. Your kindness to me was overwhelming. I love this club and hope to serve it to the best of my abilities I have made so many dear friends though my horses and this club, I'm truly blessed!
