Show Meeting

The date of the show meeting will be Monday March 31 at 7pm in the Mitchell Room.  The structure of the national and provincial shows has changed and this will affect our shows and it  is very important that you (the parent) attend this meeting.  There is a criteria to be met and this is where the information is given out.  The Equine Canada Long Term Athlete Development Plan will be explained at this meeting  IF YOU WANT TO LEARN TO COMPETE THIS YEAR, YOU MUST ATTEND!  

 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Thank you to all who paid their bills during our recent blitz.  We are not for profit and seem to be having a cash flow problem.  It is only reasonable to expect payment on the first day of the month.

 

FUNDRAISING

The fund raising committee is hard at work with a lot of things in the works for the summer and fall, keep your eyes peeled for more info on this.

SUMMER EVENTS

We are planning some really exciting things for the summer that you will not want to miss out on.  Keep checking the website and the Lobby for details.

 

 

SPRING BULB CAMPAIGN

This year we will be embarking on a Vessey’s spring flower bulb campaign.  The order forms will be given out to the members during the week of March 31 to April 4.  Members have two weeks to pre sell their orders and the orders must be in to the office by the 21 of April.  Bulbs are delivered in approximately 10 days after that.  There is once again a cash prize for the member who raises the most money by selling the most bulbs.

 

PENNIES FROM HEAVEN

Some of you are aware of the penny drive that has been ongoing.  The jar is almost full but not quite to the top yet.  If you would like drop off your pennies we would be glad to have them

 

RECYCLABLES

FYI – we collect and return recyclables as one of our on-going fund raisers.  Just drop your bottles off in the lobby and we will take them up the stairs.

 

CANADIAN TIRE MONEY

Canadian tire money is yet another one of those things we collect and put to good use.  CTM can be put through the mail slot in the office.

 

Opportunities/Updates:

We regularly post sign up sheets, updated events, additional opportunities and important communications in the front lobby of lancers.  We do make every effort to include all information in the newsletter, however, please check the lobby when you are here for your weekly rides for any updates.  It is very important that you take a few minutes to check the lobby, so that you don't miss any opportunities or important information.

 

Show Meeting

The date of the show meeting will be set soon.  The structure of the national and provincial shows has changed and this will affect our shows but the exact impact is not known yet.  We will keep you posted, but it will be very important that you (the parent) attend this meeting.

The Junior executive has purchased a series of Training CD’s on Hunters, Jumpers and Dressage.  These videos are available for 2 night for rentals at a cost of $5 for each video.  They are fantastic learning tools.  You need to sign the videos for $10 each and $5 will be returned to you when you return the CD.  The retail cost of the CD is high and we would like to build a library.
