President’s Message

 

Our annual steak fry was a great success. Everyone did a great job on crafts. They came up with some really cute crafts. We needed some different prizes on the wheel and as always the members came through with flying colors. We always have great prizes on our wheel. I would also like to thank all the people that helped for the steak fry. As always you did a great job, our steaks were the best. A big thank you to the cooks Don, Bob and Heinz for standing over the heat to cook for us. I would also like to thank Ruth, Erla, Jay and Selma for all thier hard work.

 

Our show is at our heels, don't forget we need all the help we can get on Thursday to help set up. If your name is listed to work please try to be there, if not let Jay know so he can make changes on the schedule. Remember this is the only event we have for all of us to work together to have a successful show, this is what we work for all year.

 

Remember to think about who you would like to elect for the position that are going to be vacant, Show Chairperson and President. Please try to get involved in what is happening in the club. We need everyones input and support to keep our club alive and well.

 

Remember To Do What Needs To Be Done For The Good Of All, Always Speak The Truth; But Only Of The Good In Others.

 

Enjoy Life's Journey But Leave No Tracks.

We discussed the show preparation’s, we decided to have the Tooele search and rescue to provide security. We will pay them the same as last year which was five hundred dollars, David Chapman will be our inside security. Any members that want to use the club show cases should let Jay Woods know.

 

Vicky Stewart has a show case that she wants to sell she wants $25.00 for it. Mary Titus gave a report on Kimberly’s equestrian youth club, they have done very good this year, and next year they will be number one. Dennis is going to southern Utah he ask if any one wanted him to collect some Obsidian for them. Remember to post our show flyers around, anywhere they will be seen. Our election for club officers is coming up we need somebody to take office so think about who we could get or volunteer yourself.
