Minutes from March Meeting

The meeting started at 7: 30 PM, with 23 members and 4 guests present. The minutes were read with 2 errors. The first erwas the discussion about the High Point trophy members and non members were mixed up. The second error was the list

show classes. It was not a class list but possible year end qualifying classes. Corrections were accepted by Kathy, and

seconded by Tara.

TREASURERS REPORT: Balance is $3, 768.48.

COMMUNICATIONS: OAS March Dinner and Tack sale will be March 28. ThePumpkinfest seminar will be April 5. The Neil Mcleod Clinic is June 12th and 13th.

SPORTS: Everything is in order and just waiting for the season to start.

SHOW: Laura Gray is no longer able to direct the shows this year. Tammy has replacedher, and Tara will help the day of the show. Everything for the show has been covered, andthe programs have been done by Tammy and Tara. Kathy has a suggestion for a judgeand will discuss with Tammy at a later time.

PUBLICITY: Brochures and posters have been made and hung up at a variety of places.Shannon has posters for individual events such as shows, trail rides, etc. Shannon hastried to contact different places to set up a display and currently Arthur Street Mall hasagreed. She would like the display to have a variety of photos of different albums and hopeto have a membership drive. There is no cost for our display since we are a non-profitorganization.

YOUTH: The hats and T-shirts have been ordered and hope to have them available in time to sell at the April 10th dance. Also, pleasbring donations for the dance.

OLD BUSINESS: We have 2 motions to vote on. The first motion was that if in a case that we only have one show, should the High Pwinner for that show happen to be a non-member, should the Year End High Point trophy be given out to a member. 18 members wefavour and 5 members opposed. The motion was passed, therefore the next member in good standing, who is in succession will beawarded the trophy.Second motion was to have a sanctioned MBRA barrel run at the end of our gymkhanas, which we are only allowed to have two. Themembers vote unanimous in favour.

The Arab club will have 6 classes in our show.

The June 6th show will have 2 divisions in the driving classes, which will be open and miniature.

The paint club would like to have their own classes in our show as well. Unfortunately, we do not have enough time or room toaccommodate them in our program and since they are stock horses, they can show in the openclasses.

The Gaited Club also has classes in our show and they are able to collect their points.

NEW BUSINESS: OAS will not give us permission to use their kitchen. This will result ina loss of revenue and we hope to make it up in fundraising. OAS will run their kitchenfor our events. It is possible that perhaps LLHA will be able to put up their own buildingfor a kitchen. LLHA will attend their next meeting to clarify any misunderstandingbetween the two clubs.

OAS has requested that we collect our garbage and put it into the barn at the end of allof our events, volunteers are needed for this duty.

Our first gymkhana is fast approaching and we are still searching for our LLHA flags thatare needed for our opening ceremonies.

Lisa Vanlenthe would like to take pictures at our events again this year. We havehopes for a LLHA fundraising calendar using her photos.

Kathy has found some old newsletters, charity letters, constitution, etc. Frank willphotocopy anything he doesnt already have and will return them to Kathy.

The rules were reviewed. There was mention of changing the Pole Bending rule.. The new rule would be that we would be absteady the pole, the same we can steady the barrels. 3 members were in favour, and 20 members opposed, therefore we will leave thrule as it stands.

It was suggested that LLHA could hold a yard sale and all proceeds would go the club. Members can donate items and we corun this fundraiser during our event.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:53 PM.

Dear Cindy and Ray,

LLHA would like to extend our condolences. The loss of a horse is much like the loss of a best friend or a confidant. Always remembetime spent in the saddle and the memories you share will never be lost or forgotten, but forever remembered not only by yourself, but bythose around you as well.

As I write this I am in tears myself. I lost my mare of 16 years on March 23. Some may not remember Bambi, for I retired her fromgymkhanas in the mid 90s. She was MY first horse, my teacher and my best friend. She looked after me on the trails for years and I tcare of her to the end. Although I have 3 fantastic horses in the pasture, I still find it difficult to take another on a trail ride.I would like to thank everyone who gave me their condolences, thoughts, stories and encouragement.I would also like to take this chance to thank my family. To my Mom, Carol Soltys, who dropped everything and rushed over to my housee Bambi the second she got the news. My wish was to bury her at my Moms so she could rest beside all of her old pasture mates wpassed before her. Mom did not waste a second and made sure the necessary equipment was ready for her burial the very next day. husband Matthew, I thank you for being there for Bam, when I couldnt. I cannot express the gratitude I have that you were the one whtook care of her during her final moments. As difficult as she was, Im assured she was at peace with you. Dianne McParland, you nevhesitate to help. When called upon, you never let our family down. Thank you for all your assistance that day, for I know it was a difficuone. Again, thank you to all my friends, family, and LLHA members who expressed their condolences and especially the Jurcik family the beautiful card.
