President’s Letter

To all CVCA members, Happy New Year! Welcome to 2019. I hope that everyone had a wonderful, magical holiday season. As the club begins its new year, our award-winning newsletter now has an official name. This is the first issue of, "The Driving Lines"

This is my first “official president’s” letter for “The Driving Lines”, the newsletter of the CVCA. As I begin my term as president, I would like to thank past president, Carol Ilacqua for the great job she did as president of the club. During her tenure, there were many positive moments and improvements. Planning and organizing monthly club events and yearly driving clinics, are just some of the examples of positive activities that occurred. Plus, membership numbers increased. I hope to continue this positive trajectory that the club is on. I welcome any comments or suggestions from the membership about club events/activities that you would like to see the club organize. The CVCA is truly an awesome driving club, with awesome members. Let’s keep up the great work! Joining me on this journey is a board of directors made up of CVCA members that are hard at work organizing club events for 2019. I would like to acknowledge and thank Joanne Schoonmaker and Lisa Teichert for their time as secretary and treasurer, respectively. Both Lisa and Joanne will be staying on the CVCA board as directors. Stepping into the offices of secretary and treasurer will be Deb Grantham and Sharon Baum. Thank you! Continuing on as directors: Peg Walbridge, (V.P.) Lorraine Van Luven, and Carol Buckhout. Welcome to the newest member of this team: Kathy Miller. Thanks to all for volunteering your time to the club. I look at wintertime as a period of re-grouping, re-charging and reflection, since horse related activities slow down. I’m sure our horse and ponies also look forward to a bit of rest, also. During this “quiet” time, perhaps everyone can start making goals and planning for 2019. This is a good way to pass the time of a long winter. I definitely plan to take part in this activity. The first CVCA educational seminar for 2019 will be held on Sunday January 27. Dr. Alyson Waring from Early Winter Equine Clinic will be speaking about equine eye care and disease. This event will be held at the Cazenovia College Equine Educational Center. More info about this event and the February event can be found in this newsletter. Mark your calendars and make plans to attend this and all other club events in 2019. You won’t be disappointed! I look forward to seeing everyone at a CVCA event in 2019. Judy

Passings…. Jeanne A. Fero, 73, of Chittenango passed quietly on Monday, December 3, 2018, with her husband, Jim by her side, after several years of battling the ups and downs of pancreatic cancer. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She grew up in Syracuse with her mother, Margaret and sister Susan. She was graduated from SUNY Oswego with her degree in teaching K-12.

During her illness, Jeanne continued to work as a substitute teacher at Chittenango Central Schools. She has been teaching there for over forty years and was a student body favorite. She not only taught academic but life lessons to her students and was a mentor to other teachers.

The class of 2018 voted to dedicate their yearbook to her, an honor she cherished. Jeanne also worked at the Lorenzo State Historic Site for many years as a community liaison and tour guide. She loved being able to teach visitors and share her knowledge about the history of the Lorenzo site and of the Cazenovia and Central New York Region. � She was an avid horsewoman and animal lover. She loved and rode horses from a young age. She owned and trained horses throughout her life. Jeanne was a volunteer of the Astride Riding program for children with disabilities and instilled the therapeutic effects of riding to her daughter, Jenifer. Jeanne also became involved in carriage driving and was a long-time member of the Cherry Valley Carriage Association, where she served as president from 2003- 2005. She loved competing in driving and riding competitions, lots of times with Jim as her “whip” – driving companion. Jeanne and her horses won many ribbons and prizes but just getting out for a ride or drive was her true passion that she continued until just a few years ago. �. � Survivors include her husband, of 51 years, James E.; her children, Ian J. (Dot) Fero of Las Vegas and Jenifer J. (Sal) Pratico of Castleton, NY; grandchildren, Quinn Pratico, and Jaelyn Fero and her sister, Susan Sollauer of Las Vegas. Contributions may be made in Jeanne’s memory to Cancer Connects, Inc., 5008 Brittonfield Pkwy, PO Box 2010, East Syracuse, NY 13057.
