I will quote Rich Boyd on this, it was a real “tear jerker.” I thank Al and Sarah Filice on their continued involvement and support. We are now getting ready for a Fund raiser Square Dance. It is the goal of the board members to provide events that educate and bring equestrians together in an enjoyable setting. But from time to time we need to raise funds to support this organization. Membership dues alone do not support the magazines, mailers, websites, General meetings and sometimes venues. With that said when we have a fund raiser such as the Square Dance or the Christmas Wreath Sale we ask that you support your organization by attending or encouraging others to participate. For me now more than ever the Past Presidents’ ride is a special ride where we enjoy the company of past presidents and honor them for their hard work and dedication. By the time you receive this magazine we will have had this ride in Half Moon Bay. I look forward to sharing more with you in Magazine: Rosemarie Menager the next issue.

We had excellent Welcome New Members instructors and excellent classes for the riders who came. In Dani Weber, San Mateo fact, classes were like semi-private classes for those attending. We all had a ball and those attending learned and improved Jenifer Hunter, Saratoga a lot! Lex Bunten, Palo Alto Mother Nature challenged us to be tough. The first two Shannon Briggs, Belmont sessions had hurricane-force winds making it hard to even see each other across the arena. The uncommon weather Cindy Sidaris, Los Altos was like the dust bowl revisited. The cool summer couldn’t Lisa Garono, Mountain View keep some determined riders away but it may have reduced attendance. SilverHawk Russi, South San Francisco Karen Shawback did a wonderful job as usual organizing Diane and Bob Garcia, Woodside the clinic. Volunteers from SMCHA filled the announcer’s Trish Clayburgh, Palo Alto booth at the Mounted Patrol Grounds.
