Hi all,

Sorry we missed you at Sally's last Sunday.  Here are the minutes from the meeting.  Sally and Gina have reviewed them and agreed to them.  Jan, do you put them on the website?   Joan, do you do anything with them as Secretary?

Also Jan, can you put the next meeting on the calendar?

Thanks much.  Wish you all a very nice holiday.

Monica

Thoughts on activities for coming year:

       - February Educational Event "Seeing the horse in a different light"  presented by Moses Gonzales at Sally Ruckers Remington Farm,  2 day event date TBD

       - Set up schedule for schooling shows and competition clinics at locations spread out to cover Delta Sierra area - this will be the main topic for the January meeting so please attend if you have thoughts or feedback.  Things to consider:  High Point Awards for a series of schooling shows, could scores from competition clinics be included in High Point calculation

       - How to encourage and reward volunteers - possibly give tokens to volunteers that can be redeemed or put in a drawing at the end of the year for a significant award 

       - Make events open to general public, give DS members a reduced cost

       - Pay ranch owners who host events: have a guaranteed minimum amount?
