NO WILLOW HILL RIDING CLUB MEETING 1/15

The 3rd Sunday this month crept up on us. After talking to Bernadette and Sue, we decided to simply CANCEL the 1/15 meeting. We just had the Holiday party, and of course there is the Packer game that afternoon. For the record (Margaret and Madi and others): The distribution list for this message has been updated and can/should be used for club mailings until the next update. GO PACKERS!

New Business

·       We have two new members of the willow hill riding club, Dolores and Norm Mishelow.

·       The holiday season is quickly approaching and we would like to support another charity. We decided that we will bring non-perishable food items to our next meeting and possibly having some club members go caroling at nursing homes. We sent around a sign-up sheet at the meeting so if you didn’t have a chance to sign-up and would like to contact Margaret.

·       Fall clean-up will be held on Saturday, November 5 and will start at around noon.

·       Appy Orse Acers officially has a Facebook page. Make sure to you check it out.

·       A drill team sign-up sheet was passed around. We need to know if there would even be enough riders to even have a drill team so if you are interested and did not sign up you can e-mail me at msegrin@gmail.com and I will add you to the list.

·       Next month after the meeting we will take some time to share about our backgrounds as many of us only know each other as people from the stable or club. We will also have a scrapbooking activity afterwards so bring pictures of anything you would like to make a page about. If you have any fancy stickers or designs/paper you would like to bring please do because I only have a limited amount of stickers and I do not know how many people to expect.

·       Thanks to the Segrin’s for bringing snacks. The Wejusnora’s will bring snacks to the next meeting. Our next meeting will once again be at the Saukvillle Community Center at 3:30 p.m.

·        A large group has scheduled a trail ride for Oct.2, if you can help let Bernadette know.
