We also had a change in the Treasurer position. Steve Hein held that position for the last two years and he did a great job. Thanks Steve! Kathy Duvall has replaced him and I would like to thank her for taking the position.

Pete Kulp took my place as Vice-President and he is always looking for donations to his Fishing Fund.

Our Board of Directors also got an injection of new faces. Barb Keenen and Judy Hanson were added to the Board and Doug has one year left on his term. With the mix of new and old, the Board should have lots of good ideas.

I would like to invite all of our members to all of our meetings. We try to have our meetings in centrally located areas to make it easier for our members to come and join us. Your ideas are important to the running of this club. If you can't make it to a meeting but have something that you would like addressed, please feel to contact any of the Board of Directors or Officers.

Something to think about when you pay your 2002 dues. Do you know anyone who has Appaloosa horses that might like to join? Are there activities that you would help the club do that would attract new members? If you know someone who would like a newsletter, let us know.

Thank you to Barb Keenan for the membership donated in memory of her husband Bob.

That is all for this month. The weather has been so nice I hope everyone has been able to get as much riding in as possible.
