Thanks to all of you who helped make Show Jumping Rally one of the best-run rallies ever! RVPC was in charge of Hospitality and Volunteer Coordination, and we got compliments all weekend about how well we did both jobs. It's our people - we work hard & have fun doing it! Results for our kids will be posted below (under "Kudos") as soon as they are posted by the region.
We have two club commitments coming up on the horizon: D Rally on July 3 and our Benefit Show on July 11. Cathy will be coordinating D Rally jobs and volunteers; plan to help set up on Friday, July 2, and run the rally with Highlands on Saturday. Cathy will send out an email with specific needs. We will set up for our Benefit Show on Saturday, July 10. Adele will coordinate jobs and volunteers, so look for an email from her about that soon too. I know it feels like we just got finished with a huge commitment, and we did, but the more people who help out with these upcoming events, the less work any one individual has to do. Plus, we have fun together!
Lastly, Cathy and I are finalizing dates for future Mounted Meetings. The next one scheduled is for Sunday, June 27, at Bernard's farm, so please let Laura know if you plan to attend ASAP so she can plan the groups. As soon as the dates for future MMs are set, I will post them here on our calendar.
