Hi all,
<\/span>
<\/span> We got some stuff done this past week or so, there are some questions for everyone below:
<\/span>
<\/span> Catrina is hard at work on the alphabet orgs awards.\u00a0 We have 4 embroidered coolers that will be given out at the AERC convention in March and one for the Eventing crowd (not sure if it\u2019s given at the convention or not).\u00a0 She and Betsy are taking over in-house (presented at our convention) awards too.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll see some great ideas and awards.
<\/span>
<\/span> We\u2019re figuring out what the ATAA can offer members to promote the AT.
<\/span>
<\/span> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tish has done up a proposal and will work on a CD so that people can print up their own brochures, breeder\u2019s lists etc.\u00a0 That way, we don\u2019t need to print and ship a huge bunch of brochures.\u00a0 I did get permission from Monica Bretherton to use the tri-fold she did up as a back-up for the WEG.\u00a0 We can add a blurb about the ATAA and leave a space for people\u2019s farm info and our contact info.\u00a0
<\/span>
<\/span> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We came up with an amount of $150 to offer members going to expos and Catrina, Tish, Amrita, Jas, Betsy and Cathy voted for it.\u00a0
<\/span>
<\/span> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I did send out an email to the membership about people going to Expos and\/or ideas, but have heard nothing back.\u00a0
<\/span>
<\/span> We\u2019ve received renewals for the Clubs and Associations insurance ($500) and the Fidelity Bond ($111).\u00a0 I\u2019ve sent the first to Amrita already, will send the second within a day or so.
<\/span>
<\/span> January Newsletter is out, email version already gone out, paper to go out as soon as I get to the post office (Monday or Tuesday).
<\/span>
<\/span> We\u2019re still working on the 2013 budget \u2013 changes to the email I sent out before:\u00a0 Tish would like to have $750 available for promotions.\u00a0\u00a0 We spent $200 on USDF for awards last year, $150 for Fotata awards and $287 for \u2018awards\u2019, not sure exactly what that was.\u00a0 We will have some more money going out for awards given in 2013 for awards earned in 2012 (clear as mud).\u00a0 So that is $637 for last year.\u00a0 I expect we\u2019ll have more awards this year so we probably need a bit more for 2013, maybe up to $750 or $1000?\u00a0 What does everyone think?
<\/span>
<\/span> We\u2019re almost ready to start issuing registration certificates.\u00a0 There have been some significant \u2018roadblocks\u2019 in getting to this point.\u00a0 We\u2019re still learning Lucy\u2019s system and Mac doesn\u2019t translate very well to PC.\u00a0 I\u2019ve had to reformat quite a few things to get them to print correctly.\u00a0 Amrita has bought some nice paper and we\u2019re deciding which one looks best.
<\/span>
<\/span> Terri is working on the 2013 Conference \u2013 at this point, she\u2019s thinking late September.\u00a0 If anyone has plans in September, contact her now!
<\/span>
<\/span> Terri and I will be sending out a mailing for the Conference and membership renewal and new memberships in February (I think).\u00a0 We\u2019ve already gotten 26 renewals (counting lifetime members too) with 6 of those being completely new members.\u00a0 The \u2018early renewal\u2019 before Dec. 31st worked well and the presentation halter goes to Scott Sears, DVM.\u00a0 Thanks to Shannon Mayfield for making it \u2013 I\u2019m hoping Scott will take a photo of his horse with it on and send it to us.
<\/span>
<\/span> So, lots of stuff accomplished and plenty more \u2018in progress\u2019.\u00a0 Good work ladies!
<\/span>
<\/span> Cathy
