Hi everyone,
<\/span>
<\/span> Things continue to progress \u2013 great work from everyone!
<\/span>
<\/span> The past week or so:
<\/span>
<\/span> 1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 4 awards coolers were presented at the first national non-Teke awards banquet last night \u2013 AERC ATAA awards were presented to 4 horse-ride combos.\u00a0 The awards were also mentioned in the AERC Yearbook (incorrectly, I might add) but they are there!\u00a0 Kudos to Catrina for a job well done.\u00a0 I suspect we\u2019ll have lots more competition for 2014 awards.
<\/span>
<\/span> 2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Terri has announced the dates of the 2013 Annual Conference, to be held in Minnesota, Oct 4, 5 and 6th.\u00a0 She asked for an informal survey of where members wanted the meeting to be held and an overwhelming number said \u201cnearer to the horses\u201d.
<\/span>
<\/span> 3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The ATAA bumper stickers have arrived and will go out with the bylaws booklet and membership directory.\u00a0 Thanks to Tish for getting them made up \u2013 they look great!
<\/span>
<\/span> 4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Registrations continue to progress.\u00a0 Amrita and I are figuring out a system and have issued quite a few certificates (I don\u2019t have the actual number), with quite a few more pending.\u00a0 We are also starting to work on old pending registrations.
<\/span>
<\/span> 5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Memberships continue to roll in \u2013 right now, we have 39 members, with 9 of those being either completely new or long time absent members.\u00a0 I just sent out a mailing to other Teke people and also to members that haven\u2019t renewed yet, asking them to join us too.\u00a0 We should get some more memberships from those.
<\/span>
<\/span> 6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Our proposed 2013 budget is done and will be in the next newsletter.
<\/span>
<\/span> 7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 An interesting promotion was proposed on the Teke chat list \u2013 doing another HorseFlicks video, following some Teke-rider teams in their sports, such as an endurance rider and possibly an eventer.\u00a0 I think this would be a good one to discuss at the Yearly Conference.
<\/span>
<\/span> Keep up the good work!
<\/span>
