We have started
to plan for our activities this 2009 season:
Herd about
Rivendell? Rivendell ReCreation Center is a private,
all-volunteer, not-for-profit corporation in South Wales, New
York, that has been dedicated since 1984 to horseback riding
programs for mentally, emotionally and physically challenged
children and adults.
We’ll be starting with our Opening Volunteer Training on
Saturday, April 18TH at 1 p.m. Volunteers - invite your friends!
More information can be found under the Operating Schedule.
An annual “fun”d raiser is our Horsin’ Around
Rivendell. Horsin’ Around, is our horse art auction. It will
be held Sunday afternoon, May 17th, 2009 at the Erie County
Masonic Center on Union Road in Cheektowaga, NY.
For additional

addressed to
framar@framaree.com or Trish at
tdudek@hughes.net
or Carol at omax3@hughes.net
A new fundraiser
this year is the selling of Yankee Candles. We will be
taking orders from April 28 to May 19, 2009. Please feel free to
contact Carol at
omax3@hughes.net for more information or to place an
order through us.
A new fundraiser last year was calendars for 2009. We still have
a few left if you still need a 2009 calendar or just care to
purchase one to support our endeavors.
We are already hard at work for 2010 calendar. Want your
birthday (day and month only!) or a family’s birthdays listed?
Or you and your sweethearts anniversary listed do you don’t
forget!!! ?? Calendars will only be sold for $10 each. There is
no charge for names added to calendar or how many.
We’ll also be tempting your sweet tooth with a repeat of our
fundraisers at Cold Stone Creamery—Watch for details!
Awards Nite is scheduled for September 18, 2009 at lIio
DePaulo’s. (No mystery dinner - just old-fashioned fun with
a comic program, Chinese auction, some volunteer awards, and
maybe one of those poems you liked so well.) And we’re only
charging $25 per person for this event. More details to follow.
Other fundraisers are in the process – but too early to let the
“cat or contests out of the bag yet” until more details are
known and worked out.
I don’t know how you feel, but I’m ready for some fun! So let’s
put the “fun” back into our program.
If you want to help with any of these activities, please let me
know. Extra hands always make a job lighter!
If you take private lessons from one of our instructors, please
feel free to call and start your lessons as soon as the
temperatures go back into the 30’s - or when the temperature
becomes comfortable for you. Contact me when you are ready to
schedule. If you are a returning rider, please call me at
457-3365 or email me (Trish) at
tdudek@hughes.net or
Carol at: omax3@hughes.net
to start to schedule yourself according to Rivendell’s 4
sessions.
******* Note:
Private lessons must be arranged with instructors - Trish:

I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you.... there may be
snow on the ground here, an occasional frozen water line, extra
fuzzy horses..., but spring is on the way. I am excited already
about seeing you all here, and laughing.
Love,
and the rest of the people gang, all our horses and barn cats
too. They miss everyone, but secretly, I think they miss the
carrots everyone brings the most.
