Dear Rider,
Prospective Rider, Volunteer, Prospective Volunteer:
What a salutation! But you know I always try to save a tree, and accomplish more than
one purpose with a letter. Enclosed with this letter is a copy of our general activities,
special events, and riding session dates.
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. If you are a prospective program rider,
information and an application package are enclosed with this letter. Contact me when
you are ready to schedule. If you are a returning rider, please call me at 457-3365 or
email me at trishdu@ccsisp.com
to start to schedule yourself according to Rivendell’s 4 sessions.
Please start to plan for our activities this season. We’ll start with Opening
Volunteer Training on Saturday, April 14 at 1 p.m. Volunteers - invite your friends! The first “fun”d
raiser is a return to Awards Nite which is scheduled for Friday, April 20 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. There will be a photo shoot day at
Rivendell on June 9 - rain date ~June 16 - with a picnic. We’ll hold a Fun and Games
Horseshow for you, your family, and friends on Sunday July 29, with reasonable (nice
way of saying “cheap”) class entry fees. And we are starting a trial run a Reading to
Horses program on Saturday afternoons in June and July. This program is geared to
help city kids (or country kids) with reading problems. (We have grant applications
pending for this, but if I have to purchase everything myself, this program will run.)
Horsin’
Around, our horse art auction, will be Saturday afternoon, September
29th. And how about a Halloween Party this year on Sat. Oct. 27th? 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. And if you are handy in the kitchen, I’ll need “treats” for Saturday
afternoons in June and July.
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,
Trish
