presidents message:

Hi Everyone:

Well, another cutting season has come to a close and it turned out to be a great one. Thanks to Carol Ward, for making the new cutting facilities availble to the club cutters, many amateurs got to show in the same arenas that usually only the Open riders get to use at the bigger shows. It was great.

Remember our Awards Dinner Saturday, November 1st. Suzan Bonnington is taking reservations and will be there to help.

The Board is always looking for members to serve as a Director. Anyone who has a little time to help out and help the Club is invited to contact one of the Directors or me.

~ Syd Curtis, President, CCC, Inc.
