PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE:

Well, as the 2003 show season winds down to the end, I find myself reflecting back to the seven shows we had, my accomplishment as an as individual, the accomplishments of the membership and participants and Clements Cutting Club as a whole. The CCC Board had to react rather quickly to locate another facility to hold the remainder of the show schedule at the McKay Ranch in Elk Grove. As nice as the new indoor arena was, the footing was not the most desirable as we were not allowed to bring in the much needed sand to provide the necessary conditions that we cutters demand.

The 2004 board of Directors are happy to announce the new show season will start out at the Murieta Equine Complex, January 4 and February 15th. After these two shows, we will continue the remainder of the schedule as listed at the Curtis Ranch in Wilton. Syd and James Milum are both excited and committed in assuring optimum conditions will be met as they are presently redoing both arenas, footing and a new watering system for dust control. With a little membership support and the diligence of the Curtis Ranch, it should be a win-win situation for our club.

Last, but not least, I would like to thank Bernie Talbot for his leadership in working with the 2003 Board for a successful show season and ending it with a great awards banquet and presentation held at Vince’s Italian Restorante in Elk Grove. I wish you all a happy and safe holiday and a Happy New Year!

See ya down the road.

2004 sponsorship program

The Clements Cutting Club offers a unique opportunity to our supporters for the 2004 season. For $250.00, we will provide the following advertising opportunities:

• We will make a 3' x 5' vinyl banner which will be displayed at each cutting on the inside arena walls.
• We will run your business card ad in each of our monthly newsletters.
• We will put your ad permanently on our web site.

In the past, our sponsors donated year-end awards. We changed our format beginning in 2001. Instead of year-end awards in all classes, we have been jack-potting all classes. The members have responded enthusiastically to this change. Our new advertising program reflects another change for the club. The Board of Directors believes it offers a much higher level of visibility for our advertisers.

Thank you for your support.
