PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE:

Hello Members and Friends:

Our February show has come and gone and by the comments from the participants, it was another successful event, with 208 entries, it took us late into the night. Thanks to all for staying and helping until the final buzzer. Thank you, Mike Warman, for a great job (as always) and enduring such a long day. Thank you, Russ Elrod and Larry Trocha, for relieving Mike for a couple of classes.

In my last message, I failed to acknowledge Marsha Everett for her outstanding job at announcing and her ability to keep the show rolling along. THANK YOU Marsha!!

Our club is building momentum, not only in numbers, but also in the quality of the shows. Your Board of Directors commitment is to improve on each and every show with the help of membership input and participation. Any and all help on the weekends of the shows will be greatly needed and appreciated.

Progress on the Curtis Ranch is coming along nicely. A revamped cutting arena, fenced in loping area, new holding pens, newly planted grass with hitching rails around our snack area are just a few of the improvements Syd and Sarah are making to better meet the needs of our cutting club. Let us show our appreciation with another great turnout. Our next show will be April 18, 2004 at the Curtis Ranch.

See you down the road!

Peter Jacoway

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 on our web site.

Newsletter Ad Cost (Ad runs entire season)

• Business Card - $10
• ¼ Page Ad - $25
• ½ Page Ad - $40
• Full Page Ad - $65

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.
