PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE:

Hello -

The Board of Directors has decided not to have a show in October. We need a minimum of thirty days to assure delivery of our awards.

We do have a set show date of January 5, 2003, at Rancho Murieta in the covered arena.

I would like to thank you all for your support in 2002. It was exciting for me that we could jackpot our classes AND offer year-end awards, too. We hope to be able to continue this program in the future.

We are now working toward NCHA affiliation for the 2003 show season. If we can get all the paper work completed in time, anyone in the top ten of a class will be eligible for the Ogden Shoot Out next year.

There will be a brief member's meeting at the Awards Banquet next month, Saturday, November 16, 2002.

See you at the PCA Show!

Bernie Talbot

2003 SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM

The Clements Cutting Club offers a unique opportunity to our supporters for the 2003 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.
