PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE:

Hello, and welcome to the end of the season. I hope you all had as much fun as I did this year. We have one more weekend of fun…November 8th and 9th at the PCA show, and November 8th in the evening at our annual Awards Banquet. Be sure to calendar these events!

I would also like to thank all of our board members for their help and support for the last three years. Next year we welcome Mike Bakey, James Milum, Debbie McGregor, Kerry Feather, Renee Gates, Joey Kinser and Larry Helgeson as new Board members. Pete Jacoway is our new President, David Brooks is the Vice President, Jeanne Lucas is the Show Secretary until a replacement is found, Jeannette Brooks is the Treasurer, and the Secretary position has not been filled as of this date.

I would like to take this opportunity to tell everyone about Big D’s contribution to the year-end awards program. Glen Drake has been an avid supporter of the horse industry, particularly cutting and reined cow horses, for over 35 years. His business “Big D” produces premier horse supplies that we all are aware of, but what we need to think about is how much he as done for cutting on the West coast. He has graciously supplied our Top Five awards this year at a very reasonable basis. He is an enthusiastic cutter; and we hope to see his daughter, Devlyn, at some club shows next year. His wife, Debbie, will be undoubtedly be there as always to support them; and we should take the opportunity to thank them personally for their contribution.

Hope to see you at the banquet,

Bernie Talbot

ON THE MOVE!

Our good friend, RG Hill, has sold his ranch and has moved down South to Phelan, California. We will miss RG and Bernie very much and hope that they are well and enjoying their new location. They are in the process of building a new home on the 11 acres they have purchased. RG’s horses are being kept at his son’s place. Bernie is getting ready for hip surgery, so things are very busy for the Hill family. If you would like to drop them a line, their address is:

R.G. and Bernie Hill, P.O. Box 292939, Phelan, CA 92329-2939.

You can also email them: rhill@ezcnx.com

On Tuesday, Oct. 14th, Luke Bakey underwent back surgery. He is now home and doing well. The CCC wishes him a speedy recovery and hope he is back on his feet soon.

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.
