PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE:

Hello Members and Friends:

Congratulations to all the class winners and participants from the August show, held at the Curtis ranch. We had another great turnout with wonderful weather, good cattle. We completed the second class of our Ranch Hand Class and look forward to the final class of the series at our September 19th show.

Thanks to a wonderful contribution by Tracy Taylor, the Youth class will be boasting fresh cattle for our final show. Tracy judged our August show and donated his check for judging back to the club to provide the cattle. In addition, Syd Curtis donated his jackpot earnings check back to the club for the same cause. The Youth class will still be the $25 Jackpot fee for the entry, but the youth will cut on fresh cattle. Thank you, Tracy and Syd!

Now is your chance to make a difference for your club. Board nominations are now being accepted for the 2005 CCC Board. A nomination form is included in this newsletter and will be available at the September show. Multiple slots on our Board will be open next year. Remember, this is your club and a chance for you to get active and participate with the club.

The Board is finalizing the dates and details for the CCC Awards Banquet and for the year-end awards. We are looking forward to a spectacular event, loaded with fun and surprises. We have had such a great year with our shows; we intend to end the year with a bang! Details for the Banquet will be released as soon as possible. Watch your mailbox for them!

Also, please watch for details on the Points Club Association show, to be held at Murieta Equine Complex, November 13 and 14.

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.
