Words from the President:

Michelle Waldhauser

From the secretary:

Keep the membership forms coming in.  We are at 267 members this year and we would love to see that surpass 300.  Membership forms are available from me by calling 641-445-6122 or by going to the website.  Cards may still be purchased up until August 1.  You must compete in at least 6 IRCA rodeos to be eligible for the finals. 

Rule books have been printed, see Michelle for one or talk to your event director.  

Please remember that when you submit your applications to me I try to get your card out to you within 3 days.  If you do not have your card and you are getting ready to go to a rodeo please call me and I’ll try my best to get it to you.  In order for your points from a rodeo to count you must have your card bought before you compete.  If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call.  

Until next time,

Mindy Hamilton

IRCA Secretary

Proposed Rule Change for General Membership Meeting

*Rule changes for the general membership meeting must be submitted in writing at least 60 days prior.

Rough Stock events that are approved by the IRCA will count for year end standings at the finals, but to be excluded from the All-Around points.  Contestant must still participate in 6 IRCA rodeos to be eligible for the finals and year-end awards and can not count the rough stock event as one.  The rough stock event must have bareback, saddle bronc, and bulls.  No TIMED EVENTS, rough stock only.

At the board meeting on June 18 in Adel, the board approved this on a trial basis for this year, for the rough stock events already approved by the IRCA.  The rough stock events will only count for year end standings, not all around.  Any event will have to be board approved.
