LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT:

Hello, hope all is well.  It was good to see everyone at Woodburn.   The rodeo season is officially under way, the Pony Express and Rite ‘N Gear did a great job!  The board has decided this year to eliminate the saddle raffle due to the fact that we do not have a sponsor this year, instead the tickets you receive with your membership will go to either a dirt bike or the option of $400.  I will also be hauling the dirt bike with me this summer and selling raffle tickets at the rodeos, any help you would like to offer in selling tickets would be greatly appreciated.  Finals plans are under way, the dates will be September 8, 9, 10 in Osceola , IA.   Remember you must compete at 6 rodeos in that event to be eligible for the finals.  We still have the $100 sponsorship program this year, be sure to check it out in the newsletter.  Also the association will be putting together another program book for the finals, so if you know of anyone wanting to place an ad, be sure to fill out the form.  If you have any questions pertaining to your event be sure to talk to your director.  Hope to see you all down the road.

Michelle Waldhauser
