Meeting: TUESDAY
January 15, 2008 7:30 PM Greetings of the Season Everyone! Coming to the close of 2007 and spearheading into 2008! Already! We had a great turnout for the Moonlight Ride...29 riders! Thanks to Barb and her committee we had a fun hot dog roast back at my place. Always a club favorite, we are planning another moonlight ride for the spring. Thirty two riders from our club and the Glendale Equestrian Club headed out from Spur Cross to the 6L Ranch on Saturday, November 24th. The Wild West Poker Ride was a disappointment; only five riders showed up. As the Cave Creek Saddle Club, I hope that next year more riders come out to support this town function. With many new riders joining our ranks, please review the Rules of Etiquette included in the newsletter and found on the website. Have a Safe and Happy Holiday Season! Susan Link to Club Rules of Etiquette Message from Barb Ciocchetti, Event Coordinator May we please have everyone’s cooperation regarding RSVP’s? If you can’t make an event, please call & cancel. Remember that food is purchased according to the number of people expected to attend. And if we have a caterer, the club is responsible for payment of each reservation. Your cooperation will be much appreciated. Thanks, Barb
