Fall Banquet; Our 2 SSHBEA Sanctioned shows that are now part of the UAB show circuit; election of 2005 officers and e-mail addresses posted, and the Utah Horse Expo in March. Everyone was encouraged to get a copy and read the publicity our local club is getting nationally.

Treasurers Rpt. given by Janae Christiansen:
Current balance= $1,353.95
Financial committments= $60.00 to be paid to UAB / show= $240.00/ yr. for
the shared expenses of the DQP's.


Need to now purchase t-shirts for our 2005 members as they ordered for their 2005 membership fee.
The yr. end high point awards banquet in the fall usually takes care of itself financially.
Sources of income to the club will now be coming from the horse nominations.
Ron gave Janae ok to purchase t-shirts as ordered on the membership forms from each member.
New members:
Gordon Hershey, Vernal, Utah
Marsha McBride, Draper, Utah
New members approved by unanimous votes.

Rpt. on Horse Expo: Leslie Topham
Our SSHOW location next to the MSTWHBA booth was more convenient for
those working and taking turns at both booths.
Our Sat. time slot was eliminated by the scheduling persons of the Horse Council, and required Gaye Schmid to intervene.
Input needs to be given to the Horse Council on the following:
a) way to negotiate demonstration time
b) evaluate whether or not it will be productive for the time and effort it takes to get our horses ready to exhibit.
c) the press/ media was NOT allowed to enter to give proper news coverage without frist purchasing a PASS!!!!!!

Leslie and Nance will follow up with the Utah horse council with feedback on the above.

Discussion on our SSHOW web site: Ron listed this matter on the agenda. Nance will discuss with Vicki on creating a club newsletter link update the home page!!
