Youth Association Update:
At the recent KyQHA Sturgis horse show the youth members collected $27 to donate to the McCardle Family.
They also held a silent auction fundraiser that made $329 but, after the generous donations of those in attendance they raised $334. They also held a coffee and hot chocolate fundraiser which made nearly $15.35. Thank you to Paula Jerrell for all of her hard work helping to coordinate these fundraisers, to all the parents and youth members that donated and participated in hosting the event and to all those members that purchased items in the auction. Your continued support of the KyQHA youth members is invaluable.
YES Seminar & Convention
The current estimated costs to attend the YES conference with airfare and hotel is running near $850.00 per person. I do know this is a very expensive conference. However, if you are interested in attending and are hoping to find some sponsorships please let me know for sure by Friday April 27, 2012 that way we can get your registration completed with no late fees and we can attempt to secure you some financial support through maybe your community or a fundraiser!
Please be sure to check out what our youth members are doing by accessing our two most recent monthly meeting minutes. March 10, 2012 Meeting- Lexington, KY and April 13, 2012 Meeting- Sturgis, KY
Please be on the lookout for more information regarding the May youth meeting to be held in conjunction with the KyQHA Liberty Horse Show.
Thank you again!
