Entry: Hello Everybody! Sunday, February 01, 2004



In March, the AYA Board of Directors will be holding a meeting, and I will need your input on the issues we will be addressing.  Any new ideas are welcome.  Some of the issues we will be discussing is the possibility of the removal of the Girls and Boys Showmanship divisions at Youth Worlds, the addition of more Walk/Trot classes, and reallocation of classes to only two age divisions.  I support the deletion of Boys and Girls Showmanship and the addition of W/T classes in their place, and I think that we should keep three age divisions. 

One of the biggest issues we have is fundraising.  Funds for the AYA go to things like scholarships, essay and art contests, and jackets to every class winner at the Youth World show.  The funds for these come from fundraising like class sponsorships, donations, and the "You've Been Spotted" flower delivery at Youth Worlds.  If you have any new fundraising ideas or if you know anyone interested in sponsoring a class at Youth Worlds or making a donation,  let me know.  Please help me to seek out sponsorships and donations!

I really want to get more California Youth to participate in the national contests this year.  We have already discussed getting a group together for the team tournament competition, so let me know if you are interested in joining.  There are also art, essay, speech and photo contests.  See Appaloosa.com for more info. If you are interested, I have entry forms.  Here are the deadlines:
  • March 1: Regional Youth Club of the Year scrapbooks due
  • January 1- May 1: submit artwork and essays
  • May 1: Photo contest entries due
  • May 31: Team Tournament Entries due

I will be continuing to update.  Please leave me lots of feedback!
