SSA for 2010
After much discussion, debate, and soul searching at our September meeting, the members present decided to suspend our Benefit Stallion Service Auction & Futurity at this time. We have had ten very good and successful years, a whole decade of horse folks helping people in need, but in light of the present economy and horse population situation, the program “will be put on the back burner”. When the horse industry and economy improve, we can review the situation again. DCHA will have a Weanling Futurity Class at our show in August 2010 for the babies from this year’s auction, and will still run our Open Stakes classes at the show. The Tack Swap will still be held on February 7th 2010 at the Juneau Community Center, with our “Famous Breakfast” and we will still have a Silent Auction Fundraiser and select a Beneficiary for the proceeds. We may even expand the Auction, with the help and generous donations from the Horse Community. Stallion owners may still promote their Stallion by donating a service, mare care, or some other arrangement to their liking. Trainers, or anyone in the “Horse Service” industry, you too could donate services, products, time, etc. to our Auction. Anyone and everyone is encouraged to donate, or come and be a bidder! We will try to promote donors as much as and anywhere we can. DCHA would like to thank all of the Stallion Service donors, some of whom have been with us for all ten years, without your generosity this great Benefit would never have been possible. Mare owners who bought services also get a big round of applause. The Wisconsin State Horse Council was also a major supporter of the Benefit SSA by granting us sponsorships to use for expenses and part of the paybacks. And who could forget Colonel Bob Wedel, who always kept his Auction calendar open for us every first Sunday in February. Bob always kept the Auction fun and interesting! And finally, to all the volunteers who “made it work”, especially Diane Sackett, Kevin & Jenny Juliuson (SSA) and Jan Pieper (Tack swap) who have been involved from the very beginning. Thanks to all! See you next February !
Sincerely,
Lori Helmer
