Treasurer’s Report by Treasurer Pearl Lund.  See report attached.  Two missing statements need to be replaced and Pearl will handle that with the bank.  It was also suggested that we sign up for online banking.  It would be read only no actual banking can be done.

There was no report on the South Central District Advisory Council due to no meeting.

Old Business:

The Game Show was a success.  No complaints and everyone seemed to have a good time.  We would like to thank Mindy Carriker’s dad for dragging the arena!  

The presentation by Dr. Michelle Gardner on Equine Vaccinations was very informative and well received by the audience.  Next year we need to have it earlier in August.

The Jumping Clinic will be held on Saturday, September 6, 2014 at Ellis Park beginning at 9 am.  The deadline to enter is September 1st by 4 pm.  All contact info should go to Judi Ziegelhofer at Judiemouse@aol.com.   We need four riders to hold the clinic.  Clinician is Amy Henderson of the Manes & Tails 4-H Club in Cleveland.

We have a Games Clinic penciled in on the calendar for October 4th.  Juliah will contact Mindy and Brandy to see if they would like to run the clinic.

The ticket request deadline for the Clinton Anderson Clinic, October 11 & 12 in Williamston, NC is September 15th.  After that deadline, we will open the tickets up to other horse organizations and 4-H in other counties.  Forms can be downloaded from Facebook or the R.A.C.E. blog.  Forms must be turned in to Sara Drake at the 4-H Office.

The timer worked out really well!

New Business:

The Saddle Up for St. Jude Trail Ride will be held Sunday, November 2, 2014 at TTC in Mocksville.  Sign up will begin at 11 am and rides will go out beginning at 1pm.  Rides will be very laid back and mostly walking.  A committee will need to go up to TTC and mark the trails with TTC Staff.  Food will be available by TTC but will not be free.  Also, ALL riders MUST wear a helmet while mounted on TTC property.

All members who would like points toward the Year End Awards for the Horse Project Record will be required to hand in their books to Sara Drake by November 14th for inspection.  Books do not have to be completed at this time, but must show considerable progress.  Books will be returned at the R.A.C.E. 4-H Year End Award Dinner in December.

The 2015 slate of R.A.C.E. 4-H Officers will be elected at the October 23rd meeting.  If you would like to run for office and would like to know what each office of R.A.C.E. entails, please feel free to contact any of our officers or Sara Drake to ask questions!  Officers will be elected in October and will take office in January 2015.  Anyone who intends to run should make themselves familiar with the R.A.C.E. 4-H By-Laws.

Our October Horse Show is right around the corner.  We need volunteers to run the coggins check in, gates, ring crew, concessions, etc.  Our judge is Roger Moore from Statesville and our trail judge is Jim Mckee.  It was suggested by Pearl Lund that we need a new stove and oven for the kitchen at Ellis.  If anyone knows of a stove in good condition please let Pearl know.

Our 2014 R.A.C.E. 4-H Year End Awards Dinner will be held on Friday, December 5, 2014 at 6:30 pm at the 4-H Office.  R.A.C.E. will provide the meat, beverages and paper products and

every one is asked to bring a side dish.  A motion was made by Pearl Lund and seconded by Joey Bullock to have the cake made by Sherry Gobble once again.  Motion passed.  Trophies will be given to the High Point and High point Reserve member in the Junior, Senior and Non-Rider categories.  All Cloverbuds will receive $5.00 gift cards to Tractor Supply.  We will also give special awards to a member in each horse club that has shown the best spirit and sportsmanship this year.  Each club will chose who the award is to go to.  Deadline for each club’s recipient is November 1st.  This deadline is FIRM as the trophies for the Sportsmanship Awards have the member’s name on them and must be ordered.  A motion was made by Joey Bullock and seconded by Amy Henderson to purchase all awards needed for the dinner.  Motion was passed.

Stacey Carter is organizing a ride through Salisbury as part of the Horses & Heroes Program.  Spectators will vote for the horse they feel is best and awards will be given.  More information is available on our Facebook page.

Next meeting:  October 23, 2014  7 pm
