New Business:

1. Jerry Scribner discussed how to be a Western States Trail Foundation benefactor and have your name or an
advertisement for your business in the Tevis Forum. He had donation forms available to club members.

2. Joe Larkin was asked by Deb Wilson if our club would like to have a horse Chiropractor demonstration at one
of our meetings. We agreed to ponder this possibility.

The meeting was then turned over to Doyle and Pam Bailie ride managers for Gold Country ride. They gave a very
complete presentation of the plans. The trail route is still a work in progress. They have the head volunteers in place, the
permits granted , and everything is moving ahead for our ride, July 10, 2010. We can always use volunteers, so if any
members are not already working or know anyone who would like to help please notify the Bailie's. This is our big fundraiser
for the year so all your help is needed and appreciated.
