3 President s PERSPECTIVE By Molly Fine This month s Scribe includes results and photos from the Summer Dressage Shows. Congratulations to all Summer Kickoff and Summer Dressage show participants and winners! It was a great show, and many were very successful in their scores and class placings. I want to thank all of you who sponsored classes at the show. Your sponsorship dollars allowed us to provide benefits to competitors and volunteers. I also want to thank our judges and officials, the vendors who attended to show and, of course, our volunteers. Without all of you, we would not have had such a successful show. I know it has been awhile since the show, but we cannot thank you enough! I think we are finally ready with the survey I discussed in previous months. We really need your input. Please complete it when you get it. It will give us some idea of what you would like to see the club do for its members. We want your input to be sure we are bringing in the right people at the right price point for your training and pocketbook. Another way to be heard is to join the Eventing or Dressage Committees. Your input will be welcomed and it will help us direct the club. Alison Volpentesta is the VP of Eventing and can be reached at barlink6@gmail.com. Fatima Kranz is the VP of Dressage and can be reached at fpk2009@yahoo.com. They would love to have you participate. Don t forget to gather your scores for year-end awards. Remember that membership is required to receive your awards; if you have not renewed your membership, please do so soon. The best to you in this riding year, and Happy Riding! As I am reminded each day by a picture in my kitchen, If you are lucky enough to ride a horse then you are lucky enough. Editor s Note In the August issue of the Scribe, Beth Gagliardi s name was misspelled in the byline of her article about the Lilo Fore clinic which she participated in as a recipient of an Educational Grant. The Scribe regrets this error. ~ Mary Jo Downen, Scribe Editor BOARD MEMBERS Linda Bland gus12gizmo@aol.com Brittany Burson b.burson@sbcglobal.net Cecelia Conway ceceliaconway2@gmail.com Caroline Farrell caroline@bc2a.com Nikki Jewell nikkijewell@aol.com Emma Kane emma.kane04@gmail.com Heather McCarthy heathercmccarthy@gmail.com Cindy Lambert cindylambert706@gmail.com Katie Miskovic alliyes77@aol.com Andi Patzwald dressageinmotion@outlook.com Sarah Stone donny3638@yahoo.co EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBERS President: Molly Fine mollymfine@gmail.com VP Dressage: Fatima Kranz fpk2009@yahoo.com VP Eventing: Alison Volpentesta barlink6@gmail.com Treasurer: Michael Coghlan mcoghlan@catwalkconsulting.com Secretary: Amy Grahn amy.grahn@comcast.net COMMITTEES Cecelia Conway - Schooling Show Series ceceliaconway2@gmail.com Katie Miskovic Grant Program alliyes77@aol.com Alison Volpentesta Eventing Committee barlink6@gmail.com Fatima Kranz - Dressage Committee fpk2009@yahoo.com MEMBERSHIP CHAIRMAN Lil Kane For questions and/or changes: theflyingkanes3@aol.com September 2018 Page 3

20 Grant Program The Board of Directors has updated our Grant Program for our membership. We are very excited about this program and hope that more members begin sending in applications for upcoming clinics, whether, USEA, USDF or USEF sanctioned. As always, the funds must be used for tuition only. members can qualify every year. To qualify for a grant, clinics must be with trainers farther than 100 miles from the Chicagoland area. The clinics must be produced by, USEA, USDF, USEF or must be an approved clinic. In return, asks that the recipient of the grant write a detailed article about the clinic for the next issue of the Scribe. The article should be a minimum of one typed page and may include photographs (please provide photographer credit). Other qualifications are as follows: An applicant must be a member in good standing of for a minimum of six months at the time the clinic is to be held. An application and copy of the clinic entry must be submitted a minimum of 60 days prior to the opening date of the clinic. This will allow the Board of Directors enough time to review and vote on the applicant's request at the next board meeting. One grant per clinic may be awarded. Not every qualified clinic will be awarded a grant. The two main factors that will be considered when awarding grants are the following: volunteer hours totaling a minimum of 5 in the past calendar year and each applicant s past riding experience without regard for number of shows entered or success in the show ring. The amount funded by per clinic is $200 $400, or the cost of the clinic tuition, whichever is less, and will be voted on by the board. The grant funds may only be used for the clinic the applicant anticipates participating in as a rider, and not an auditor. Funds may not be used for stabling, hauling or other associated expenses, other than the cost of the clinic tuition. Grant funding may vary each year depending on the amount available and number of qualified applicants, and will be awarded on a first come, first served basis. Funds not used in a given year will be rolled over to the next year. In cases where the grant recipient does not participate in the requested clinic or an article is not submitted within a month of participating in the clinic, the funds granted will not be sent out and will be reallocated back. This will allow the money to be used for another applicant. All grant applicants will be notified of the decision by phone or after the board has voted. Checks will be mailed to the applicant only after the Scribe article has been received. September 2018 Page 20
