ARABIAN HORSE ASSOCIATION REGION I DIRECTOR S MESSAGE Because our newsletter is coming out before my first Board of Director s Meeting in March, high lights of the meeting will be presented at the March 17, 2018 Delegates Meeting. Now that is St. Paddy s Day, so I expect to see a sea of green at the tables. I have checked with Penny Wardlaw, who filled in for Georgia Tachoires, as chair of the Membership Committee at convention. There was nothing that needs to come to the board, so I am going to make the assumption that there was nothing that needed to come to the delegates, with the exception of the price increase of the basic membership fee in April of this year. As of April 1, 2018 the basic membership fee will be $50.00. I am starting to staff the Regional show and am always looking for volunteers to help with gates, ribbons and various and assorted jobs at the Regional Show, which will be held from May 16-20, 2018 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. If you are inclined to help YOUR region put on a good show please let me know when you are available to help and I will find a spot for you. March 2018 IN THIS ISSUE: Directors Message Region I Directory Info Minutes Future Meeting Dates: March 17, 2018 For those of you that went to Scottsdale, I hope that you all had really good shows, and that you also took some time to have fun and just enjoy your horses and the ambience of the Scottsdale Show.
