Letter from the President

Dear Member:

On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you for your support and continuing participation. We are truly grateful for you membership, without which we wouldn’t have an organization.

Your membership enabled us to accomplish so much in 2009! GDCTA hosted

the USDF “L” Program
two USEF/USDF horse shows and one schooling show
multiple eventing clinics

GDCTA is planning for another busy year! In 2010, we will be

wrapping up the L program—hopefully, resulting in 10 new “L” graduates!
hosting a life enhancement seminar with Gil Merrick (see February calendar for details)
hosting the 2010 Great American Insurance Group/USDF Region 3 Championships October 15-17 (we’ll be asking for many volunteers for this one!)

Although we thrive on volunteer support, renewals are vital to our success! By remaining a member, we will be able to accomplish the many events planned for the year.

If you renew your membership before March 31, you will be listed in the Membership Directory and can use your two free business listings in that Directory.

Remember that by joining GDCTA, you are also joining USDF. So, joining GDCTA is BOGO—buy 1 get 1 free!

Please join us in making our area a better place to enjoy our horses! Renew your membership today!

Sincerely,

Rick Cohn
GDCTA President
