Members
Congratulations to everyone who participated in Riding for the Cure! What a huge success for our first year putting together such an event! I’m so touched by the generosity of the equestrian community and community in general. To witness such an outpouring of support was truly inspiring. With the help and commitment of everyone who participated we were able to raise approximately $16,000 for cancer charities (Kids Cancers, Ocular Cancer, Cervical Cancer and the Canadian Cancer Society). Check out our website for pictures. A huge thanks to Lila, Caroline, Judy and all our volunteers that day. Without you we would not have been able to do it!

Housekeeping
A reminder to all members to sweep and
clean their spots before and after they ride.
A reminder to all members to put all
pop cans, freezie wrappers, hot chocolate/coffee cups and water
bottles in the garbage.
A reminder to all members to clean all
school tack well after each and every ride!
Tack is expensive – please take good care of it.
If you have not already, all members need to give post-dated checks for their monthly memberships – including boarders. Extras will be billed separately. This is for your convenience and makes it easier for monthly bookkeeping.
If you are a week-day member and miss one of your lessons please contact Lila asap to rebook that lesson. All missed lessons must be made up in the same month. If you are a full member and you miss a lesson, contact Lila and she will find another lesson spot for you in the same week or the next week.
To all boarders – please take home any blankets on your hooks that are not needed throughout the fall and winter.
To all boarders – please keep the boarders tack room clean and tidy and make sure your locker is shut at night and all your stuff is put away each and every time you ride.
New waivers will be placed in everyone’s mailbox for you to fill out and return by Nov.1st, 2010. I need these for my insurance. Please put them in my box.
Show Team
Congratulations to all Bronze, Silver and Gold show team members! What a fun and successful 2010 show season we have had. Everyone showed excellent team spirit and sportsmanship. I am very proud of all of you. You have represented Pinecrest well and you should all be happy with your results! A special thank you goes out to Melanie Goldberg and Sheila Lund who helped out enormously by looking after the entries, passports and all the last minute changes. I am grateful for your help and your patience.
Going forward into our fall season I hope that members will recognize, participate and take pride in our Pinecrest Pay it Forward programs. These programs are very important to me personally and to the community. Over the year we have paid it forward to many different organizations. Kindness is a gift anyone can give. Together we can make a difference!
Welcome Kelly Campeau! Kelly has joined our Pinecrest Team and will be a great asset. She will be assisting Tara with the daily care and upkeep of the horses and the facility.
Welcome Caroline Hollingworth! Caroline will be assisting with club activities, programs and Pinecrest Pay it Forward events. If you would like to volunteer, sponsor or participate in any of our upcoming events please email her at hollingworthc@gmail.com.
In conclusion, I just want to say how much I enjoy and value each and every member at Pinecrest . If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions please feel free to contact me anytime.
Sincerely
Marli
