WCAR NEWSLETTER
May 18, 2006

Hello WCAR Members & friends -

We have quite a bit of exciting news to report!

Congratulations are certainly in order and we have so many fabulous people to thank for their hard work and financial contributions and donations – the 1st Annual WCAR Cook & Auction and Super Saturday Membership Bake Drive & Silent Auction were a tremendous success! More on that & our WCAR European Tour & Team in later emails.

Let’s talk about SPRUCE:

From 2006 Spruce Program Organizer Tammy Chipko:

A special round of applause for all WCAR members who applied and tried for a spot on one of the Spruce teams (me included!). It was a close race all the way to the finish. Congratulations & Good luck to everyone competing at Spruce Meadows (and in Europe) this year! GO WCAR!

ASAP: Please note that anyone unable to compete at Spruce Meadows on the Prix de Nations teams must let me know NOW. We need to give alternate riders as much advance notice as possible.

5/22/06: The Buie’s have been gracious enough to donate their facility to all WCAR members on June 4th for a natural schooling session. We highly recommended this awesome opportunity for all Spruce Team members! Please RSVP no later than Monday, May 22nd to tchipko@aol.com

6/4/06: Natural Schooling Session @ Fairbanks Valley Ranch (Buie’s). Time schedule and directions will follow after we have an accurate number of riders/horses attending. Please include the level of each rider/horse combination.

6/23/06: Prix de Nations Teams party at Spruce – Thursday before Prix de Nations class
Time: 6:30 pm
Location: Earls Restaurant
