November 2011- Come join us

9. November 2011 by Bill & Marybeth.

Can you believe it is November already? This is my way of saying Thanks for your hard work, making this chapter something to be very proud of.  Fred and I enjoyed getting into the back country with you and having fun while working our Chapter activities. Let’s keep all of our positive momentum going and not forget to document our activities’ by turning in our Volunteer hours for 2011. Virtually everything counts, from Trail projects, Public Meeting attendance, Rides, other Chapter events, Calendar Sales, Administration/Planning to name a few. You can use the Calendar feature or the Old Volunteer Form on our website to report your hours. The drop down box gives more input on what is reportable.  So, please take a few minutes and do this, before the holidays get too close.  Janine will be happy to help too.

2011 is finally winding down, but still there is Energy and Enthusiasm within our Chapter.  For Example Dan is facilitating some Wilderness First Responder Training in December, Ellen is planning a fun Ride in November, and of the course there is the end of year Holiday celebration that Gail and crew are organizing.  Plus this week, I received three separate calls from future members who want to come join us, to Ride and Pack in the Back country and learn how to be Safer Horseman.  So, the word is out there that our Chapter continues to take it to the next level, by offering diverse activities such as Education clinics, Rides, Trail Clearing Projects, Pack ins, Fund raising events, High way clean up,  Fun and Friendship always,  and of course, great Eating.  Our Quality website is making a big difference and getting the attention of the public.  KUDOs to ALL of YOU!

As we wind down for the year, let’s build on the Learning’s, and make 2012 even better, and an outstanding year. Oh yeah, did you know The SBBCH chapter will celebrate a milestone anniversary in 2012? More details to follow on this, and who knows could be a Theme for us.  Elections are before us and all positions are open, except one. This is a great way to get involved, get to know folks and keep our chapter growing with all your Positive Input and Ideas.  Terry and crew would love to hear from you.
