Dear ODS Members,

The Junior Young Rider show is close and we need to get the operational side of things together.  I am acting as volunteer coordinator.  As you can imagine, I need to put together a practical list of volunteer times.

We are operating 3 arenas this year.  That means, in any given shift, we’ll need 3 scribes, 3 ring stewards/gate people, 3 warm up arena gate people, 3 runners and at least 2-4 people scoring in the office.

THAT’S 16 VOLUNTEERS EVERY SHIFT!!!!!!!!!

Of course, at JYR, competitors are required to lend a hand, and that’s a big help.  But, obviously, we still need you…or the show won’t run.

Please volunteer early and often (if it sounds like I’m begging…well…I am).  Respond to me at horsehaven@earthlink.net and let me know what you can do and when.  Remember, it’s the volunteers that make the show possible.

We are thrilled to be able to use the DevonWood facility this year.  It’s a real treat just to visit the place, much less show there, and we want to be sure we make a good impression.  So, STEP UP, VOLUNTEER, SHOW YOUR ENTHUSIASM…and bail me out of trouble!!!!

Thanking you in advance,

Roger Pike
