Hi, Linda,

Thank you for sending your suggestions to GMO Presidents and
contacts regarding

(1) supporting the junior and young riders who competed for Region 4
recently in Virgina,
(2) a Silent Auction at the USDF Annual Meeting to benefit Region 4,
and
(3) funds needed for Region 4 to host a premier reception (hopefully
attended by Ingrid Klimpke herself) at the Annual meeting.

Dakota Dressage & Eventing had a meeting Saturday and will be
sending Region 4 $100 to contribute to the junior and young riders
who competed on our behalf. For the Silent Auction we will also
donate (minimally) one breeding to a (high bidder's choice of)
stallion in our member stallion program (and we are searching for
other Silent Auction items, too!). And we challenge all the GMOs in
the region to contribute $1/member for the special Region 4
reception. For that our Treasurer, Joann Messersmith, will send you
a check for $105 from our GMO.

Cheers,

Sarah Patrick
Dakota Dressage & Eventing
