This was on the USDF email that just went out today - thanks, in advance, for
taking this back to your GMO, business, or family, to consider how to contribute
to the auction.

Region 4 is having a Silent Auction at the USDF Convention in Kansas City!

This year, Region 4 is host to the USDF Convention & Symposium, November 29 -
December 3. In addition to the USDF business meetings, there are educational
sessions and of course the weekend Symposium with Ingrid Klimke. It's wonderful
to have an educational event of this caliber in our own neighborhood, and I hope
you can join us there!

Region 4, as the host, will have a booth at the convention & symposium. We will
be having a silent auction there to raise funds to support the Region 4
programs, with donations from GMOs and individuals. Please consider making a
donation to that silent auction. The money we raise will go to support great
programs here in Region 4, like the Adult Education Clinics, grants that support
educational programs in your local group, the juniors and young riders traveling
to the championships, and…..

It will take help from all of us in Region 4 to make our silent auction a
success. Perhaps you'd like to donate a breeding to your stallion, or a
training/lesson package. Please also consider giving items that are not horse
related. Do you have a time share you won't be able to use this year? That would
be a great addition to the silent auction. Perhaps your best friend does not
ride, but owns a computer store, and could donate a laptop. I'm sure you will
come up with many great ideas!

The Region 4 booth will have some room to display information about the
businesses and people that donate to the silent auction. For example, we could
play a short video or CD about your stallion or other donated product, or
display pictures of the condo for the time share. We want to recognize the great
things that come from Region 4, and this is a wonderful way to do that!

Joann Messersmith, from Dakota Dressage & Eventing, has offered to be the
coordinator of the silent auction items. You may contact her at
JoannM@... or (605) 336-1160. Updates on the silent auction will be
posted on the Region 4 Yahoo group,

Thank you, in advance, for your part in making the silent auction a success!
