President’s Report: Laura gave her thanks to the new Board members for signing up and the previous Board members - note I didn’t say old Board members ;-) – for their continuing dedication.

Sara Henson had followed up with Pat Langston and is charging $150 for her services. MSC L. LaMere/P. Bolin to pay upon receipt of invoice, which Laura will request. Also note that all MRVHA mail should be delivered to the post office box.
Treasurer’s Report: The bank is doing away with our business savings account. Suzi will take care of changing signatures. These minutes will be required.
We have $3,100.11 in checking. Several bills were settled during the meeting, including President’s awards and money due from High points. Several people have credits that they may use towards show bills. Membership checks still need to be deposited.
Suzi will check on insurance and post office box fees.
Fuzzy Show March 27th:
The contract is back from Steve Kelly. Has anyone been in touch with Bernice? Can someone pick her up?
Lisa will bring all MRVHA stuff to the show. We are short-handed in the office. Laura will see if Sherri Regner is available. Kara will bring computer to Fuzzy to train us. Lisa will work office and Bill will announce. Morgan will help in the office as well. Office supplies do not need to be purchased.
Lynn and Jake Jaroszewski will take care of food sales. Chili, hot dogs, chili dogs and chili cheese Fritos:
• Sherry – chili
• Pam – 48 hot dogs in crockpot; Fritos, cheese and buns
• Lisa – donuts
• Laura – cupcakes
Patti Bolin has show notices in Horse Trader, Horsemen’s News & Horse Talk.
Sherry Krig – Trail course
Patti and Bill Bolin will take premiums to Norco – Bill will check for back numbers there. Kaitlyn will distribute premiums in Hesperia.
A discussion of this year’s rules and high point classes took place, with suggestions from Patti for some additional classes that could be changed in the future since the premium has already been approved by Pinto.
7:30 p.m. At this point the acting (alternate) Secretary had to leave, wondering about the beautiful horse statue with clock. Apparently that may be some marvelous prize at, perhaps, the DCC. Stay tuned for the answer to that question.
Meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m.
