| A Note from Our PtHA of Il President
Michelle Kilcullen
Show season is moving right along. We had a great turn out at our Youth sponsored open show, and now we're getting ready to end our PtHA of IL show season with our six-judge show in Sterling. Remember, if you pre-enter you only have to pay to show under five judges.
We had to reschedule our July 11th meeting and trail ride at the Pompei Ranch in Bristol, WI due to scheduling conflicts. Please watch for the rescheduled date on our websites and in the newsletter. The rescheduled event will be a (hopefully) big trail ride to show Mr. Pompei how much we appreciate him letting us come ride at his ranch. Bring your friends!
Please check out the website for a proposed change to our bylaws changing our minimum required meetings from six annually to two. We will vote on this change at our August meeting.
Please remember to get your nominations for soon to be vacant offices in to Jocelyn English. Up for election at our November meeting will be President, Treasurer, and two board positions. Our club stays strong thanks to the tireless efforts of our VOLUNTEER Officers and Board Members. Please remember that in order to keep the charter strong and progressive we need new volunteers stepping up to donate their time and skills to benefit the club. Please consider running for office. A list of open positions and those nominated for them can be viewed on our website.

A Little 'Bit' of
Information from the Royalty
Michelle Kilcullen
We're all very proud of our Queen, Paige Heinke, for her first rate representation of our charter at the World show. Paige won Miss Equitation, ended up 10th overall out of near 70 in showmanship, and won the rubber animal toss. On top of those placings, she showed the rest of the country just what kind of fierce competition and friendly faces they can expect at our Illinois Pinto shows. We're very proud of you Paige; and thank you for all the time and money you put into running as Queen. Please continue to check out our websites for information on our Mary Kay and Tupperware fundraisers for our Royalty. Though Worlds is over, Paige and her family paid quite a bit out of their pocket that we'd love to reimburse them and we also need to ensure sufficient funds for future Royalty. Again...YEAH PAIGE!!

Congratulations Mark Killick
No he isn't wanted by the FBI! Instead, Mark has just celebrated his one year anniversary on becoming an American Citizen. Mark is a PtHA of IL Board member.
