Dear BVD Members and Friends,

 

Please Join us for our  FIRST MEETING of the year, February 11, 6:30 pm at my house, 2394 Rose Ct., Louisville, 80027 MAP.   This will be a great opportunity to plan for the year ahead, so if you are interested in getting more involved, come and join us.  No RSVP required! 

 

Along with our two shows, we'll be developing ideas for additional educational activities, looking for volunteers to help with various committees and generally brain-storming about how Boulder Valley Dressage can best serve its members.   These meetings are not just for board members, so don't be shy about showing up -- we'd love to have your input!

 

In the meantime, for information about Boulder Valley Dressage and suggestions about how to become more involved, check out our new website at www.bouldervalleydressage.org.

 

And if you have any questions, concerns, ideas or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me at sarahvbarnes@yahoo.com.   I'm looking forward to serving as your president for the next two years.  Have a great ride!

 

Sarah Barnes, 
President, Boulder Valley Dressage
