VICE PRESIDENT'S
MESSAGE
Hello Barrel Racers! I know this is our busy time so I will keep this short
and sweet. Organizations like the BCBRA survive on the commitment of the
membership. We need your commitment to continue. Finals are right around
the corner and I know this has been a tough year for everyone, but the
organization really needs everyone‘s commitment to make them a success. We
consistently hear from other organizations that we have great Finals, so
let’s keep it that way. Please try to bring in a sponsor; we still need
blanket Sponsors and Saddle Sponsors. This is how the organizations
survives, if we have to buy prizes, there is less money for added money and
I know that no one wants to see that happen. Now on to the next commitment
I am asking from you, time. We cannot have an organization without a board
of directors. Believe it or not this is a great board and wonderful women
to work with, many who have made it possible for us Barrel Racers to do what
we love; well now it is their turn to be able to go race and relax and enjoy
the moment. This year a number of directors are taking some well deserved
time for themselves and it is up to the rest of us to step up to the plate
and commit to this organization.
Vice President

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
TICKET RAFFLE - LAS VEGAS & NFR
We are giving away a trip for two to Las Vegas, 4 days/3 nights. Flying out
of Vancouver on Dec. 07 and returning on Dec. 10, this trip comes with
accommodations to Treasure Island Hotel and tickets for one performance to
the NFR on Dec. 08, 2009. This is a huge fundraiser for the association and
we need everyone on board to make it a success. Our incentive this year is
"sell $500.00 worth of tickets and get your $50.00 sponsorship fee to the
finals waived". Tickets are only $5.00 each and come with ten tickets in a
book. You do not have to pre-purchase a book of tickets. Tickets are sent to
you via mail and you sell what you can ... then you return the tickets and
money by July 24th.
Members can get tickets from their regional directors or contact Lindsay
Bartko at
abartko@telus.net or 250-833-4563.
Hello Barrel Racers,
Wow it is actually starting to feel like Spring out there, my apologies to
those northerners who had snow this week. Once again the BCBRA is
dedicating Saturday’s race to the Run for The Cure. I am working prizes and
fundraising ideas, and always appreciate input so feel free to contact me.
There are runs in several different town around BC so you can sign up and
participate in your local run under the BCBRA name. Last year’s run was
amazing and a wonderful experience for my family, it really brought home to
my children what we have been talking about.
Please join us in creating a future without Breast Cancer. Donations can be
made online at
www.cbcf.org in the name of the BCBRA Team or sent in with your Finals
entries on a separate Cheque made out to Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation
and I will submit them with the money raised at the Finals.
Thank you to everyone who donated and helped out last year.
Sherry Lute

Since Rodeo
Connection is fairly new to BC, let’s help spread the word and talk to your
local tack and feed stores about carrying their newspaper. They are easy to
contact either by phone 403-507-4148, or by visiting their website at
www.rodeoconnection.com . I’m sure either Shannon or Robin would be glad
to hear from new stores.
