July 4th Parade in Middleburg

LARA's parade unit made a great showing in the Middleburg July 4th parade. We had riders of all ages who proudly wore the red-white-and-blue. Carol Wells did a great job of organizing the parade and made the patriotic neck straps that the horses wore. Click here to see pictures from the parade!

July Membership Drive at Tractor Supply

July 4th weekend we had a membership drive at Tractor supply in Orange Park. Lisa and Traci set up a booth and shared info with Tractor Supply shoppers. We gained some membership and gave out lots of info about our club! click here to see pictures!

The following weekend the booth was set up at Tractor Supply in Starke. In addition to giving out information and free horse cookies, we sold hot dogs, drinks and chips and earned a little income for the club. Again, we met some new friends and generated alot of interest in our ever-expanding club. If you have any ideas for future membership drives, please bring it up at a meeting so we can make plans!

Proceed with Caution

Paula and Frank were in a head on collision recently. Luckily they had dropped off their horses and only had an empty trailer, so things could have been much worse. We wish them a speedy recovery from the bumps, bruises and sore muscles.

We never know how others will drive or what they are doing while driving... PLEASE use extreme caution on our crazy roads, especially over the July 4th holiday weekend!

Officers Elected

The overwhelming majority elected our officers for the new year. Lisa will continue to hold the position of president/treasurer, Traci is our vice president, Paula is secretary, Nancy is the publicity director and Rachel is the fund raising coordinator. There are still some vacant spots that can be filled if anyone wants to step up and help make things happen!

We have lots of exciting events planned for the new year and encourage participation from all. Invite your friends and neighbors and get involved! We need your support!
