President's Message October 2008
 HowdyGreetings from the top of the rocky mountains. I hope the weather and the beautiful fall colors have been as nice for you all as it has been here. Aside from a couple of very cold nights (temps in the mid teens) way too cold for this time of year, the mountains and rides have been fantastic. Sorry for all of you who missed the annual meeting. The rides were beautiful, the company absolutely terrific. The entertainment was great and the food wasn't too bad even if I do say so myself. The clinic fell through and I had a flat tire on my trailer but aside from that and Mel and Mary getting lost for a little while everything was great. A special thanks to Stan and Janet Hunter for their help with moving horses and help with the flat. All and all it was a great weekend for me. I really do enjoy getting together with such great people and the love we all share for the gaited morgan. The get togethers which started before the club was even organized, in Bozeman, Montana have all been wonderful experiences and getting to know many of you from all over the country have been cherished memories for me. I would like to thank each one of you that I have met over the years and only wish that you could all make it to every event. I know that is impossible but I really do appreciate your friendships and acquaintances. I value your input and suggestions, but most of all your friendship. It has been a pleasure to serve you in this club. First as an advisor, then as v.p. then the last 3 yrs as your president. As most of you know the change in the by-laws require that we elect a new president next year which will conclude my second consecutive term. Nominations will begin the first part of next year, so I encourage all to start thinking now about who would be good to lead this great club for the next while. I know there are many experienced and qualified and I will of course give my full hearted time and support to whoever the club chooses. Change is good and will bring fresh ideas and a new entheausiam and commitment. That is why I proposed the change in the bylaws. Which by the way we intend to update on the website very soon. For those who don't know the officers and advisors have a monthly conf call and we are trying to post the minutes on website so all members can see what is being discussed and can give input and suggestions. One item discussed recently is the need to get information on horse inquiries that may come into the website out to those interested parties who may have horses for sale. We don't get many but occasionally they do come and so it was decided that when an inquiry comes into the website our secretary, Janet will send it out via our enews. That way all who get the enews will know of the inquiry. If you have not received any of these enews and would like to then please notify Janet of your email address so it can be posted correctly. We have discovered one or two already who have not received them due to wrong or old email addresses. If you don't want these enews letters you can unsubscribe. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Heidi Sutton who is our web mistress and general technical guru. Your great Heidi and a real asset to our club. Also thanks to the other officers and advisors and newsletter editor. I cannot say enough about these great members and what they do to help this club. And finally thanks to each one of you. Without you there would be no msfha. Just the great gaited morgan without a voice. It may be a little early but just in case its my last chance this year, I hope you all have a very merry Christmas and wonderful new year full of gaited morgans wonderful memories. Speedy Trails Ken Thomas msfha pres. |
