When you receive your copy of "The Journal" this month, make sure you read Page 29.
There is an article on the Affiliates' meeting held in AVA last month. The remark by "Susan Lesner", which should have been "Sharon Lesner", (our FoxTROT secretary), is right on the point in addressing the fact "Trail riders want to feel included".
As an individual, NOW is your chance to be heard. AVA is asking for your input, stories, etc. At the very end of the article is what and where to submit.
However, as a FoxTROT member, please submit your ideas or suggestions to Sam or any of the BOD members. Submitting suggestions as a group sends a strong message to AVA about what we as an affiliate and trail riders would like to see.
Looking a bit further on Page 29, in case you don't recognize those two smiling MFT riders from the picture itself---our President Sam and trail-boss wife Debbie are featured on a brand new column, "Trails Across American and Beyond". The "Journal" is asking for contributions of pictures, stories, tips, etc.
Your voice and Our voices in these matters will count!
See you at The Bolo Club at the end-of-the month!!
