Volunteer Hours for 2015

      Comments Off on Volunteer Hours for 2015

We are in the process of updating all the old forms that have a 5 hour volunteer requirement for eligibility for Year End Awards. It was decided that for 2015, 8 hours per horse/rider combination is required. Please note this as you plan your show year. We are always in need of volunteers and 8 hours will not be hard to get if you plan ahead! You must have a signed Volunteer Hours Form that you are responsible for keeping until end of the year submission along with your Rider Report Form. Shelley Fugitt (tnsaf@comcast.net) is the new Volunteer Coordinator and she will be happy to help find a volunteer duty for you.

bwbuggyOur friends in the Middle TN Carriage Club will hold their one-day schooling combined-driving event at Percy Warner Park on Saturday July 11. It takes an army of volunteers, and they need help on Thursday 7/9 putting up the marathon obstacles and dressage ring. Friday, 7/10, will be more grounds prep and setup of cones course. Saturday they need people all day, but particularly in the afternoon to judge marathon obstacles.  And Sunday they could use a hand putting it all back. There are all sorts of jobs – from supervision and shuttling around on golf cart, to general labor…
