I would first like to thank the gang at Smitty's with a huge shout out to Bob and Andrea for the amazing hospitality they have consitantly shown us for many a year. The ground was as close to perfect as you can get and the weather Bob ordered was ideal.

We have reached the halfway point of the season and we are still gaining new members. I want to thank everyone for the warm SJRA welcome that was given. Time and time again I recieve compliments on our kids and this organization. Truth is the organization is only as good as the people and the families of SJRA fully understand the meaning of competition because there is no better but more so understand good sportsmanship and fellowship.

Please remember if you have any question regarding finals and the qualification process please ask me at the rodeos. I would much rather explain the whys and why nots early versus later or to late.

Group photos will be taken at Jaspar next week. We will take a group photo of each event then a picture of all the Juniors then all the seniors. If you would like individual photos for purchase please see Mark. He has invested (or Santa purchased) a Nikon D4 which is the newest and most up to date camera Nikon makes.Resolution is a whopping 16mps and is capable of capturing better than 11 frames per second...This weekend was the first shoot with the camera.The photo reviewed thus far are awsome,
and he still sees ways to do some tweeking for future
events and photo shoots. Please support Mark.

Let's not forget Dr. Melissa Greer....you get better by watching the film so please email her for a copy of your childs video.

Jasper will host our Team Roping fund raiser which will be help righ after the performance during super. Please contact one of our roping experts for more detail.

The Excptional Roeo for Special Needs is right around the corner and I would like to thank all of you (and you know who you are)for all you hard work in an effort to make this a special day in a persons heart. Please follow the website...flyers...press for details. We all must help to make this sucessful> We are all truely blessed in our own ways and this event will go a long way in bringing us all closer together.

Speaking of closer together! There will be many many families in our graduating class that have been with SJRA for many years and hold board positions. If you want to work hard and except the pay which is smiles on kids faces and life long relationships than see me and I will answer all your questions. SJRA is wonderful organization that will continue to grow for years to come so please get involved. No experience necessary ....just look at your current president, 6 years ago I did not have any idea what a rodeo was and wuite frankly still don't but with all the wonderful people around me I am comfortable in my duties.

One last shout out to all those who help between the rodeos...finishing the last, getting ready for the next and tiing up lose ends with the benifits. You guys all rock...if you want to get involved see in rodeo attire and we will put you to work for the kids.

God Bless

Pat
