Baked Goods
Auction Huge Success
Again this year at the Fall Social,
the youth made baked goods to be auctioned off with the proceeds to be
used for a Sub for Santa. Many thanks to all those who attended the
Social and bid on the delicious goodies. The youth baked up pies,
cookies, cakes, and of course those famous Kelli Foster cookies. The
youth were able to raise over $400 to be used for needy families for
Christmas. As advisors, Susan, Julia and Deanna would like to
thank this great group of youth we have who are always so willing to
give of their time and talents to support those in need. We would also
like to express our thanks to the parents for all their work. Our
hats off to you.
The Youth of the Utah Jr. Paint Horse Club would also like to thank
all their many supporters throughout the year. Without your
generosity, the youth would not be able to have such great activities,
service projects, and awards.
The youth were able to sponsor Christmas for 2 families this year.
Those that could went shopping and then wrapped the gifts. This
year we were able to deliver the presents directly to one of the
families and they were so appreciative. We again thank the UPHC
members for their generous support of the Sub For Santa project.
What a great experience it was to bring such joy to these families.
TUBING at
Soldier Hollow
On Saturday, January 27th, the
youth went tubing at Soldier Hollow in Wasatch Mountain State Park
near Midway. We had reservations at Soldier Hollow from 10am to
12pm and 20 youth, friends and parents were able to enjoy plunging
down the 1200’ tubing lanes. Afterwards we enjoyed lunch out on the
veranda at the Mountain Grill. With all the murk down in the
valley, it was great to be able to spend time in the sunshine in such
a beautiful setting. We hope that all who were not able to come
this year can join us next year.
ALL Youth
Invited
We would like to invite all interested
youth to be part of the UT Junior Paint Horse Club. We have lots
of events and projects planned for the year and would like to have as
many youth as we can be involved. We will be doing a horse
demonstration at the Utah Horse Expo as well as helping staff the UPHC
information booth that will be held on March 9, 10 & 11 at the South
Jordan arena. This is a great opportunity for the youth to share
their knowledge and love of their paint horses. We also need to know
who is planning on going to the World Show. Even if you are not going
to World, we would love your help and input. If you would like to
be involved with the youth, please contact Tasha Bierman at
801-571-7394 so she can make sure you are called and notified of
upcoming meetings and activities.
AjPHA Presidential Service Project
AjPHA President Laura Akerlund’s “One Stride at a Time” project asks
regional clubs to organize fundraisers and participate in cancer
walks/runs to raise money to help those battling cancer. Money raised
can either be donated to a charitable foundation or to someone in the
club’s community who is fighting cancer. At the fall social, the
youth had a special raffle and pink cake sale to raise money for the
American Cancer Society. They raised $55 to donate towards cancer
research.
At the 2006 Awards Banquet held on January 27, 2007, they kicked off
the “Tailbags for Cancer” fundraiser. The youth made bright pink
tailbags and had them available for a $10 donation. They were able
to raise almost $300 at the Banquet. They also had the Tailbags at
the Randy Anderson Sale in Ogden on February 10th and
raised over $60. They goal is to sell 100 tailbags by the April
Show. They would like to see all the horses at the show promoting
“One Stride at a Time” by wearing their pink tailbag. Contact any
youth member if you would like to donate and receive a tailbag.
Tailbags will also be available at the Horse Expo, the March 24 Clinic
and the April Show.
Horse Expo
The youth will be doing a
showmanship demonstration at the 2007 Horse Expo held March 9-11. The
demonstration is scheduled for 1:30pm on Sunday March 11. If you are
interested in participating in the demo, please contact Tasha Bierman
at 571-7394. We also need volunteers to help man the UPHC Booth at
the Expo on Friday, Saturday & Sunday. If you are available to help
out, give Tasha a call.
