Thanks to everyone for a successful annual horse show!

 

To the Members of the NC Hunter Jumper Association,

 

It is my pleasure to congratulate the Association on a job well done at the 36th Annual NCHJA Annual Benefit Horse Show.  The week was full of summer fun, great hospitality, and fierce competition.  Our benefit show was successful in benefiting the Norah Morris Memorial Scholarship and NC State College of Veterinary Medicine Scholarship Endowment.  Thank you to all who attended and supported our Association and scholarships.

 

Many volunteers put in countless hours of intense work into the planning and execution of the success we had throughout the week.  Thank you all for your dedication to our horse show and our Association.

 

As we look to grow and improve this Annual event in the years to come, the Board of Directors and the 2011 Horse Show Committee is seeking your feedback from your experiences’ at this year’s show.  Please complete the “Show Evaluation and Feedback” form found on www.NCHJA.com or simply submit your thoughts via e-mail to nchja@nc.rr.com.

 

Thank you to everyone who was involved with our show as an exhibitor, volunteer, staff member, or friend.  Your efforts and dedication are greatly appreciated.

Regards,
