Kelly will be hosting a pizza and movie night in her apartment (Terrace apts, Sassafrass 433) on Tuesday, Sept. 27th from 6 - 9:30 PM. She's taking a vote on which movie we're going to watch (horse-themed movies only please)! Kelly's vote is for Black Beauty, but we'll watch whatever movie the most people want to see. Right now Black Beauty is in first with one more vote than Hidalgo. Please e-mail Kelly with the movie you'd be most interested in watching and whether or not you're coming (so we know how much pizza to get). If we have enough interest, we might make this a monthly thing and move it to the Commons, so if you don't get to watch the movie you want this time, we'll plan it for another movie night! See you all then!

Some of you still need to work out carpooling to lessons. If you need transportation, please e-mail Kelly with your name, phone number, and the times that you would be available to take a lesson (we recommend you put aside at least 2-3 hours for a lesson). Those of you that are able to give rides please provide your name, phone number and your current lesson time and we will try to pair you up with someone who needs a ride!

Please send Sam your e-mail address and your most convenient contact phone number if you are comfortable with the information being given to the rest of the club. I would like to make up a contact sheet so that you all will have each others information to arrange rides to different events as well as lessons. Also, let Sam know if you are interested in participating in a clinic, such as grooming, braiding or bandaging. We have UMBC Equestrian jackets please let me know if you would be interested in ordering one. They run big so I would suggest that if you do want one you get the size smaller then you would regularly order.

Involvement Fest is this coming Wednesday (the 1st) from 11-2 on the Quad. Our check-in time is 9:45 am. I can be there at 9:45 to check us in, but I have class from 10-11:50. It would be awesome if someone could meet me there at 9:45 and be there until at least noon. If people want to work in shifts that would be good too. Also, if anyone is able to be at the table with me from noon-2, that would be awesome. Please e-mail Kelly with when you're available to be at the table.

We are also working on a calendar to sell as a fundraiser so get your pictures to Sam. Thirdly, we are selling Avon products to raise money for the farm.
