SANTA CLARA COUNTY HORSEMEN’S ASSOCIATION 76 GREAT YEARS! JULY 2015 OUR PURPOSE IS TO PROMOTE GOOD FELLOWSHIP BETWEEN HORSEMEN AND A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF HORSES. SCCHA CORRAL CHATTER CORRAL CHATTER Hello all, Sorry I missed you at the June general meeting. I heard the dinner cooked up by Butch and Pat was awesome and some wonderful side dishes were contributed by other members. As you may have heard, we completed the task of refilling several years of prior tax returns. Now comes the hard part, paying for those past due taxes and penalties as well as the costs of refilling the tax returns. Yvonne hosted the general meeting in my absence and inquired as to any interested parties that would be willing to loan SCCHA funds in hopes we could pay off the taxes due quickly and not incur additional penalties and late fees. The Board would like to ensure that any loans (which we have received a few) received towards this debt will be paid back as promptly as possible and will be classified as a priority to repay. Those of you that have loaned funds, I can only express our gratitude. I can assure you that we have taken steps to prevent this from ever happening again. We will have much to celebrate once this is all done but until then we are tightening down on all existing costs and making attempts to reduce our overhead wherever possible. We cannot expend money that is not mandatory when we have asked the membership for assistance to pay an outstanding debt. Hopefully in the near future we can resume our scheduled monthly horse events and spend more time with our horses and friends. That is, after all, what we enjoy most. Thank you for your patience and support during these past few months and many thanks to our Board Members who have spent much time reconciling records. Have a safe 4th of July and hope to see you all at the August general meeting. Mary Anderson President PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Hello all, Sorry I missed you at the June general meeting. I heard the dinner cooked up by Butch and Pat was awesome and some wonderful side dishes were contributed by other members. As you may have heard, we completed the task of refilling several years of prior tax returns. Now comes the hard part, paying for those past due taxes and penalties as well as the costs of refilling the tax returns. Yvonne hosted the general meeting in my absence and inquired as to any interested parties that would be willing to loan SCCHA funds in hopes we could pay off the taxes due quickly and not incur additional penalties and late fees. The Board would like to ensure that any loans (which we have received a few) received towards this debt will be paid back as promptly as possible and will be classified as a priority to repay. Those of you that have loaned funds, I can only express our gratitude. I can assure you that we have taken steps to prevent this from ever happening again. We will have much to celebrate once this is all done but until then we are tightening down on all existing costs and making attempts to reduce our overhead wherever possible. We cannot expend money that is not mandatory when we have asked the membership for assistance to pay an outstanding debt. Hopefully in the near future we can resume our scheduled monthly horse events and spend more time with our horses and friends. That is, after all, what we enjoy most. Thank you for your patience and support during these past few months and many thanks to our Board Members who have spent much time reconciling records.

• Pat - problems with the tax returns. We have ended up with a $10,000 tax liability we didn't expect. Asking if anyone in club can lend money to the club that we will pay back. Contact Pat if interested in helping out. We need to collect between $8,000 - $10,000. There is no deadline, we just want to stop the penalties and interest from accruing. Chris Minkler will loan $1,000. Also got another loan for $2,000, so we have collected $3,000 thus far.
• Chris Minkler - 4th of July parade in Morgan Hill. Horsemans is still participating this year. There is a new staging area for the horses. Riders should be there around 7am to start prepping horses. Please let Edie Behning know if you are interested in riding.

This is a cash only event as we pay money out to the winners. If any questions, contact Danielle Behning or Karen Tarasco. Bev mentioned that the San Martin Horsemen's is having a scavenger hunt in Mount Madonna. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place win money. Lunch is served. Ride out at 10am either in a group or as an individual. You are sent out with a list of things to find on the trail, but not everything on the list will be found and if you say you find it, points will be deducted. Any questions, contact Bev.
