ADU party an overwhelming success!

On Nov. 8th, hosted by Barbie Piccini's White Fences Equestrian Center, the ADU kick off party was a marvelous success. We increased our membership by at least another fifty percent! Photos can be seen at http://www.laurievirkstis.com/ website. Cean Embrey announced her brainchild of ADU University to encourage education, experimentation and advancement through the levels. Carol Schmickrath served as a master of ceremonies and Bill and Janet Askins attended. Bill is current president of our parent GMO organization Alamo Dressage Association. Kate Fitzpatrick's organizing of the silent auction netted us over $2200! The DeWayne Davis Band was extraordinarily good and the food provided on behalf of a kind member's contribution of a full catered dinner by Papacito's Restaurant proved to be great too. Next on the agenda, the creation of a fun calendar for 2009 and in Jan. a free viewing of the Olympic tapes at a member's house for more learning.
