MEETING: October 11, 2010

GUESTS: Jennifer Dunn and Max Bookless

FINES: Sergeants-At-Arms, Larry Sloan and Dennis Reiser started off with fines for a crowd of late arrivals: Bob, Mark, Jeff, Dan and Ward. Some of the fines, but probably not all were, Curtis Mitchell for discriminating against Bushs son (photo evidence was provided), Darrin was fined for pointing out errors made by the Sergeants and then virtually everyone was fined an advertising tax for wearing company logo shirts. Or not. Doc bought a fine, trying to get someone to trim his hedge for two hundred and fifty dollars..no takers.

PROGRAM: Jennifer Dunn, Volunteer with Reins of Hope

Jennifer opened her presentation with a heartfelt thanks to AMBUCS for their support in the past. She explained how the kids feel on top of the world, when they are on the horses and always have a big smile on their face. This is a time when no one ridicules them. They have fun and are educated in many areas while they are at the riding session. Each rider is asked, How will what you learned today help you tomorrow? Jennifer read a childs testimony to give all of us a sense of what this program means to the kids. She explained some of the operational facts about the Reins of Hope and answered several questions. The Mission: Reins of Hope Therapeutic Riding, Inc. is a not for profit organization that fosters safe, professional, ethical and therapeutic equine activities for people with disabilities. This will be accomplished through individualized programs in an environment designed to assure the individual reaches his/her potential.
