Old Business:

The Keystone Classic held Saturday, June 2nd, 2007 at the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds was a great success as reported by Kelly Anderson. Kelly stated that everything went well, very smoothly and quickly, all in all a fantastic show. We are looking into our options for a different photographer for next years show.

Macy’s Parade. Kathy Ballantine reported that no one has shown and interest in doing this parade. The fact that we must submit a drill routine on video with the application is proving to be difficult as a drill team would have to practice very frequently and many of our members live too far from each other to make this practical.

Sharyn Knecht suggested that as a starting point for our Macy’s Parade drill routine, photos should be taken during the Hambletonian Parade.

Rails to Trails drive: Sharyn Knecht reported that due to inclement weather the last drive had to be postponed and during the summer months most members calendars are filled with other activities. Sharyn plans on getting another drive together for the fall.

Hambletonian Parade. Sandy Lapp has reported that we have 11 members and 7 horses slated to be in this parade.

Ken Mott is supplying portable fences which will be at the designated meeting area on the City Hall lawn. Parking will be in the college parking lot. As soon as Sandy has parking information she will get it out to the members.

KMHC Polo Shirts. Sandy Lapp has stated that the order date for the KMHC polo shirts has been extended and it is not too late to order. Interested members may log onto our web site and order from there, call Sandy Lapp at (610) 965-9707 or email Sandy at sandy.lapp@rodale.com.

New Business:

KMHC Fall Fun Show. Kelly Anderson and Mike Roe have been doing a wonderful job with our shows but they need additional help with contacting Bill Eperthener to judge the fall show. Anyone who could help out would be tremendously appreciated. Please give this some thoughtful consideration, your help is needed! Please contact Kelly Anderson at hamhf@comcast.net or call Kelly at (215) 529-0627.

Small Farm Expo will be held in New Paltz, NY this year on October 13^th and 14th. We need a volunteer to chair this committee, Julie Forsyth has tentatively volunteered, must check her calendar to see if she has to work that week end or not. KMHC has participated in this expo for the past 3 years.

Membership Application Form. Ken Mott stated that the membership application will be included in each publication of the newsletter.

Membership Application Format. Linda Mott brought a sample of a competitors application which was a bit fancier than our application. Jodi Knecht is going to check into the cost of getting something similar printed for the KMHC.

AMHR Convention, November 2007. Donna Julius emailed Ken Mott concerning the AMHR convention being held in Buffalo, NY this year. Zone I will be hosting this years convention, we are in Zone I. A request has been made for a donation of $150 which would go towards the hospitality room and towards a table for the KMHC at the convention. We are recognized as an "official club" of the AMHR and this is a great opportunity for club exposure.

Sharyn Knecht made a motion to send the $150 donation to the AMHR.

Kathy Ballantine seconded the motion, motion carried.

Gail Gougeon announced that the Southern Wayne Trail Riders is holding a week-end camp-out with fun and activities planned at the Madison Fair Grounds, Brookfield, NY on September 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

Insurance Coverage. A question was raised as to how many events we are currently covered for. After some discussion it was decided that blanket coverage may be more economical rather than to add each event as they arise. Sandy Lapp is going to contact Kathy LaFrana and request that she obtain the costs from our agent.

Nomination Committee Chairperson. Linda Mott has volunteered to be the Nomination Committee Chairperson. The candidates will be announced in September, voting will be by mail. The results will be counted and announced during the November meeting.

Christmas Breakfast Party. After a lengthy discussion it was decided by a majority vote to once again have our Christmas Breakfast at Cherry’s Restaurant on December 2nd.
