Region 9 Bench Fund

Yea... we have finally paid for the Region 9 Bench that proudly sits in the court yard of the USDF National Education Center in Lexington, KY.

Thanks to all the donors over the last 3 years. And to those that contributed to the final fund raising effort - the "Cup Cake Wars" at the regional championship show in Nov. Also a special thanks to Houston Dressage Society... our greatest contributor, and for letting us hold the fund raiser. And to Sherry Guess... who paid the last $127. needed to pay off the bench.
For a final accounting... go to www.usdfregion9.org

It took a whole region, with many contributors...below is a list of those that gave $200 or more.
We appreciate all who helped!
