The Year End Awards program is going to have some changes coming in 2019. Watch this space - we will post the news when the Area Council approves all of the new changes. Basically we will not be changing the Year End Awards for the competitors, but hope to be streamlining things for those who are involved in helping to count the points. In addition, we will be working on more trophies and promotions for year end winners. And an online signup is also proposed! Don't forget that Area II Year End Awards has an 8-hour volunteer requirement. You must volunteer in the area at least 8 hours in any capacity for any recognized event before the end of the season in order for points to count. So line up your volunteer hours today by visiting www.eventingvolunteers.com, signing up, and choosing your event and job online. More info soon!

From Jenni Autry 

Thank You to everyone who came out to Joseph Murphy Eventing's December clinic at Kealani Farm. It was a jam-packed three days that also conincided with the USEA Area II Annual Meeting, and we had a very full house on Saturday with a slew of people coming out to watch his training demo. We also received a number of generous donations from auditors in support of Jonty Evans and his continued recovery. Thank you to Melissa Stubenberg, Gwen Kriskie, Mike, Juan, and the entire Kealani team for being so wonderful to work with, and a special shout-out goes to the entire Erika Nesler Equestrian team for being jump crew superstars. Last but certainly not least, my horse is a LEGEND.
