2010 Update from the ASAV President Kilian Dill:

In conjunction with the Judging Clinic held this past week, ASAV held a BOD meeting. Several significant pieces of information arose from that meeting. First of all, ASAV will match or exceed the financial goals set forth in the Spring Meeting (see newsletter). The bank accounts now show well over $6,000 has been accumulated. We anticipate ending the year with $7,000 to $7,500 in reserves. Our goals will be set higher for the coming year. At the meeting ASAV unveiled their new lines of promotional merchandise. I am glad to say we effectively "sold out" at the meeting. The items will go on sale shortly on our web site. During the Judging Clinic weekend, ASAV we had a number of new members join and several renewals--these included payments for life time memberships. Thank you all in joining our efforts! The BOD voted to have the ASAV Challenge Cup ride in Montana next year. Arrangements are being finalized with the ride managers (AHA, AERC, FEI sanctioned?). We agreed to have the National Meeting in the SF Bay area next year (April-May time frame). Details will emerge in the next few months.
