Friends of Tristanne Weber Childress:

The Virginia Morgan Horse Club, Inc. is proud to set up a fund that
will help sponsor and encourage Morgan Youth in her name.  In lieu
of flowers the family and friends of Tristanne would appreciate
donations to this worthwhile cause. A Committee of VCMHC
members including Tristanne's husband & parents has been formed
to Administer this worthwhile fund.  The committee wants donors to
know that these funds will be used to sponsor an AMHA Youth, to
enable participation in the Grand Nationals Morgan Youth of the
Year Competition.  This will be a need based decision by this
committee.  Please direct any further questions to Tristanne's good
friend: Mrs. Diana Swanson, Chair "Tristanne Childress Youth
Fund",  email:

HORSESHOE PENDANT WITH BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR
RIBBON

Churchwell's has custom made a 14 karat yellow gold horseshoe with a
pink enameled breast cancer survivor ribbon in the center. We can make
this piece as a pendant or a lapel pin for you to wear in the show ring. A
picture is worth a thousand words, but this piece is much more beautiful in
person. This piece is about 3/4 of an inch tall. It is the same piece that we
designed for the Lady's Breast Cancer Awareness class at the American
Royal. The price of the pendant is $350.00. For each piece sold,
Churchwell's will donate $20.00 to the Susan G. Komen breast cancer
foundation.

You can call us directly at 1.800.846.1961 to order
If you are interested in volunteering for either a committee position or during events,  please let Pete Jaeger
know and we will gladly find a spot for you!

The Virginia Carolina's Morgan Horse Club is a not for profit association build to support Morgan Horse
owners, breeders and enthusiasts. We are all volunteers who believe and support the greater goals of the
AMHA.  We work hard to provide educational and inspirational events for all ages. If you have any questions
or suggestions please feel free to contact any officer or those who sit on the Board of Directors.
The VCMHC would like to recognize and congratulate the 2008 Southern
States Regional Morgan Horse Show Committee and volunteers for all your
hard work and tireless dedication to producing yet another wonderful horse
show. Your volunteer efforts are appreciated and without your dedication the
show would not go on. Keep up the good work. For those who would like to join
this awesome team, please contact Jennie Mercier

  •    Do you who like to network with other Morgan owners,
    breeders, trainers, and exhibitors to learn and share?  
  •    Have you wondered how the SSMHS receives
    accolades and the honor of being named the Most
    Hospitable Show several years running?  
  •    Are you so motivated to share your love of the Morgan
    breed with others, that you don’t mind “getting’ dirty” to
    express it!

One of the events we support is our annual Southern States
Regional Morgan Horse Championship Show, held the Wed,
Thur, Fri, Sat just prior to Memorial Day in May.  A committee
of volunteers, fifteen in all, meets to strategize, organize,
orchestrate, and enjoy this celebration of our revered Morgan
breed and friends.

Our annual summer meeting of the Virginia Carolinas Morgan
Horse Club is the time that we look for new SSMHS team
members.  If you said, “YES” to any of the bullets above, we
invite you to come join this illustrious team of volunteers.  Come
share ideas, make new friends, and learn about the different
aspects of the Show Committee.  We would love to have you
and it just so happens we have a few spots open!!
