USPC $'s - Cash Receipts and Disbursements, Region/Club, 2009

A reminder that your club's cash receipts and disbursements are due Feb. 15th and are found via the link above.  One copy to National, one copy for your club records and one copy to your RS: Beth Mantis, 29544 SE Heiple Rd. Eagle Creek, OR 97022.  This is an IRS and USPC requirement.

Also, by January 31st, you were supposed to have sent a 1099 form to any individuals your club paid over $600 to. 
IRS - 1099 INFORMATION (from USPC)
directions from IRS: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1099msc.pdf
order form for 1099-misc: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/page/0,,id=23108,00.html

As our club treasurer noted, it would be very useful to get social security numbers from folks way ahead of time so as not to scramble at the last minute!

Equine Expo

The region has decided to have a booth at the Equine Expo, March 19-21, at the Linn County Fairgrounds. Following the push from the national office to advertise Pony Club more, this seems like a great opportunity to reach out to those that might not be aware we exist.

We need help manning the booth on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Please forward this on to all your club families and ask them to sign up for at least one time slot. Pony Clubbers get in free on Saturday (just tell them at the ticket booth you are with PC or show them your id card), and we are working on getting half price tickets for the other days. Go to the link below, sign up for a time slot, and click "save". If for some reason you need to change your time slot later you can go back and edit it.

This does not have to be a club activity, individual families can sign up for time slots. We hope to have enough participation so the burden (opportunity!) can be shared amongst many rather than just a few. They have some terrific things going at the Expo so I encourage everyone to attend, do a shift at our booth, and then enjoy the Expo!

Congratulations to USPC research fair winners!

Congratulations to Megan H. and Rebekah P. of Willamette Valley Pony Club who took first place in the Senior C Division of the Research fair at the USPC annual meeting in January!  Their study on the Effect of Various Physical Factors on Postprandial Blood Glucose Concentrations in Equines was interesting and these two spent a ton of time and work on this project.  Look forward to hearing more about it and hopefully some photos of their giant ribbons too in our next month's regional newsletter!
