It's just three months away

It's that most wonderful time of the year!

It’s time again for our annual chapter Christmas party! Based on attendance, this has to be everyone's favorite event – I know it's one of mine. I always look forward to the chance to visit with members and catch up on the goings-on with their horses. It doesn’t hurt that the rooms are filled with beautiful decorations, good food, pretty presents, smiles and laughter as well.

Suzi Ronning is so gracious to host us again this year at her home just outside Newberg (29895 NE Wilsonville Road, Newberg OR 97132). The party will be held on Sunday, December 11, beginning at 4:00 p.m.  The chapter provides ham; please bring your favorite sides, salads and desserts to go along with that. We will also have our usual cutthroat gift exchange, so bring a wrapped gift costing no more than $20.  

If you are new to our area and/or our chapter, I hope you are able to come and get acquainted. If you have come before, then I look forward to seeing you there! 

Mary Ann Trout, President

Chehalem Mt. Chapter of ODS

November meeting reminder

Our November meeting will be on Wednesday, the 9th, at Clover Valley Equestrian Center, our usual meeting date and place. Patty from Gallops Saddlery is coming to talk about bits and bitting. (It would be great to have some snacks to bite while listening, so bring some to share!)

I have been remiss in posting the minutes of our September and October meetings; so sorry! I'll try to get those up here on the blog soon for those, like me, who were unable to attend.
