Hey everyone I can’t wait to see you all soon!! If you have a second and would like here is the link to take a survey in regards to our community parks! It does list them all in the beginning, and you check the parks you attend so it does not ask you about places you haven’t been.

We want to hear from YOU! The Rock Island County Forest Preserve District values residents’ input on our community's forest preserve properties. Share your thoughts and feedback in a brief survey that takes less than 15 minutes. Your participation helps solicit feedback on efforts around education, conservations and recreation giving us a roadmap for how we can continue to improve our parks!

Janet Bryant- Moment of Silence Tributes to Janet

Executive Committee Report-
An Executive meeting was called to order by President, Cathy Bizarri due to the unexpected death of our Treasurer, Janet Bryant.
Members present were President, Cathy Bizarri, Vice President, Paul Rosmann, Secretary, Mary Baker and Current Directors, Frank and Nancy Preston.
Our current treasurer’s report is $5,174.65, according to the last entry of the past Treasurer, in the savings and checking accounts.
Our immediate New Business included is appointing a new Treasurer and whether we need 2 or 3 people on the account. Julie Fowler volunteered to become the new treasure and Doug Conklin and Paul Rosman who can also sign checks. Frank made a motion to appoint Juliee as the Treasurer with Doug and Paul as persons who could access the accounts and also sign checks. Nancy seconded the motion. Motion passed.
Cathy had a list of the club’s possessions that Janet had stored. They are as follows: a big coffee pot, small coffee pot, large roaster, extension cords, ribbons and trophies, Club flags, horse show supplies, old records, tent, bingo game. Paul agreed to store the coffee pots and then use them at our horseshow for early-risers. Cathy will keep the roaster for now and the extensions cords will be stored in the speaker case which is at Frank and Nancy’s. Cathy will keep the ribbons and trophies and may be we will use them for our horse show next June. Cathy will keep the flags for now. Paul would like to see if the large tent is in good condition and maybe use it for the horse show. Mary will keep the Bingo game and maybe use at our meeting .
Cathy was able to find a copy of the by-laws. By law they are to be read at our February meeting and updated. It was decided that our club will have a two -day show on Father’s Day weekend in 2024 and that we circulate a show bill or save a date for our show in 2024 to other clubs in the area. Motion to adjourn- Paul second by Nancy. Meeting adjourned.

From Jamie Heistan
Good morning, we have a western horse show, Road To The Rodeo that we are putting on this year and we're wanting to invite you and riders in your area. We are a cross between the Dixie Stampede, Road to the horse, the rodeo and the fun shows of old. We have great music, good food, fun events, money classes, bounce houses, games and more. You can find us on Facebook and check us out on roadtotherodeo.com. If you could share this, that would be great. Thank you

A Christ Centered Western horse show that is dedicated to creating tomorrow's Rodeo Stars! Everyone from beginners to pros are welcome here.
