LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT -  We're heading into summer now, the Derbies are starting to wind down and it's about time for the Futurities to begin.  Good luck to those of you who have 3 year olds getting ready for their debut this year.  Our Snaffle Bit Futurity sponsored by John Clark Oil and Clark's Pump N Shop to be held on August 5, 6 & 7 promises to be a great one.  Don't forget the Sam Smith Clinic this weekend.  A few slots are still available and you may contact me to reserve one rickcl@bp1.com.  This is a great fundraiser for our club as well as a great opportunity to learn from one of the industries top professionals.  The cutoff date for declaring your affiliate to be eligible for the East Coast Affiliate Championships is fast approaching.  July 1 is the deadline so if you haven't done so, go to http://www.nrha.com and download the form, fill it out with OVRHA as your affiliate and mail it in!  Wouldn't it be great if we could win the team championship the first year the show returns to Ohio!  We still have some class sponsorships available so any member who still wishes to donate class trophies please contact me or one of the other committee members mentioned in this newsletter.
