First I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Holiday Season. Seems hard to believe it is the end of the year already! Heartiest congratulations to our new AHA President, Cynthia Richardson and our Vice-President, Nancy Har-vey. I know both of these ladies personally and look for-ward to their fresh perspective. I would also like to congratulate Jay Greenberg, our new Regional Director. Jay is also a fresh face, loaded with just the kind of experience and leadership we need. With

35 years of Arabian horse dedication, Jay has owned, bred and shown some wonderful horses at every level including National wins. He also has horses at home and enjoys his local trails. Jay is very concerned and looks forward to advancing our Region with more events to engage all of our members, whatever their interest in our breed. I know Jay very well and know that he wants to hear from you regarding your ideas, concerns and desires. His contact information: [email protected] A couple of quick reminders – If you show, your USEF and AHA membership may be due. All stallion reports and Sweepstakes nominations need to be sent in before January 1, as well. Also check to see if your personal WAHO membership is current! Speaking of AHA membership; remember that our organization is only as strong as our members! Your support of the organization, your membership dollars and your enthusi-asm are needed for us to continue. It’s been a tough year. The economy, gas prices, hay prices, land use and less personal time has made it difficult for many. While our Arabian horses are always a source of great joy, sometimes that joy comes at a personal expense. There were several very interesting discussions at the AHA convention regarding the threat

IAHC has established a Café Press Store where many items are available decorated with the artwork of some of our members and other artists with whom we have been licensed or received permission to use their art. The small commission we received on each item sold is one of the very few ways in which this Club can raise funds to support our agendas for the Arabian horse world-wide. We have provided “special” items for the Region 2 Sport Horse & Dressage Championships and for the AHA Sport Horse National.

We can also use your own art and/or logo, put in the script you wish and you will have something uniquely yours. Below, are examples of items that are available. The iPhone 3G Hard Case comes only in white, the iPad Case comes in black, blue, pink, green or white and the iPad 5-in-1 case comes in black, white or metallic bronze. Please peruse our store and check out the many different items for gifts, yourself or your Club’s special occasion or activity.

The 4th Quarterly Region 2 Delegates meeting was held on November 3, 2012, in Bakersfield, Ca. In the absence of Director Jeff Reichman, our Vice

Director Jay Greenberg ran the meeting. The Bylaws Committee presented their final Draft of the proposed updates to the Delegates. Each change, deletion and addition was addressed separately which worked very well. There was only one addition requested to be added to 3 areas addressing meeting and balloting by mail. This request was for the Secretary to keep a record of “return-read receipts” re-quired when notification is sent out elec-tronically.

Lorry Wagner , Insallah AHC Delegate

There was some discussion on the meth-od contained within our Bylaws for fill-ing the vacancy of the Vice Director’s position. It is intended to follow our By-laws since Director Jay Greenberg had already had a prior legal opinion on this issue anticipating question. Three more opinions from AHA positions have agreed with and confirmed the initial legal opinion. This vacant office will be filled at the January 5, 1st Quarterly Del-egates’ meeting in 2013.

that our current level of shows, breed-ing, transfers (of ownership) and pleas-ure riding faces. Only the interest, par-ticipation and support of those of us who live and love the Arabian will keep us going. That means YOU! Here’s an idea: what about a gift of an AHA membership? If that doesn’t fill your stocking, remember that Café Press has many wonderful gift ideas and they are happy to customize items to perfectly fit your needs. Their link is on our Insallah main website page! Or watch for our eBay offerings and check out our book store. Personally, I am sending Lorry Wagner’s wonderful bi-ography of our dear Mary Anne Grim-mell to several people. The book is available on Amazon. In closing, I would like to thank all of our members who came to the meetings, participated in our club, and made dona-tions of time, energy and money. I would also like to send a very special thank you to Lorry Wagner; the glue that holds us together. Without Lorry’s time and dedication, Insallah AHC would not exist. Thank you, my friend. I enjoyed my terms as President and the opportunity to work with all of you. It was an honor.
