Dear friends, helpers, volunteers of Spirit Program
It has been seven years since the Spirit Program started at the small backyard at the Great Falls, with one 40+ year old mare and our first rider, Cella.
I am sharing these thoughts and memories with you, to remind those who have been with Spirit for all this time, and to explain to those who came later how important this season is for Spirit, and for me personally.
Seven years after my heart is so full, and it is hard to find words to say how much of a miracle everything that, through hard work, happened in the past seven years has been.
Cella rode at our Show 12/22/2012, too.
Smiles small victories, and magic of horses filled 2012 and You are part of it.
At the show last Saturday almost 50 volunteers were active, helping us to create a safe and fun taste of success for all our riders. We did a good job, and thank you if you were with Spirit that morning.
Together we did almost 8,000 hours of volunteer work this year, more than 2,500 lesson hours, for more then 200 clients in therapy and education.
Thank you all, for each moment and support you offered to Spirit Program, and I am hoping to continue our mission with your help and with help of special people like you, in many years ahead.
Please, do not forget to renew your Registration, by sending an e-mail to Ms Cathy, our coordinator, saying:
"I want to continue to volunteer at Spirit Program - 2013" in subject line, in the body of the e-mail, put your availability, or any changes of previous status from the printed Registration, also put your name in weekly schedule to continue being a part of the Volunteer Team of Spirit Program.
Best wishes, and blessings of the Season,
Dada
