MEDAL CLASS: The finals this year will be held at HITS Saugerties on Saturday, Sept. 17. All is in place as far as ribbons, trophies, coolers, reception etc. The HITS organization has been nothing but wonderful, and accommodating to the PHA in having our finals there. If there is room, those who have shown in the PHA Medal class during the year and have entered the finals class at HITS may participate. JUNIOR PHA: There was no report. FINANCE COMMITTEE: There was a brief discussion as to whether the National PHA needs a company to manage our funds. It was the consensus that the National does not want to take a chance on the loss of any principle so we will maintain our current management strategies. HAWKINS AWARD: The winner has been chosen. The award will be given out at the Fairfield / Westchester high score award banquet on Friday November 18th at The Italian Center in Stamford, CT. AMERICAN HORSE COUNCIL: There was no report. USHJA COMMITTEE: This year’s convention will be December 3 thru 8th in New Orleans. All proposed rule changes are on the USHJA web site. PLEASE read them as they are important and make you voice heard either by going to the convention yourself or voicing your opinion to someone who is going there. OLD BUSINESS: There was no report. NEW BUSINESS: The trifold will be redone this year. Please look at it and submit any changes or corrections to Mary Jane Mitchell. There will be more green PHA pins ordered as well as pens. It was decided that chapters may do what they want as far as issuing any PHA membership cards. The PHA will look into doing a fund raiser on the national level, perhaps a 50 / 50 raffle. If any chapter needs any PHA material stored, there is a locker for that. Please contact Mary Jane Mitchell. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 1:30 pm Respectfully submitted, Barbara K. Filippelli
