Leadership Lab....and everything else in June

This is the first of what may turn into many reminders concerning Leadership Lab and everything else we have going during the month of June.

First let me say I would rather be given two brand new events to run, rather than cancel one well established event. June is challenging enough without squeezing in a judging contests.

Here goes my attempt to keep things from slipping by any of us:

District Horse Show:

• All entries are due by May 22.
• If the horse is not validated then the horse can not be entered
• If two children are riding the same horse, then the horse must be entered twice, and the Ground fee must be paid twice
• Entries for the Horse Show will not be confirmed at the District office until after May 22.

Leadership Lab:

• Registration is due May 29
• Officer applications are also due on May 29
• Those running for office will serve as teen leaders and teen leaders will be expected to come to Sam Houston on June 19 to participate in Pre-Leadership Lab
• Chaperoning is imperative in this new format. If you are sending kids you should plan to attend Lab. If you cannot attend then you should make individual arrangements with another CEA to be a point person for your youth.

State Roundup

• Be Flexible!!!!!! The schedules have changed and may change a few more times prior to your event. Check the online schedules frequently and be ready to change your plans
• This will be a great event, but it will not be the same event as we've had in the past.
  
• Wednesday contests will have award ceremonies in various formats and these formats may change based on communication from the Superintendent. All we are guaranteeing is first through third will be announced at the big assembly.

Multi District Judging

• All Multi-District Judging contests will occur on June 12, 2009
• These contests are open to Juniors and Intermediates Only
• Contestants must re-register for the event.
• All fees previously paid for Multi-District Judging will be refunded

Leadership Institute

• Open to two youth from your county in addition to all District Council Officers
• Registration will be $150
• Registration is due July 6, 2009
  
• Location is still not confirmed but Texas State University in San Marcos is under strong consideration

Questions?????
I feel like there must be at least some questions out there. If you have one, please ask it here for everyone's benefit.

For tracking sake I will try to post updates and concerns to this site as they come in....

Summer is definitely upon us.
