CCC Minutes – June 5, 2012
Meeting called to order 7:13 PM, Guadalajara’s, Elizabeth, CO
Executive Board Members Present: Britany Crown, Jennifer Boggs, Heather Petersen, Ashley Demander, Rochelle Costanza
Members present: Carol Jones, Sam Landers, Gennifer Giustina
Minutes – Minutes were not taken in May. The meeting was entirely Spring Gulch preparation.
Treasurer’s Report –
Combined accounts stand at $14,794.88. Checking is $13,480.96; Savings is $1313.92.
After these numbers, Heather emptied the PayPal account that contained one entry, so another $193.90 was deposited.
Total income from the horse trials is at $20,870. Expense so far is $8715.77 but there are several outstanding bills and refunds that need to be issued. The water jump cost $114 to fill. $2500 was given to Friends of Spring Gulch to help cover Steve’s costs. The original $4500 we gave to Friends of Spring Gulch came out of the savings account. The recent check came out of checking. Gennifer will be reimbursed $640.61 for course maintenance costs, etc. The vet cost $650 but donated $100 back to Friends of Spring Gulch. We are still waiting on the bill from Comfort Suites.
Following the financial updates, the executive board discussed refunds to competitors based on dates scratched and other special circumstances. Heather will mail the refunds this week.
President’s Report
Jennifer heard good feedback on the awards we gave to the top placing riders in all divisions. It was nice to award more than first place with something to take home other than a ribbon. Jennifer asked where the profits from the event go and we discussed how much we put back into the course for upkeep, maintenance and continuing the event.
We need a group to volunteer for course upkeep for the month of June. Jennifer volunteered Mile High to do it. Jennifer will email Laura Backus, Mary Lewis (John Staples) and call Karen Paul to see if their groups could do July or later months.
There have been several requests that we open the water jump for schooling during the summer. Everyone discussed the man hours this takes and beating the jump itself takes with schooling. It was decided the water jump would only be opened for schooling after the Fall Benefit for a couple of hours. We will make an effort to mention other water jumps that are available for schooling if people email and we will push this in the newsletter.
There was a discussion of what counts for volunteer hours for CCC yearend awards. Only hours worked in conjunction with USEA recognized event or a CCC specific event will count.
There is a request from Libby Stokes to rent the CCC radios for her upcoming event. Ashley Demander moved that we rent the radios to Libby for $75. Britany Crown 2nd the motion, motion passed unanimously.
Vice President’s Report
Ashley would like to get Kirk Hall reserved for the 2012 Awards banquet. It was discussed – first date choice is January 19th, second date choice is January 26th.
September 1st is our Fall Benefit.
Delegate Reports
We are up in membership from last year according to Heather.
Website Reports
Jennifer mentioned that some links are not going to the right places on the website. Rochelle will check on this.
Spring Gulch Report
Gennifer will be doing more linseed oiling of the jumps this summer.
There was a review of the TD report. Overall, the report is pretty good with a few things to work on.
We will go to Costco next year and do boxed lunches for the volunteers – it will be cheaper and make things easier on the volunteers.
We will talk to Kari Randle about secretarying next year since Heather will not be able to be present and Scott would rather work on the organizer side of things.
If Kyle does control next year, we’ll work on having all jumps report and go away from the zone reporting to see if we can smooth things out. He did a good job for his first time and there are very few qualified people in the area to fill this position.
Carol will get us the missing pinneys’ list so we can work on collecting them from those who did not return them.
Steve is talking about switching the course again for next year and doing another approach to the water crossing due to the new clay wash that Highlands Ranch has put in. We need to move the track away from this area as it’s just too slippery and hard to negotiate.
Steve and Pete leveled the dressage area this year and it was very helpful.
Official suggestions for 2013 that Heather will work on:
TD – Tom Ordway
PGJ – Sheila, Anna or Deeda
Dressage judge – Loni or Gwen.
We are going to offer Highlands Ranch $1000 to put in a more permanent pavilion by the sheds – no sides, just a roof. They also made over $700 in park fees from the horse trials… Gennifer will talk to Bill.
Gennifer will also fix both dressage judge stands. The floor is falling out of one and we’ll just do maintenance the other one.
Old Business
All old business taken care of in Spring Gulch business.
Adjourned at 8:45 pm

There has been a possible double charge for the skid steer rental for moving of jumps before Spring Gulch of $1300. Scott is investing the charges.
President’s Report
The Spring Gulch clean-up in June by Mile High did not happen due to fires and other things. They are rescheduling for July and we will push the other groups to August or later months. Britany and Jennifer will work on this.
Vice President’s Report
Kirk Hall has been reserved for January 19th. There is a $150 rental fee and a $300 damage/cleaning deposit. We wrote a total check to DouglasCounty for $450.
Should we start pushing the Advanced Rider Endowment again? Heather will figure out how much money should be in the Endowment currently based on previous years’ minutes. She will also bring the previous documents for review to the next meeting.
September 1st is our Fall Benefit.

Spring Gulch Report
Officials for 2013 – we need to talk to Rick Dunkerton and Kari Randle as secretary.
Nutrena tags – we should start collecting them as they can be turned in for $0.60 per tag. We will collect them and turn them in to help raise money to build a pavilion at Spring Gulch. If Highlands Ranch doesn’t approve, we’ll find another project to fund like the Advanced Rider Endowment.
We need to see what horse trials are rotating if any so we can make sure our dates are locked in.
Fall Benefit:
Double check EMT with Gwen – Heather will take care of.
Britany will ask Kathy Simard to judge.
Ashley will ask Emily to help with XC.
Carol will be the volunteer coordinator.
We will email CCC to see if anyone would like to help organize.

Spring Gulch Horse Park Permanent Pavilion Fund Raiser with Nutrena
One of the amenities that Spring Gulch Horse Park lacks is a permanent shelter where we can get out of the sun and the rain. The CCC Board is offering Highlands Ranch $1,000.00 toward the construction of a permanent pavilion. Obviously, $1,000.00 is not going to be nearly enough money to complete this project.
Nutrena® is offering the CCC,20 cents to 50 cents, depending on the product, for each proof of purchase tag the club collects from any of their products. If we all collect our proof of purchase tags off our bags of feed and other Nutrena® products, we can make some serious money to put toward our Spring Gulch Horse Park Pavilion.
Now you are wondering exactly which Nutrena products count for this fund raiser. Check out the following list.
Life Design Horse products:
Safechoice
Vitality
XTN
LiteBalance
Empower Boost and Empower Balance
Triumph horse products
Showmaster Feeds
Loyall Pet foods
Nutrena Farmstore feeds
Cargill Milk Plus Pellets
And, if you don’t use Nutrena you can check out their products at (Gennifer has $5.00 off coupons)
Plus, you can donate directly to this project by giving to the Friends of Spring Gulch, and your donation is tax deductible.
OK, you say, I can do this! Now, what do I do with all these proof of purchase tags? Who do I contact for more information?
Gennifer Giustina
13624 Travois Trail
Parker, CO 80138
303-841-0158
And hey, what if I don’t have time to mail these things to Gennifer? Contact Gennifer and arrange to have her pick up the proof of purchase tags!
