NH Arabian Horse Association Newsletter
February - March 2007
Hello Friends,
New Hampshire Arabian had a good showing at the Farm and Forest Expo this February. We signed up one new member. Please welcome Kaitlyn Lebor to the club. We also sold a few raffle tickets. Many thanks to Sarah Theroux who put together a couple of nice buckets filled with goodies for the raffle.
Thanks go out to all the board members who worked the booth and made it fun and a special thank you to Leah Valladaras who drove down from Conway to perform a fun belly dancing show on Saturday. That got the husband's attention!
We have an exciting spring lined up. I hope we'll see familiar faces and possibly new members. Bring a friend when you come! For more information on any of these exciting events, please check our website at www.nharab.org or contact me, Laurel Bissonnette 435-9393 or email at
I'm looking for feedback on ways to make the club more meaningful for you. Please send me comments and suggestions. Remember this club is run by volunteers. We need your help! If you have time and can assist at any of these events, please let me know. Read on to see this great calendar of events!
