Annual Meeting

1/7/13

WHHA Members & Friends

It’s that time of year again! Our annual meeting and banquet is fast approaching! I hope you’re able to come share in the fun!!

This year we kick off with an informational demonstration of interactive Internet websites relating to harness racing. The WHHA Meeting and USTA District 4B meeting is always informative and serves as chance for you to voice your opinion and help guide the direction of the 2013 racing season.

I am very excited to welcome USTA Executive VP Mike Tanner to our weekend of fun! Let’s all turn out in full force and show him what Cheeseheads have to offer!

We have numerous awards to give out, and I hope you’re able to come celebrate them all – especially our “Big 3”: James Laird Memorial Award For Excellence (Party Hangover); Horseperson of the Year (Brian McMahon) and Wisconsin Harness Racing Hall of Fame (Susan Schroeder & Dr. JP West).

Membership and Banquet form is attached. Please remember that we have a NEW & IMPROVED CATERING SERVICE this year! The downfall, is that we will not have the flexibility we always have had when giving our numbers … please, please get your reservations in by January 15^th so we can make sure there is enough food for everyone … I can’t stress this enough.
