President's Comment Corner

     On Wed, Sep 3, 2008 Frank Larrabee and other ApHC personnel will be flying to Des Moines courtesy of the Iowa Convention and Visitors Bureau for a tour of the city and introduction to the fair board.  Purpose of the visit is discussion about moving the Nationals or Worlds to Des Moines in 2011 or possibly 2010. 

     The Nationals is the first choice to move and Des Moines is very interested in having the Nationals and this will open up opportunities for us as well with our shows in Des Moines. At this time we are working on getting some kind of press coverage either TV or newspaper for the Congress show.  They have access to press releases that we can use also.

     So in the short term if anyone has any ideas on how we can use the press releases and how we want to present ourselves in the press we need to get moving on it. This is an opportunity that we do not want to miss and has the potential to promote the Iowa Appaloosa Association and the Appaloosa horse like we have never been able to do before.

     On Thursday Sept 4th Frank will be at the show and would like to hold a town hall meeting of sorts with the ApHC membership and he will be staying until Friday Sept 5th four pm. 

     In the next thirty days we need to work together and put on a first rate show and present ourselves in a positive fashion as we will be in the spot light like never before. This is a team effort for the entire membership to take on and be proud of it's club and it's accomplishments. We will need to look at having a meeting here quickly to start planning or look into a conference call of some kind. I will let you know more as I know more.
