Look another quarter has flown by which also marks the halfway point of the year. I’ve been having a lot of fun running this little year long challenge and I hope everyone who has participated has been enjoying themselves as well. I know all the events you have given your weekends too have appreciated it immensely.
The end of the second quarter marks another $50 prize package to the person who put in the most hours during that quarter. There is still one weekend left (well, technically only Saturday) to get out there and put in the time to win.
So far in June I have:
Emma: 12.5 hours
Emily : 9 hours
If you volunteered during June and haven’t gotten your hours to me yet, please do by midnight on the 30th.
For the entire quarter:
Emma: 34 hours
Bette: 23 hours
Amy: 16 hours
Emily: 9 hours
KC: 4 hours
Olivia: 4 hours
Olivia’s Husband: 4 hours
I really want to thank all seven of you for getting out there this quarter. Even if you haven’t been able to get out yet, don’t worry! There are still six months to go with four more random drawings, one more quarter prize and then the year end prizes. Plenty of time to get hours in and win!

May 20 – 8 hours being show manager/scorer
May 21 – 3 hours returning dressage arena
May 23 – 2 hours delivering ribbons that arrived late to winners

Also I know Q1 is done and gone but if it still counts as part of my year average here are my Q1 hours:
Jan 27 – 7 hours at area group AGM and planning for year
March 1-10 – 6 hours revising prizelist for May show and submitting sanctioning information
March 10 – 2 hours helping area group with prizelist for other area show
Total Q1 = 15 hours
This is a big year for volunteering for me as I am on the exec of my area dressage group, show secretary & manager for a local dressage show, VP of the provincial dressage association, and on the board of directors for a community equestrian facility. I could probably also count lots of hours reading and responding to emails etc. but that’s hard to track so I will keep it to concrete volunteer commitments and face-to-face meetings.

Wow! I’ll have to go through these when I’m not at work and have time to get everything updated. I’ll get it done before close of the month!! Thanks for participating!!
At the beginning of the year someone else had asked what all counted and for this inaugural year of the competition I had decided that only time spent during a show would count. I haven’t read through both your lists to see if this pertains to you or not, but working jobs physically during a competition is what is added up. Any time spent outside of the actual competition is amazing and very appreciated but outside the scope of this challenge so I’ll go through it all and get it added up
