New! Volunteer Requirement for ADA Awards

ADA is a volunteer run organization that is dedicated to providing opportunities to its members. To encourage members to participate we have added a volunteer requirement to be eligible for year end awards. This is a great opportunity to give back to the club.  In order to be eligible for the year end awards ADA will now require 3 hours of volunteer service. This must be done during the current awards year (1/1/10-12/1/10).Volunteer hours after 12/1/10 will count towards the 2011 award year. This may be done by the competitor or someone else appointed by the competitor in their stead. These hours may include 3 hours of volunteer time at ADA horse shows, clinics or other club sponsored events. These hours may also be completed by getting sponsorships and/or ads for the club. Each $50 worth of sponsorship and/or ads is equal to1 volunteer hour.

These hours must be completed no later than December 1st of awards year. Thank you in advance for doing your part to support our club!
