Because of our inability to elect all the necessary officers to run the association there was a discussion held with all those in attendance about the possibility of disbanding the Intermountain Draft Horse and Mule Association and simply calling ourselves a club. In doing so there would be no insurance premiums to pay, no fund raisers to raise money, no news letters, no taxes to pay, no officers to try to elect etc, etc. As a club we would simply continue with the activities we do with everyone providing their own insurance, meals, expenses etc.
The idea of a club vrs an incorporated Association has been discussed for the last year or so in the staff and planning meetings due to the lack of interest and the lack of attendance in the last couple of years. New ideas have been attempted to recruit and grow and membership and participation continues to decline.
Those in attendance at the elections meeting were all in agreement that we did not wish to make this decision without further input from the general membership. As a result, another elections meeting was scheduled for January 25th 2014 @7:00 PM. Mountain River Vet clinic 3745 E county line rd Rigby. We intend to either elect a vice president, secretary and director, or do away with the Association. Input and or attendance is needed from all membership..
If you cannot attend, please get a hold of one of the current officers below to give input so we can make your wishes known on the 25th.
