ASAC Members,

As we all prepare for the Holidays and New Year, it is time to start thinking about the 2013 show season. The ASAC AOT Club will be printing the 2013 Membership Directory to be distributed at ASAC horse shows next Spring. We hope you will consider advertising your farm or business in the new directory. Ads will be sold on a first come, first serve basis at the rates below:

Please send your favorite image # of mine (Sandra Hall), Doug Shiflet or Shane Shiflet for the slide show for the convention.  Send to swhpix@hotmail.com.  Your help makes the slide show better.

Also, I need your email address…I WILL BE EMAILING YOUR AWARDS IMAGE THIS YEAR instead of mailing you a 4×6.  So, just send me your email address any time between now and the convention. I’ll also send candids.

Thanks so much for your help!
