Our monthly newsletter is coming out a little early due to the fact that we have two time sensitive events happening in October that we wanted to give our members as much of a "heads up" on as possible: the Schooling Driving Trial and The NEECA Fall Social.

FALL SOCIAL TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE

We hope you can join us for NEECA's last ALWAYS fun official event of the year! Our annual Fall Social has become a special tradition that, while bittersweet in some ways as it represents the end of yet another amazing year, allows us to come together to meet up with old friends and make new ones amongst our NEECA family.

This event usually sells out every year so we would encourage you not to wait too long before reserving your tickets. Just click here to order yours today.

ITEMS/SERVICES DONATIONS NEEDED FOR THE LIVE AND SILENT AUCTION - In addition to just being an enjoyable evening to share with friends, due to the success of the Live and Silent Auctions the Fall Social has developed into an important fundraiser for NEECA. Thanks to the generosity of the folks making donations, and enthusiastic bidding by the Fall Social attendees, the two auctions (Live and Silent) have generated thousands of dollars over the years that have helped to fund NEECA's ongoing development.

If you have an item/service you would like to donate, please contact Caroline at carolinemansfield01@gmail.com What can you donate? Pretty much anything you want, horse related or not. We have items valued from $5 to $800. New or "gently" used are welcome and appreciated. And if you are a local business, especially offering horse related products/services, this is a GREAT way to get the word out about your business! We try to give every donation a shout out (with link to your business) on our FB page, which is currently liked/followed by over 3300 people. It's the definition of a WIN WIN situation- you support NEECA and advertise your business at the same time! If you'd like to see some of the items that have already been donated to this year's auctions, just check out our FB page.
