First, let me wish the members of Insallah a very Happy New Year. This is a time for new

beginnings, new ideas and insights. With our industry in a state of transition (as is the

world), perhaps it makes sense for some goal-setting and identification of those things

which this club would like to accomplish in the upcoming year. These, of course, are up

to you: our members.

There are the obvious – increase our bank account, increase our membership, make a dif-

ference and provide support of those who share our ideals. But what else can we do

within our world to make it better?

Positive press is always good. AHA has several ‘awards’ such as Best Club Newsletters

and individual club, Regional and National member awards that we can aim for. Reach-

ing out locally is always a great way to introduce yourself, our club and our breed. Con-

sider inviting a group, perhaps a Girl Scout troop, over and talk about the joys and respon-

sibility of Arabian-horse ownership. Just petting a horse is a joy many do not have. Cou-

ple that with the beauty and personality of the Arabian and you will have people who will

always think about the happy day they were introduced to our breed and to you. Perhaps you have an extra copy of a book, artwork or magazines? Donate them to be

sold by the club on eBay. Perhaps there are other items that you have that could be sold

there, as well.

Since we’re an Internet club and not bound by geographic locations, we all have the op-

portunity to volunteer to work the shows and the rides in our local areas. One of the prob-

lems our organizations face is the cost of putting on an event. A volunteer at any Arabian

event helps all of us, not just the immediate organizations. Plus, if the group you work

with understands that you belong to Insallah, you may find potential new members for

Insallah, not to mention gratitude to our club.

Certainly we have the talent, knowledge and resources within our club to promote, guide

and enhance the Arabian horse experience. Give it some thought ~ what can we do to

make a difference to our Club, our Community and our breed?
