Rod & I just got back last night from a trip to OK and TX. We had been down a few times before, but this time since we were going right by the AMHA office, I wanted to stop in to drop a couple of things off.
The staff there is super friendly and it was so nice to put faces to the names that we see in the MHW or hear over the phone. They made us feel so welcome and gave us a royal tour of the whole office. We must have met pretty much everyone there!! I really felt that those with whom I spoke were very interested in what we thought about different aspects of the organization.
Betty told me that they were very relieved to be getting caught up on all the work, even with all the year end work coming in. She is very excited about the new venture - sample Miniature Horse World magazine to be used for promotions/marketing/public relations. I believe it will come about some time in the spring.
I think they (both the BOD and the office staff) have made great progress over the last couple of years in sorting out some of the previous issues that plagued the organization.
I would highly recommend that if anyone has the opportunity to be in the area, that you stop by. They are genuine caring people.
I also want to have the opportunity to visit the AMHR office at some point. We just don't get to be in the area very often, but this too will come about some day.
