Donation to Trails

[connie B Berto <cberto@juno.com>]

When Doyle first told me about the proposed $5.00 donation at the trade
show door, he stated that those who had paid to attend the convention
definitely would have free entry to the T.S.  Something I didn't know is
that there is a substantial number who do not, or will not, pay the
convention fee but do come to our terrific trade show.   Doyle said that
it will be clearly posted that the $5. will go to the Trails Fund.  I got
the impression that it would be a one-time fee but that's not up to me to
decide.   I think it's a good idea and worth trying.   ('Way to go,
Sportack!!) 
   Bob Morris' posting about the Trails Fund is right on target.   This
year (1999) there were a few disbursements from the Trails Fund for
attendance at important conventions/symposiums, including at least one
that will be held in early 2000.   This presence is becoming increasingly
important, and I am delighted that so many AERC members are speaking up
on access issues, USFS regulations, and even just general attendance at
meetings.
    On a related trail matter, in the next day or so I will be posting
some info about the proposed regulations about certified weed-free feed. 
 Let me just say right now that a meeting has been tentatively scheduled
on this subject, with USFS people and all the equestrians we can muster,
on Feb. 15, 2000, in Sacramento.  More details later.    Regards,  Connie
Berto (AERC Trails Committee Chair)
