Hi Ya’ll,

First many, many thanks to all who came to the fundraiser. Without your participation we could not have achieved what we did.

Many, many thanks to the core group that put in the hours and hours of meetings, phone calls, e-mails and passing out flyers as well as the hours and miles of gathering money and donations for auction.

Many, many thanks to all sponsors who in one of our worst economic times gave many things for us to auction.

Last but certainly not least many thanks to my wife whose organizational skills and tireless drive to succeed has helped us fulfill our mission.

Our passion is our family, and our family is the Scottsdale Saddle Club. Our home is Horse Lovers Park. We and other clubs could possibly lose our home to this economy. We will not lose our home and move our family without doing everything possible to save it.

Today I turned over $23,800 to the Arizona Horse Lovers Foundation. PayPal monies will be released soon which will bring our total to over $25,000. Money is still coming in and we are not sure when the donations will end but we welcome them. When we reach a final total we will publish it.

Now we need to pray that the City of Phoenix will accept what we have presented and keep the park open until June 30^th.

Thank you all,

Ross Libonati
