PREZ SEZ
The Prez Sez
The Prez Says,
The brilliance and warmth of our sun this morning is proclaiming spring is about to be 'sprung'. We are fast approaching the annual vernal equinox, and the changing of our clocks back to longer daylight for afternoon and evening rides! ...Saturday night, March 12, turn'em ahead before you bed.
Continuing on the upbeat, our Melda continues to make great progress in her rehab...and she has vowed to get back in the saddle, missing it and her many friends. While she is still working hard at the California Rehab Facility in La Mesa, Melda enjoys taking breaks to take phone calls or visit with friends and family. The phone number for California Rehab Facility is 460-4444, and a direct line to Melda's room is 713-1615. Mary Ann reports that Melda loves to hear from or see you!
More sunshine...Gayla Robles, PVMR's ambassador of good cheer, is ready to hear from you about any members whose world can be brightened up a bit. When you become aware of any member who can benefit from a PVMR hug or warm wish, pass it on to Gayla at 619-749-4358, or e-mail her . To this end, Wayne Oberreuter will be expunging a nagging shoulder injury on Feb. 28, with the assistance of a surgeon...we wish him a successful procedure and rapid, complete recovery!
Mary Ann Cummings, our membership chair, continues to receive renewal memberships along with new members! PVMR has 150 households presently listed on its Feb 14, 2011, revised list! "Old" members, who have not yet renewed, are reminded to put PVMR on their 'to do' list. Mary Ann also stocks and sells PVMR clothing which you often see proudly worn by members. You can reach Mary Ann at her PVMR boutique, 619-701-4219, or e-mail .
PVMR has a new 2011 calendar, replete with traditional and new PVMR activates to present at our March 9th, 6:00 Pizza Social Hour and Meeting, at the Descanso Town Hall.
Included in the new colander is the happy news that Jan and Marge will once again treat members to their Irish Corn Beef and Cabbage lunch on Saturday, March 19th, immediately following our monthy ride! The ride will be in the saddle departing at 10:00 am, from the Sweetwater River Bridge parking area, in Cuyamaca Park. Jody, our trail boss, will lead us on a glorious spring preview ride of 2 1/2 hours, bringing us back plenty hungry. Members to bring their own favorite beverage. Let Jan know you can attend so she and Marge use big enough cook pots! phone 445-1861, or e-mail Jan at . The Sweetwater River Bridge is located on the east side of HGY 79, about 1/2 mile north of Green Valley Campground.
March isn't over yet...Not until you seen, camped, or rode out at Vallecitos Days Celebration. While this isn't a PVMR event is remains a popular must see/do event for many members! Contact Terry Jorgensen for information about this three day happening...March 25th to March 27th. Call Terry at 760-789-5185.
Any day now, Suzi Kirkwood, will be announcing the how to plan and reserve your 'Magic' week at Heartbar Horse camp, high up in the pristine areas of the San Bernardino Mountains. Mark you calendars, and schedule your vacation time for July 14th to July 20th. Suzi has reserved and secured the campground! Stay tuned for more information...or if you are too excited to wait, contact Suzi at 445-3555 or e-mail .
Those of you stalwart members of PVMR who both attended and found ways to make sunny and warm memories of our President's Day weekend at Stagecoach will get to share you 'stories' with or without embellishments at our March meeting...it's the least the membership can do for your 'bravery'!!?? Your lead mule has his own happy story to share thanks to the heroic rescue of his horse by Cyndi Denny, Charlene Phelps, and Rhonda Chabot, equine "Florence Nightingale's all"!
See all of you at the Pizza Social,
Keep safe, and come hungry!

MINUTES OF GENERAL MEETING
FEBRUARY 9, 2011
6:30 P.M. Guest Speaker Libby Lyman talked to us about natural behaviors and took questions from members present.
The meeting was called to order at 7:20 P.M. by our president, Larry Pustinger.
Mike O’Grady led us in the flag salute.
Larry noted that more pizza will be needed. We ran out again. E mail Larry if you want to contribute something to bring for the social part of our meeting.
Guest: Karen Richmond New Member, Fred Klicka, was introduced.
It was voted that minutes of the last meeting would not be read.
Treasurer’s Report: Dues money did not get to Wendy in January so it will be included in the February’s report. Current Balance is $4849.83.
OLD BUSINESS
Because of the difficulty hearing in the building, Larry suggested that members stand when speaking and remember to be respectful when someone else is speaking.
Calendar Meeting: The date is February 11 and the Clark Ranch. It will be a pot luck and BYOB. Activities and rides will be planned.
Campout at Stagecoach: President’s Weekend. There will be free use of the clubhouse for Friday and Saturday nights sharing with Lakeside Frontier Riders. No pot luck on Sunday. At this time there are no corrals available. 2:00 P.M. is the check in time. Ernie Smith is the host and contact person.
NEW BUSINESS
New Ride Idea: Mark Gassert suggested that there be a ride rating system and a committee to initiate this as well as a way to communicate rides coming up so people will know who’s riding and how difficult they will be. Mark, Wendy, Cathy and Larry volunteered to be on this committee.
Facebook vs. Website: There was discussion about the pro’s and con’s of both. Ernie can create a protected password for accessing our website. Cathy mentioned we could post rides in the events section of the Website.
Buddy System: Larry would like a buddy system to call members who do not receive e mail and notify them of events, rides etc. There are 10 members who aren’t on line.
Roof for Descanso Town Hall: Peggy shared that mixed nuts will be for sale around Descanso. Containers will be set up in various locations.
Membership Chair: Mary Ann was not present. Members can contact her to buy jackets or other PVMR items.

Announcements:
Peggy will be a grandmother of a grandson. Jamie went sleigh riding in Minnesota in January.
