FROM THE DESK, QUAD, TRUCK, HORSE OF MARK BENCZE G.M.

Judging by the weather it's hard to believe that spring and summer will ever arrive but CCA Rodeo carries on!

Tisdale kicks off the season again. The crew at Tisdale are seasoned and they always have a top end event to start us up.

The weather claimed Pierson this year. Even though it's an indoor event the snow conditions make it next to impossible to get the dirt in and the parking and ground around the arena will not be dry enough.

They had a tough decision to make but Sandy Drier tells me they are back on for 2014.

A reminder to committees to tell the office if you have any special functions or presentations at your event, we can include it your entry information and in our press releases.

The Canadian Cowboys Association is creating a special Honorary Card for this year's 50th Anniversary.

We would like you to send the names and contact info of past contestants and committee members so we can send them an invitation to the events for 2013.

This is open to all past and present contestants/ members and committee members.

It’s important also to send names of original and important people who were a part of your event if you feel they should be recognized with a Gold Card or Builders Award..

We are in the process of finalising the plans for the year and we’ll get them out to everyone through the paper and website.

Also can you let the office know if you are planning any kind of celebration.

The CCA is offering to help out in any way we can.

The CCA was started by the founders with the following objectives in the bylaws: "The objectives of the association are: (a) To organize rodeo contestants for their mutual benefit and protection. (b) To cooperate, insofar as possible, with the management of all rodeos at which members contest.

(c) To protect members against unfairness on the part of any rodeo management; (d) To bring about honest advertising by the rodeo association so that the public may rely on the truth of advertised events in which it is claimed that members of the association will participate. (e) To work for the betterment of conditions and of rules governing rodeo events in which members of the association take part."

We are working on long term goals to meet and carry out the objectives for growing and improving the CCA for contestants.

Remember to support and do business with our corporate sponsors. Their support of CCA rodeo is important.

Also support the rodeos you attend during the season, local committees rely on gate revenue and concession revenue to fund the rodeos that keeps the CCA as the best and biggest association.

Good luck and be safe.

Mark

The CCA Office is switching to Direct Deposit rather than physical cheques for the Rodeo Payout. In order to accomplish this we need to collect banking information from all of our members. We will require all competing members to send us a VOID Cheque. They can do this 2 ways ... by mail or by giving a VOID cheque to the Rodeo Secretary at a Rodeo when they pay their entry fees. The Secretaries will have a spreadsheet that they will fill out, once the member gives the Secretary the VOID cheque to hand in to the office. The Office will keep this VOID cheque on file and directly deposit winnings from every rodeo.

This set rake draw will then be posted at the onsite rodeo office. The rake will occur based on the number of contestants on paper and not by the number of contestants that have actually ran. Turn outs, vets, and medicals will not affect when the rake will occur. (ie: Regardless of how many turn outs there are, if the judge has set the rake to occur after every 7 contestants, the rake will occur after the 7th contestant listed in the draw, not after the 7th contestant has actually ran) Appendix A – Membership Dues The following is the new schedule of membership

CCA RODEO NEWS APRIL-PAGE 13

Wingate for Youth of Rodeo Mentorship Program The Canadian Cowboys Association is excited to partner up with one of our long time supporters, the Wingate Hotel in Regina, to develop the Wingate for Youth of Rodeo Mentorship Program.

Laura Armitage, General Manager, and Heather MacBean-Leitner, Sales Manager, have a soft spot for youth and the CCA, a great combination.

Youth can get an application from the Wingate Hotel or the CCA office and fill out a brief questionnaire. The applicant is screened for their involvement and passion for rodeo and then those selected will have their profile in the CCA newspaper and given a free junior membership.

These youth selected will also be groomed and asked to be future mentors for kids that do not have access to rodeo.

The intent is to have our Youth of Rodeo be ambassadors for the CCA and the sport of rodeo and the lifestyle by attending school and camp visits and other special events during the year and hopefully at the Finals.

The CCA thanks Wingate and encourages our members to support them whenever you are in need of rooms when in the city.
