DRIVE UPDATES


COME ONE-- COME ALL TO THE 33rd-Year GSCA ANNUAL MEETING and AUCTION Sun. Feb. 19!!!  
by Connie Moses

It's that time of year again when horse and carriage lovers get together for fun, socializing, dinner, entertainment and the chance to bid on interesting and useful items! This ANNUAL MEETING and FUNdraising Auction is the Club's only fundraiser and is a big hit every year!

Dinner (12 noon) is once again at the Puritan Backroom, featuring their widely popular chicken tenders and greek salad, entrees and dessert. GSCA will again cover part of the meal price, so your cost is only $16 per meal. The Puritan is also famous for their Mudslides, which you may try out during the cocktail hour beginning at 11AM!

We are delighted this year to have John Greenall join us from the Greenall Carriage House in West Windsor, Vermont; he is sure to enlighten and entertain us with his wealth of knowledge and experience. For over 40 years John has been involved with pleasure and combined driving and competing all over the U.S., and he judges for both the ADS and USEF. John has traveled internationally for driving clinics and FEI endurance races, and he has competed a tandem for over a decade at every major driving show in the East. He has driven single, pair, tandem, unicorn and four-in-hand using many of the carriages in his collection.

SIGNUP FORM & FLYER ARE INCLUDED IN HERE for your convenience-- print out and mail your reservation NOW while you're thinking about it!  Must be mailed by Feb. 2. Remember, a terrific buffet dinner this year will be partially covered by your Club, so your MEAL RESERVATION IS ONLY $16 !

GSCA AUCTION !!!!

WE INVITE ALL-- PAST MEMBERS, NEW OR WANNABES, FRIENDS and FAMILY-- to join in this GSCA off-season pleasure event!!  Our famous AUCTION is always fun and funny and an unparalleled chance to find bargains on various interesting and useful items! These are things you just can't do without!

Please don't forget to bring your own usable items to donate for the Auction, whether they are horse-related or not.
