PACIFIC HOOF CARE PRACTITIONERS ANNUAL MEETING AUGUST 2010
I just came from our first Annual meeting for Pacific Hoof Care Practitioners. It was held at Embassy suites in El Segundo CA the 12th to the 15th of August. This was set up by Jennifer Reinke Burns and it must have taken a lot of work so thank you so much Jennifer.
It started out on Thursday afternoon with a Board meeting where we got a few things ironed out. We have some new things added to our training program to make it better.
Please go to the website for updates on the Training steps.
This is no easy task. So many things to work out!!!!!

The next morning we got right back in for more board meeting and later also a mentors meeting with great input and suggestions from our mentors. But at noon the fun started. We had a nice lunch with meet and Greet for all our members. Debbie from Easy Care and Marcia from Equi Cast attended so we were well represented. Our student member list is growing rapidly so we had a lot of new faces along with old familiar once. All our donated items where laid out for viewing. It looked like a Hoof Care Providers Christmas wish list.

So many generous businesses donated items to our fundraiser. A huge Thank You goes out to all of them.

We finally got out in the evening and ended up at Beaches restaurant for dinner. It was located right off the beach and some of us got a nice little walk on the beach at sunset ( Me and Jennifer Borchard) It was a prefixed dinner and we all ate too much. We ended pretty early as we had another long day ahead of us.
