BENEFIT
RODEO’S HELD IN GONZALES
On behalf of the TYRA Board of Directors and
myself, we would like to Thank everyone who helped in any way with the
two Benefit Rodeo’s that were held in Gonzales, TX. A special thank-you
to the directors and parents who helped for countless hours setting up
barrels and poles, untying calves, pushing calves, opening gates, kept
times, announced and all of the other tiring aspects of putting on these
rodeos.
I know that we were not able to provide All Around
Awards at these benefit’s, but I think these kids that did win over all
should at least have the bragging rights.
Congratulations to the following:

LIVE
AUCTION & DANCE
This year we are going to hold a Live Auction right
after the Mandatory Contestants meeting in the arena on Tuesday July 29th,
2008. We are asking our members, past, present, future and families to
help us make this an awesome auction. If anyone has anything they
could add to the auction, it would be greatly appreciated. Just bring
it with you to the finals. As in the past, there will be a dance
featuring Alys and Rudy Band on Friday night. This dance is held as a
fund raiser for the TYRA Scholarship Fund. I hope everyone brings their
dancing shoes and helps to make this a success for the Scholarship Fund.
TACK
BINGO
Tack Bingo will be held under the Pavillion at
11:00am on Thursday. Be sure to bring your lawn chair. If anyone has
any tack, snacks, games, trinkets, or anything that would be fun to win
while playing bingo, please bring them with you as well. This is always
so much fun to play and the more stuff we have the longer we can play
“BINGO”
GENERAL
MEMBERSHIP MEETING
There will be a general membership meeting on Sat.
Aug. 2nd , 2008. The time has not been set yet for this
meeting but I am pretty sure it will be in the morning. All Rodeo clubs
are asked to send three representatives to this meeting. Please
remember to bring your voting cards with you. Also, you will need to
pay your 2009 Club Dues of $175.00 and submit your dates for the 2009
season. Please pick three dates that would work for your club in order
of first choice, second choice and third choice.
JOHNNY
POWELL SPORTSMANSHIP BALLOT
One more thing that is also included is your Johnny
Powell Sportsmanship Ballot. Please look over this ballot closely and
vote for the one member that you feel has shown outstanding
sportsmanship throughout his/her rodeo career. Remember, it is an honor
just to be nominated for this award and I would like to congratulate
these six outstanding seniors for this special honor. Please return
this Ballot with your entry on July 7th.
