We are so happy to have you interested in Texas Youth Rodeo Association (TYRA), the oldest youth rodeo association operating!  We are looking forward to a very exciting 2012 rodeo season and want to welcome you back to the association or if this is your first year with us we look forward to meeting you soon!

2012 RODEO SEASON

The board has already meet several times in getting the next rodeo season ready, I believe everything is about completed and very excited about the upcoming season.  To rejoin TYRA, you will need to send in your $60.00 membership dues by January 15, 2012.  There will be a $25.00 last fee if paid after January 15.  If you are a new member you will not be charged a late fee and may join at any time.  Old and new members please fill out the membership form and remember to look on the back to have the liability release signed and notarized. Of course new members you are always welcome!  Renewing members will not need to send in a birth certificate only new members.

2012 RODEO SCHEDULE

Enclosed is the 2012 rodeo schedule.  As in the past, everyone can attend the benefits, and then out of the twenty rodeos scheduled you can pick the ten you would like to attend.  At the end of the season the top twenty five will qualify for the finals in July.  Please remember the two benefits will be different this year – it will be a long go which you choose which day to ride, Friday or Saturday, then there will be a short go bringing the top fifteen (15) to the short go.  There will be 300 points available during the weekend – 100 in long go, 100 short go, and 100 for the average.  If you have any questions on this please contact Anne and I will be glad to help.

2012 QUEENS CONTEST

   This year’s contest will be April 27, 2012, Saturday morning of our second benefit.  After receiving your membership application, you will receive information on the queen’s contest in your membership package.  You may also look on the website.  If we do not have more than five (5) girls that enter we will not have a contest this year.

 

TYRA RAFFLE TICKETS

For the 2012 season we will be selling raffle tickets.  We will be having a contest this year for the top raffle ticket sellers:  1^st place will receive $300, 2^nd place will receive $200 and 3^rd will receive $100.  Each family must sale $200/20 tickets.  The first $200/20 tickets will be due, postmarked by April 1, 2012 to the TYRA Secretary or in the hands of a Board member.  If they are not turned in by this time the member will become ineligible and not be able to compete until they are turned in.

 

TYRA JACKET PROGRAM

To receive a TYRA Jacket a member may purchase it outright from CH Graphics, or collect $500 per member in sponsorship to receive a free letter jacket.  The $200 raffle ticket sales per family can be counted toward one member’s $500 sponsorship level to qualify that member for a jacket.   

COGGINS PAPERS

Please send a copy of current coggins papers with membership form.

FIRST SEMESTER GRADES

If you have a copy of your first semester report card please include with membership form.  OR you may have the school notarize the form included. (there is no reason to do both)

From all of the TYRA Board of Directors we wish all of you and your family a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!  We look forward to hearing from all of you!
