The meeting was held at the United States Pony Club building on January 26. There were 8 youth members present, 4 adults, 1 leader and one guest speaker. President Alex Browning called the meeting to order.
He first presented the old business, which was the mop pony delivery and cornhold tournament. Then he moved on to new business. The bylaws were written up by the members and parents. Contact Jessica for a complete set of the bylaws.
The group then took a break for lunch, which was Pizza and drinks.
