More Information



CMDA held it’s annual meeting and year-end award banquet on January 10 at the town hall in Pownal. Members provided a wonderful potluck meal with hot dishes ranging from lasagna to chicken divan accompanied by salads, breads, and cheesecake. As members arrived they were encouraged to participate in an equine trivia game, the prize for which was a black dressage pad embroidered with white hibiscus flowers donated by board member Heather Webster. Congratulations to Mary-Jo Foley who answered 15 of 16 questions correctly to win!

 

Following the meal, the annual meeting commenced. Outgoing president Cheryl Peaslee ran the meeting, which included discussion of a new logo as our old logo is so degraded it can no longer be reproduced well. 2015 show dates were shared with the membership: May 9 at Safe Haven in Durham, August 1 at Pittston Fair Grounds, and our Kür for a Cure show September 12 at Snowfields in Pownal. Kür manager Heather Webster shared the success of this year’s fundraising event–$8,000 for the Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing–and appealed to the membership for more volunteer help in 2015.

 

Elections followed; congratulations to new president Carol Poulin-Taylor and continuing vice president Wadean Chadwick. The terms for current secretary Celeste Chapman and treasurer Suzanne Crowell continue until next year. Board Member appointees include Jana Christman, Karen Dewitt, Rebecca Morse, Selma Powers and Heather Webster.

 

The Award portion of the day began with a “surprise” guest speaker, our own outgoing president, Cheryl Peaslee. In an emotional presentation, Cheryl spoke about her journey volunteering in the Maine Dressage Society and in Central Maine Dressage Association. She recalled not only her first MDS meetings and volunteering as secretary, but also CMDA’s not so distant past with only five members working to keep the club alive. Through Cheryl’s leadership and exemplification of volunteering, the club has grown to include seventy members. Appealing to the members to “become part of the solution and lend a helping hand,” Cheryl shared the fun and rewarding side of volunteering, especially when everyone understands that “The Key is you have to work together. One volunteer does not do it by [his or her self]. It takes a team to do what we have done.” 

 

Right after her speech Cheryl revealed the previously hidden spread of awards. In addition to ribbons, customized picture frames, embroidered saddle pads, and grooming bags and feed pans filled with smaller “goodies” covered the lengthy award table. CMDA, certainly rewarded those who committed to earning and submitting scores for year end awards this year!



The following volunteers were also recognized and received a lovely, silver heart pendent necklace: Susan de Gozzaldi, Heather Webster, Celeste Chapman, Wadean Chadwick, Becky Morse, Jane Crocke, Gail Stone, Selma Powers, Jen& Hannah Poulin-Novaria & family, Suzanne Crowell, Anne Hammond and Mary-Jo Foley.
