UAWR Benefit Ride - April
19, 2009
The Under the Angel’s Wings Rescue Benefit ride was a
wonderful success! The weather turned out to be the perfect day. The sun
was shining it was not too hot and it was just beautiful! We had two
separate rides and I think everyone truly enjoyed themselves and kept
talking about how much fun they had.
The San Bernardino
County Search & Rescue was also there having a training day so we got
to meet a lot
of them along with their Coordinator
Dave who we talked a
lot with throughout the day and he passed along brochures and info
about UAWR
to all of the Search and Rescue people in order to help spread the word
about UAWR.
Thank you Dave for all your help and support. The best part was I ended up
knowing a few people who were with the Search and Rescue and I ran into my
BEST friend from kindergarten
while we were there it was amazing to see her and her horse Tucker who I
had not seen in what 13 years..? He is just as cute as always! A walk down
memory lane....
The raffle prizes were great. It was AMAZING what we had donated for the
Raffle there were :
Cowboy Magic Products Thank you Jim Cummings of Charmar
Land & Cattle Co/Cowboy Magic for your kind and generous donation!
Thank you also to Geno the farrier who got us in contact with Jim.
We had around 20 of the decorative plates with horses on them I personally
won Native Dancer. Thank you to Louise & Ken for donating all of
those.
There were some really neat Dog and Cat record keeping books that were a
great hit and scarves also, Thank Rose Leavitt
for donating those. I also thank Linda & Margie who purchased the
books that were left over at the end of the day.
We had some cool tail bags, Thank you to Linda Powell for those.
If I have forgotten someone or other items that were a part of the raffle
I apologize there was SOOO
much stuff I think everyone walked away with at least something from the
raffle which was great!
The bake sale was yummmmy
and I would like to say Thank you to Sue Zurawik,

she is the official UAWR
function carrot cake maker from now on cause it was GOOOOOOOOOOOOODD!!!!!!
I took several pieces home for myself thank you!
We can not forget the WONDERFUL lunch we all had!!! YUM Chicken and Beef
Fajitas. I think everyone went back for seconds, thirds, and maybe even
more but who was counting..... lol.
