Dear High Hopes Family, Our 20th Anniversary Year has been a year of continuing achievement and growth.

The excellence of our organization has enabled us to be selected as the site of the Equestrian Games for the 1995 Special Olympics World Games. This is an honor which has come to us because of the hard work and dedication of our riders and their families, our volunteers, our founders and governing boards, and our staff Our program operated year-round, with two primary JO-weekprograms,five-week winter and summer programs, and seven weeks of summer camp. We served 150 riders in our JO-week programs.

We also served over 55 inner city youth through summer field trips.

We closed the 20th year with the inclusion of a New London inner city class in our fall program and increasing our fall roster to include new riders.

1 am repeatedly humbled by the outpouring of support for High Hopes, from throughout the communities whose people we serve. That support continues to come in so many, varied, and wonderful ways - in time and talent volunteered, in treasure and gifts in kind donated, in facilities enhanced and cared for, in landscape planted and tended, in an ever-stronger herd of donated horses working faithfully and patiently with our riders.

Thank you all for making High Hopes possible. Through our joint efforts we are enriching the lives of some very special and very dedicated people.

Administrative Secretary Chip Mcilwain

Sincerely,

Caretaker
