WELCOME

In this issue of the High Hopes Magazine, we are celebrating our community: participants, volunteers, and donors. The pages are full of their stories, accomplishments and more! The annual student Horse Show Days at the end of May were full of festive laughter and huge smiles. The Gala on June 10th was an evening of food, dancing, and cheer! On June 21st, we celebrated our outgoing Trustees, Scott Douglas and Jeff Ridgway, welcomed our incoming Trustees, Chris Berger, and Wendy Visgilio, and recognized the Sally Aubrey Award recipients, past and present.

The future holds some exciting projects for High Hopes. This fall, we will present an updated strategic plan. This plan will provide vision and direction for the immediate future. Part of that plan will be the celebration of our 50th Anniversary in 2024. All of our activities in the next year will be infused with the history of High Hopes. From stories to timelines, we plan to celebrate this milestone all year long. If you or a family member have a story to share, please reach out to me directly at kstalsburg@highhopestr.org.

Thank you for being a part of the wonderful things that happen at High Hopes. Enjoy reading all of our latest happenings and be sure to read the monthly e-newsletter, News from The Barn. The power of horse-human interaction improves lives and you make it happen!
