We thought it might be fun to take a field trip and incorporate it with our next chapter meeting. Therefore, our next chapter meeting on March 8 will be at the Autry Museum in Griffith Park. Bring friends or family!! Bring someone you think might want to become a member! We will be getting a guided tour from a docent.

The night was tense as the time drew near then Hamburger Marys crazed as Bingo Boy Jeffrey yelled “What Are We playing?” The crowd went wild and replied “BINGO!” Then without hesitation came “And How Do We Play?” Responding on queue the crowd yelled “Loudly!!” Thus began the night.

Let’s talk about excitement and the blood rush of competing for the very first time and being booed all at once. Yes folks! Booed! First things first, I couldn’t be anymore excited about the Rodeo, ever since Greg Brown and Chris Hulse asked me to join in October of 2007 I have experienced nothing but genuine friendship and camaraderie from all the members I have met, THANK YOU!

The following lists the major changes to the IGRA Rodeo Rule Book for the 2008 Rodeo Year:

Entry Fees have been increased from $23 to $25 per day per event.

Rodeo Livestock: now specifies grouping of steers for Camp events and Chute Dogging. It also increased the shoulder height limit of goats from 25 inches to 30 inches.

Miss Spur LaJingles is still in quarantine from the clap (get better soon honey!), so I will be filling in for her by telling you of my travels and duties as Miss GLAC. The life of an after 40 debutant is a busy one... Royalty life is not for the weak!
