2007 USDF Youth Executive Board Silent Auction Items
Lexington, KY (November 2, 2007) - The USDF Youth Executive Board is pleased to announce that their fifth annual silent auction will be conducted at the 2007 Adequan/USDF Annual Convention. Proceeds from the silent auction fund the Youth Convention Scholarship Program. The goals of this scholarship program are to encourage youth attendance at the convention and to provide financial assistance to four young dressage enthusiasts who wish to attend. The Adequan/USDF Annual Convention provides an excellent opportunity for youth members to become involved in USDF and to learn about dressage.
The Youth Executive Board is excited that some great items have already been donated (listed below). Last year, the Youth Executive Board raised over $5,000.
This year's silent auction will be held inside the convention trade fair. Bidding will start on Wednesday, November 28, and will close Saturday, December 1, at noon. Names of the winners will be posted at that time. Items can be picked up until noon on Sunday. The deadline for donations is November 5. For more information or to make a donation, please contact Youth Council Liaison, at youth@usdf.org or (859) 971-2277.
