We need a few more volunteers to help with the upcoming CDS East Bay chapter shows at La Jolla Equestrian Center on August 20 and 21. Volunteers are especially needed at Sunday’s show. You can volunteer for a half day or full day, and there are a variety of positions available. We will be providing lunch for full day volunteers, water for all volunteers both days, snacks for everyone, and much appreciation for all the volunteers who help to make our shows possible! With every four hours of volunteering, you are eligible for an entry in a drawing for next year’s adult amateur clinic lottery or a drawing for a $150 grant towards the CDS Annual Championships or CDS Northern Junior Championships. The positions available include: - Ring Steward – Supervise show rings and warm up areas, Keep show running on time, by making sure all competitors know their position in the queue and the official show time
