Best Wishes for the New Year.

From all the volunteers and youth of the Epona Integrated Riding Foundation I would like to wish you, our sponsors and supporters for the coming New Year and to thank you for all your past support.

Last year we had over 18 sponsors contribute enough funds for 31 camp placements.

Let's try to increase that to 45 so that we can have 3 weeks of camp.

Our priority is the raising of $10,000. towards our transportation budget.

We've received over $500. from our last newsletter request and the Lakeshore Kiwanis have donated $1,500.

One of our latest fund raisers has been with the selling of handsanitizers.www.crayoma.com

These have done well in one of our school settings and we will be contacting our corporate sponsors to arrange similar sales availability.

Our musical ride will be sometime in the spring and dates and time will be forthcoming in the next newsletter.

We are very proud of the accomplishments of our students. Please check out our Achievements Page as to some of their awards.

Our Dedicated Committee 

Last year the committee was put together.  It was seen as a necessity and natural progression to develop a group of people who would see to the day to day operation of Epona. 

The Committee Members are:

Jackie Poirier.  Jackie is the equestrian director and is responsible for putting together the amazing musical rides.  This year it will take place in the spring….stay tuned for the date.

Gabe Map.  Gabe manages the transportation of the children and animates at the ranch.  He is also our main liaison with the parents.

Melanie Raymond.  Mel is exceptional at taking our minutes and keeping us on track during our meetings.  She has also translated our forms and is in the process of translating our website and this newsletter.

Sandu Strunga.  Sandu manages our clubhouse and just about everything else that I either forget or avoid.

Darlene Job:  Darlene helps with the animation and supervises the younger children.

Peter Desmier.  Peter is the “money man”.  He devotes every waking moment (and I’m sure some of his sleeping ones) to fundraising and finding sponsors for Epona..

Donations to The Epona Foundation

To our friends of Epona,

For those of you who received the e-mail requesting your support of $50.00 towards our transportation fund, it is not too late to send it in.

Many of our supporters have found donating through Canadahelps.org to be quick, reliable and secure.

Please take a moment to make that donation and support a program you know to be invested in our youth of today. On behalf of our youth, families and volunteers we thank you for making this program possible.

Peter Desmier
Epona Foundation.
