Calendar Comments

The SDHSRA Annual Meeting will be held on September 28, 2024, at the Ft. Pierre Youth Center, beginning at 9:00 a.m. CST. I would greatly appreciate it if you would continue to volunteer your time to check out SDHSRA calendars to the members of this great association.
If you do not intend to help, please call or email me right away
at my home 605.433.5483/ cell 605.454.2234 or curr@gwtc.net.

Enclosed with this letter are the check-in sheets and a sample script you should give to each member. The Calendar Policy will be reviewed at the annual meeting. It is particularly important to keep track of how many calendars you are handing out to each member. Write down their name, the date, # of Calendars and a cell phone# to contact them, if need be. Each member must sell six calendars and return any unsold calendars to you or myself by March 1, 2025, to be able to rodeo in 2024-2025.

Tell your members to sell and turn in the money right away so their names get in the drawings. It is advised to mail a check or money order and DO NOT send cash. There is a QR Code that may be used for credit or debit cards for the PERSON that is PURCHASING the calendar. When using the QR Code the buyer does not need to mail in the stub as I make one for them. It is a good idea for your members to keep a record of who they sold to when using a credit or debit card. Feel free to check with me to see if I have received any money and stubs, to help you track them. Again, and I cannot stress this enough, it is very important to keep track of how many calendars you are handing out to each member. If a member is planning on selling more than 6 calendars, please only give them 10 at a time and make sure they have sent their money and stubs in or that they have given them to you to send in, before you give them any more calendars. Do this unless you know they will sell more – Use your discretion on this – you know those that sell the 30 right away, but you must be able to get those back if needed. We do not want to prevent sales but must try to keep members from holding on to calendars and not selling or turning them in until the deadline, when others need them. Please provide me with a list each month or more frequently, if you like, of the members that have checked out calendars.

Please email or call me with the number of Calendars you need before the September 28th meeting, I will have them ready for you to pick up there. If I do not hear from you, I will go off your last year’s totals. Please arrange for someone to pick up the calendars at the Annual Meeting and let me know who that is. If your contact information has changed let me know that as well and I will change it on the website.

I want to personally Thank You for helping distribute the South Dakota High School Rodeo Calendars! The Calendar Sales fund the whole SDHSRA. They help to fund our National Team, Scholarships, Prizes for members and to promote South Dakota High School Rodeo. Please make your members aware of this! Plus, they are a great archive for SD High School Rodeo.

If you need additional calendars or have any questions, please contact me at my home 605.433.5483; cell 605.454.2234 or by email at curr@gwtc.net.
