General Information

* At each rodeo, there will be a file box on the Secretary’s table and each member will have a file folder with their name on it. Please be sure to check your folder at EVERY rodeo-------this is where we leave important information for you! ALL CORRESPONDENCE as well as ENTRY FEES are to be left in your individual folder for the secretary. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PAY YOUR FEES OR ARE REQUIRED TO PAY YOUR FEES IN CASH, PLEASE SEE THE SECRETARY FOR A WRITTEN RECEIPT. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES LEAVE CASH IN YOUR FOLDER. Any PAYOUT CHECK(S) won will be placed in that individual’s personal folder. Please respect your fellow OHSRA members and only place things or retrieve things from YOUR PERSONAL FOLDER.

I am here to help and make this an enjoyable experience for ALL of us.
