Benefit for Iris Cooley and Jeff Golberg
Dec 15th 2007 at Aspenhill Ranch

I personally would like to thank the Midwesttrailgaiters.com and OHA (Oregon Horse Association) to name a few - and SO Many volunteers. Many people donated their time and gave items to help make this Benefit be a huge success (the list is 3 pages long). This will help out both Jeff and Iris this Holiday season. Iris was released from the Nursing home Dec 28th and Jeff is home healing with a few setbacks but doing better. It was a blizzard type weather day with I believe a 4' accumulation but we still had a large turnout (only 2 minivans got stuck in the driveway) and the silent auction was a great success as many wonderful items were sold including beautiful handmade quilts and even a new saddle! We had ponyrides in the arena - Thank you Jill for the use of your Trakaener Gelding MAX and my walking pony Sender was awesome...the kids loved the horses wearing their santa hats and the many rides they gave without a fuss. Thank you Barb and Carrie for helping with the pony rides and keeping the kids safe! --- Again a big THANK YOU to all
