It's important to note that any parent of a current PC member can be a sponsor. As a sponsor, you are expected to attend sponsor meetings and to vote on policies and practices that apply to our Club. If you wish to be a sponsor, please contact Stephanie Doubek and fill out a sponsor form and pay the $1 fee.
If you don't feel that you could attend periodic sponsor meetings, it creates a difficulty for the Club. We need a quorum of sponsors in order to conduct business, so if we schedule a meeting and not enough sponsors attend, we can't vote on anything. Please read the information below from United States Pony Club regarding the definition and role of a sponsor. If your child is an active member, please consider participating as a sponsor of the Club - your involvement is welcome and necessary for our Club to meet the needs of its membership.
