August has turned out to be a great month for the WHIA as far as getting new members. As you can tell from the new member listings we have been sending you, we are bringing in some really wonderful people in the horse industry.
Please take a few minutes when we send out the new member listings to contact them and welcome them to our group.

They coach little league teams so they can make contacts, they go out to various outings so that they can make contacts, and they are not shy in picking up the phone and saying “Hi” to a total stranger. “Networking,” as someone once said, only works if you work at it.
