=> LOCATION CHANGE FOR EUROPEAN JUDGES SEMINAR
Hopefully by now you have heard the news about the upcoming ApHC European Judges Seminar that is scheduled for March 9-10, 2001 in Germany. We have received many positive comments regarding the seminar and are pleased that we are able to offer this opportunity in Europe.
Due to such great response, our seminar has now outgrown the original location we selected for the seminar. Therefore, the new location that has been selected is Lakefield Farm near Dusseldorf, Germany (approximately 2 miles from Dusseldorf Airport and 20 miles from Essen, site of Equitana).
For more information, please contact Willi Kahlenberg, Griesbarth 72, 41179 Monchengladbach, Germany, Phone/Fax: 49-02161-571986, Mobile: 49-0171-9031277, e-mail: [mailto:onlydlon@aol.com] or contact the ApHC Judges' Coordinator Holly Nelson at (208) 882-5578 ext. 244, e-mail: [mailto:show-judges@appaloosa.com].

=> APHC MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS
ApHC membership counts for 2000 have already set a new record high and the official count is not yet in. All work that is submitted to the Appaloosa Horse Club during the
last of December may not be completed until the month of January. The reason for this is some of the work lacks requirements and waits for customer response; therefore we are unable to give an exact 2000 membership count at this time.
=> As of 1/25/2001 total 2000 memberships = 33,017
=> Total 1999 memberships = 32,716
The membership renewals for 2001 continue to come into the office and as of 1/25/2001 we have updated 20,070 memberships. Lifetime Memberships continue to grow; we
currently have 597 Lifetime Members.
