USPC News ONLINE Coming Soon: The first edition of USPC News ONLINE, the active version of USPC's member newsletter. We're excited
to offer this online publication to our members--you'll find lots of photos and even a video or two. Planned 'publication'
will be mid January, so stay tuned!
The Spring and
Fall issues of USPC News will mail to members; the USPC News ONLINE will be available quarterly.
New
for 2010: Going Green! To better serve our members and help global efforts
at going green, the 2010 USPC Annual Directory will be available online only to allow corporate and participating members
to access the information published in past years in a 200 page document that was expensive to produce, expensive to mail,
and not very friendly to the environment. An added
benefit to having the Directory available online is that updates – such as email address and phone number changes –
will be published regularly, making the contact information much more up to date. We will announce on the Digests and in E-News
when the Directory is available, which should be in early April. Pages needed regularly may be downloaded and printed, if
desired. Corporate Members who require a paper copy
may return the postcard included with their proxy. But please consider going green!

| Let's Communicate! | Pony Club Gallops
on to Facebook!
The United States Pony Club has recently launched an Official Facebook Page. Facebook is a social networking site that allows
its members to connect and communicate freely with friends, and others who work, study, and live around them. Our official
page will allow us to inform our members about breaking news, upcoming events, and hot topics in the industry. We will be
regularly posting new discussion points, photo albums, and interesting facts about USPC and its members. This new page adds
to the USPC social media outreach effort, joining our Ning site, as a center for Pony Club members to share their ideas, photos, videos and friendship. Facebook is free and open to all our members, former members, prospective members, and those
who are just interested in learning more about USPC. This page is a great way to get more involved with Pony Club. You will
now have the opportunity to meet new people, get news, and communicate with the national office in an easy and fun way. We
encourage you and your members to join today and let us know how we can help you get more involved! Become a fan of the Official USPC Facebook page! Mary Pierson, USPC Communications Director |
Hey Clubbers! Did you know that "North
Central Prarie Region" and "Wayne Dupage Hunt Pony Club" both have FACEBOOK pages too? Be sure to join all three sites to keep updated of what is happening at the National
level, as well as your region and your club !
