The Cowboy Church with the Teen Challenge boys was truly a heart felt experience. We want to thank all of your hard working club members for there efforts. We can't wait until the next one.

     Panhandle Peacemakers would like to announce that registration for our Teen Challenge Series begins April 1st. This three part series will take place May 15th – 17th, September 18th-20th, and October 2nd –4th. Each three day event will consist of four double points matches in a single weekend. That’s right, FOUR matches in a single weekend! The first match will be on Friday night, with two matches held on Saturday and one match held on Sunday. Due to the logistics of this new format, entry is limited to the first 50 riders who sign up.
     As many of you know, Panhandle Peacemakers is a not for profit organization, and all funds in excess of match expenses are donated to Teen Challenge Boys Ranch in Bonifay, Florida. Our goal for 2009 is to raise $6000 for Teen Challenge. We invite you to be a part of this effort.
    The match flier and online entry form are posted on our website, www.panhandlepeacemakers.com. Please contact me at panhandlepeacemakers@yahoo.com or 850-593-6843 for additional information.

I must have missed the posting on the Teen Challange...when is it?

Capt. Coleslaw: Registration for the first match will open on April 1st. Are the dates bad for you? We were hoping you could come up and play with us.

Dah sorry I just looked at the dates.

Is registration still open for the Teen Challenge match? If so can we join?

Sorry I could not make the ride and party, sounds like everyone had a good time. Ed took the day off while Lynda and I did the Competiive Trail Ride at Coldwater and rode in the rain all day long!!!!!!!!!!!! See you at practice.

Wanted to thank everyone that made it to the ride Sunday. The weather held long enough for a nice 3 hour ride and also long enough to get everything cooked have good visit and load horses to leave. All the food brought was wonderful and it was just a great day. If you didn't make it I'm sorry but maybe next year. again thanks for coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, it was great seeing all of you guys in Jacksonville. Dennis and Lily, thanks for being so kind to us. I am certainly happy at the fact that Denise and I were able to make some new friends. You guys are wonderful. Thanks for the trailer tips. Panhandle Slim, as usual it was a pleasure to see you and your wonderful wife. It was very clear to anyone in Jacksonville that we Florida shooters are a very tight knit group of folks. Kinda like family huh? Well, everyone please be safe and as usual take care of each other and be kind and pray. Al

Just wanted to invite everyone to our trail ride and BBQ on March 15. Last year was great and hope that everyone can come. I'm going to make BBQ and cook some burgers thought that I would make Potato salad and if anyone wants to bring something that will be great. Let me know if you are coming so I can be sure we have enough for all.

Looks like this weekend will be a wash for J'ville...too many irons in the fire. Hope everyone does well, see ya'll --hopefully--at our next shoot.

Couldn't make the shoot yesterday, conflict with the mounted drill team I manage. I'm not shooting, but I hope to see ya'll in J'ville...I should get there late Friday. Anyone got suggestions for a hotel close by.
