Important Information!!!

September, 2009

The fund-raising campaign for 2010 will again be the sale of 12-month calendars featuring event champions, National Qualifiers, state finalists and other highlights of 2008-2009.  The proceeds from the sale of the calendars help to fund the activities of our Nebraska High School Rodeo Association.  The buyers of each calendar will also have the opportunity to win cash prizes in weekly drawings for $40 each, several holiday drawings for $200 each and a $1000 drawing at State Finals in June.  Buyers can be multiple winners!

As a NHSRA member, you may earn prizes as well!  EACH MEMBER WILL BE REQUIRED TO SELL SEVEN CALENDARS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR PARTICIPATION IN QUALIFYING RODEOS.  A reward program has been established as an incentive for members to sell more than the seven calendars required.  Each calendar contains a ticket that must be completed and all tickets, monies and unsold calendars must be turned into Lori Schafer no later than March 1, 2010 to be eligible for sales rewards.  REMEMBER:  THESE ARE IN ADDITION TO THE SEVEN CALENDARS YOU MUST SELL!  The first three levels of incentives are for calendars sold and turned in prior to January 1, 2010.  The fifty calendar and above levels are for members selling and turning in  tickets before the March 1, 2010 final deadline.
