equine-assisted activities and therapies. To ensure that PATH Intl.
continues to provide your center with premium education and to maintain
uninterrupted access to the wealth of benefits available to PATH Intl.
centers, please renew your center membership by December 31.
Online center renewal is now available. Online registration makes it
especially easy to renew your registration before it expires. With the
elimination of paper, you'll end any worry about losing your form on
the desk or in the mail.
Click here to renew

must be logged in to their personal account in order to renew online.
If you need to update the primary contact for your center, please send

The PATH Intl.
Marketing Department is looking for a great picture to use for the PATH
Intl. holiday card, and we thought what better image to use than one from
one of our centers. If you have a winter holiday picture that you
have been hoping more people could see, please send them to us! We will
feature all photos on our Facebook page and will pick one for our holiday
card. The "winner"
of the photo we use on our holiday card will receive a few items
from the PATH Intl. merchandise store.
Photos should be high resolution (300 dpi), jpg or pdf. They can be fun,
heart-warming or simply beautiful. Send your photos to Cher
Smith by November 27 - one week from today. Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who
purchased the "bling" lanyards at this year's conference. Your
purchases raised enough to fund an additional scholarship for the 2013
PATH Intl. Conference and Annual Meeting!
For anyone who did not
purchase a lanyard or were unable to come to conference this year, don't
fret. We'll be selling these beautiful and fun lanyards (in various
colors) at next year's conference in Orlando, FL. Thank you to everyone
who participated!

Tips From the Equine Welfare Committee

Submitted
by Kristin Mason, PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee chair
Welcome back from what I hear was yet another terrific national
conference! For those of you who attended, apologies for my absence this
year - I really did miss seeing all of you! We did, however, have
representation by four of our PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee members
whom I truly hope you had a chance to meet - Patty D'Andrea, Jayna
Wekenman, Cathy Languerand and Brittany Aspen. Thank you, ladies, for
your outreach for our equine partners at pre-conference through the
equine welfare community presentation and contacts you made throughout
conference.
For our PATH Intl. members and those who attended the PATH Intl. Equine
Welfare Community Connections session during the pre-conference - WE HEAR
YOU! Click here to read
some ideas from you for topics of discussion for the EW Community, as
well as future topics for our PATH
Intl. eNews "tips," PATH Intl. Strides articles, and
suggestions you and members of our EWC made.
The Equine
Welfare Committee encourages positive and engaging educational
exploration from our readers. We'd love to hear your feedback! Please let
us know if you have any questions about our tip or have a suggestion
about specific topics you would be interested in learning more about in
the future. Email Kristin Mason, PATH Intl. Equine Welfare
Committee chair. Thank you!
Please join us in the
PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Community Group!
We invite you to participate in lively, thought-provoking and sometimes
controversial discussions on the PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Community
Connections online group. You can access the group through the PATH Intl.
website. If you have any questions about joining Community Connections,
please email the moderator, Patty D'Andrea.
