2010 Sponsorship Drive
I am currently contacting past sponsors for their renewed support of our club and am actively pursuing new sponsors to add to our great group of financial supporters. Our sponsorship opportunities begin at the $100 club level and extend to $2000 for our Diamond level. Our WRHA sponsors are a vital component of our club and without them it would be impossible to put on our high quality shows. Please join in thanking our sponsors and letting them know we appreciate their support. For a list of the different levels of sponsorship and benefits please consult our Sponsor Packet in pdf format. I ask that anyone interested in supporting the WRHA for the current season contact me at 253-740-4114 or e-mail me at davemckim@msn. com . Thanks-Dave McKim

Fortunately, Kathlyn Toney from Pixeldust Studio was able to come on Saturday & Sunday to photograph your awesome (or sometimes not so awesome) runs in the show pen. Here is a link to her website so you can view & order your pictures. Please copy & paste the link.
