Be Kind to Your Rodeo Secretary

As in most positions in a youth rodeo organization, generally the rodeo secretary is a volunteer.  They are there donating their time to help the kids.  It is always nice when the parents as well as the kids appreciate the efforts put forth by the volunteers at a rodeo.  Here are a few suggestions for you to help out your rodeo secretary.


1) Do your best to complete all of the paperwork.  Fill out the forms completely. 
2) Calculate your fees.  Be sure to check with the secretary if you are not sure about all of the fees.  It is easier to take care of these before you get to the rodeo.  Send your fees with your completed paperwork.
3) Turn your entries in on time.  It is difficult for the committee to schedule the right amount of stock if they do not know for sure how many contestants they have.  There may or may not be an additional bull, steer or calf for you if you don't enter on time. 


Getting the right paperwork and payment on time really helps the secretary to have everything ready when it is rodeo time.
