New ETWHA Officers and Board Members
Tuesday, March 6, 2007
MORRISTOWN, TN- The 2007 Membership Meeting was a huge success as
many members crowded into the conference room at the Holiday Inn in
Morristown to vote for the 2007 Officers and Board Members. President
Hershel Blessing presided over the meeting as the votes were cast and
ballots were counted.
Hershel’s farewell speech was well received as he
explained the complications that arose during his 2006 term as
president. One being the fact that too many board members where
mistakenly added last year resulting in the election this year of a
new board with only 6 members (one from each district and a floater).
Also he explained that the ETWHA had not been chartered for many
years and he and some other board members have taken care of this
issue for 2007. Hershel’s final statement quoted from Wink Groover is
one we should all try to remember: “Showing Tennessee Walking Horses
is a hobby that we should all enjoy. It should not be all about
wining, but we as an organization are a family and we should treat
each other accordingly. If we do not stick together as one and fight
for our rights as owners and trainers there is not going to be any
more Saturday night shows to go to.” What Wink said reminds us of the
old adage, “United we stand, Divided we are conquered.”
After a brief intermission to allow for the ballots to
be counted, Hershel returned to the podium and announced the New 2007
Officers and Board Members.

future of the Tennessee Walking Horse.
President elect Sandy Eifling stepped up to the podium
and announced that she was very happy to have been elected and
promised to do the best job possibly to ensure the 2007 show season
would be the best one yet. She also said that any member who wishes
to attend any of the meetings is welcome. There is now an open door
policy so that everyone has the opportunity to do their part.
Congratulations New 2007 ETWHA Officers and Board Members!
