 September 2009 Rideathon
We would like to thank everyone who participated in and donated to
our Fall Rideathon. It was a beautiful day to ride through the hills.
We had 63 riders, which is a record attendance. In total, we
received $7193.00. The funds raised will be used to purchase new
horses and tack for the riding program.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!

September and October have been busy months for us here at CSR. We have had several different groups staying here doing all the
activities and there are only 10 of us here to do the work that 50 or 60 staff do during the summer. Thank you to the young men and
women who have made the commitment to stay and help us host our Fall retreat groups.
