Texas Limousin Association • Krum, TX

From Your TJLA President:

Howdy!

I would like to congratulate everyone on a successful Field Day in Bryan. We had a good turn out and even celebrated National Donut Day.

I am Katelyn Smith from Stephenville and am the current TJLA President. As most of you know, Texas is hosting the 2009 National Limousin Show in Amarillo which is right around the corner.

Nationals is always a blast. There are a lot of events throughout the week to participate in. It’s great to hang out with juniors from across the country. If you can’t make it to Amarillo with cattle, try and come for a day and join in on the fun and fellowship. No other show is like Nationals. This is a good opportunity to show the other states some real Texas Hospitality.

Have a great summer, be safe &
see you soon!

Junior National, AALF Coming To Texas in ‘09

Dear TLA and TJLA Membership,

As you know, Texas will be hosting the 2009 National Junior Limousin Show and Congress and All American Limousin Futurity July 11-18, 2009 in Amarillo. I have been fortunate enough to be involved with hosting this event in 1983 (San Antonio) 1992 (Fort Worth), and 2002 (Amarillo). It is very rewarding and fun to have our National Limousin family come to our “home” for the premier week of the year for our breed. I must also be honest, it takes a lot of planning and hard work.

If you are interested in serving on a committee, please plan to attend the Texas Limousin Association annual meeting in Fort Worth. We will be assigning committees and mapping our route to Amarillo in ‘09. If you are unable to attend but want to be a part of the action, please contact Bruce Lawrence at (806) 997-5381 or me at (806) 375-2345.

I look forward to the fellowship of working with fellow TLA and TJLA members and the crew in Amarillo to ensure the success of this great event. I hope you are as excited and fired up about it as I am. Thanks in advance, and let’s have a great year in 2008 in the Limousin breed.

Bret Begert
