LDEC

Class Volunteers - Veterans ride one day each week. While onsite, you can assist
riders as horse leaders or sidewalkers or visit with our non-riding veterans. You can
also provide general assistance such as horse grooming, serving lunch and
performing general clean-up.

Fundraising and Special Events - Host a fundraiser or special event such as a
bake sale, spaghetti dinner, Poker Run or a raffle. Recent volunteer-sponsored
fundraisers include a "Girls' Night Out for a Special Cause Dinner" and an I-Pod raffle.
The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. You can also participate in
LDEC organized fundraisers such as the Spring and Fall Trail Rides.

Office and Program Support - Help with volunteer coordination, writing "thank you"
letters to donors, maintaining volunteer forms, or developing promotional materials
about LDEC and disseminating it to the community, media and internet. We are also in
need of grant writers and folks experienced in identifying funding sources.

Facility Maintenance - LDEC is a 7 acre facility with both indoor and outdoor riding
capabilities. As such, we are always in need of good old fashion elbow grease to
maintain our fences, fields, stalls, lounge and indoor and outdoor arenas .

Equine- Related Activities - If you have horse experience or just enjoy being
around horses we could use your help with horse grooming, tack-cleaning, horse
feeding and vet/farrier coordination

As you can see, your opportunities to get involved and make a difference in the lives
of the veterans we serve are limited only by your imagination.
