2010 Congress IQHYA NYATT

Hannah Bengsten was 8th in Reining and both Alyssa Lombardi and Jennifer Wagner were finalists in Horsemanship.

For this year's NYATT team, Valerie Lombardi had the pleasure of designing the team football jerseys (the idea from Sarah Cerda) and coordinating long-sleeved tees. She found an awesome site online, got a great price with fast turnaround time, and the shirts were perfect for the Parade of Teams. The girls walked in throwing a football back and forth and had a great time (as evidenced in the photo). Valerie noticed on the company site that they had a contest
to "Show Your Spirit" by sending in a photo and once a month they would choose a team and award them a $250 gift certificate. She sent in the picture and  actually won! The team is featured on their web site and is being
included in all of their regular emails to everyone on their list. What great free advertising for the ILQHYA! Valerie and her daughter, Alyssa, would like to officially donate the $250 gift certificate to the Youth Association to help with the purchase of team wear for our 2012 Youth World or Congress NYATT teams.
