| Thank you to those who attended last night's LFA meeting and to the LFA board for the pizza. We look forward to another season of collaborating with LFA on hunt events and activities. The weather this week is predicted to be... (checks weather app) just plain gross. We will not hold the trail familiarization ride tomorrow or do hound walking on Wednesday. We'll see how it looks for taking hounds out on Saturday. Staff Familiarization Rides We will also be arranging some staff familiarization rides. These rides will be focused on not only learning the country better, but also learning where a whip or field master should place themselves in relation to the huntsman and hounds. Any current or prospective staff members are welcome to join. We will go out in a couple groups of no more than three or four to ensure the ride stays "task focused". Schedule will be weather dependent, with the first ride potentially on August 17. If you are interested in joining, please contact Teresa via email or at 913.486.4707. |

| Coming up at the end of August is this season's first Intro to Foxhunting session! If you have a new/young horse you want to introduce to the sport or have a riding friend who would like to check out hunting, the Intro sessions are the place to be! |

| A Local Access Credential (LAC) allows civilians to enter Fort Leavenworth without having to stop at the visitor center each time. Members needing to obtain or renew a LAC must complete the Applicant Information and Criminal History sections of the LAC application (click image to download) and submit it to Master Candy Smith. You may also email your info to Candy or provide it over the phone (913-948-0189) and she will complete the form for you. She will then submit it to the FMWR Director, who will sign it and forward it to the Visitor Center (VCC) for processing. Current processing time is 2.5–3 weeks. Renewing LAC holders, please note this is a new form. For those who need only temporary access to Ft. Leavenworth (for the hunt ball, for example), please register for a one-day pass online.
