Provide justification for this request.

I volunteer my time for the LegUp TRC but i like to keep learning and progressing within the program including instructorship of therapeutic riding. I will gain knowledge of communication skills,new ideas for working with students, nutrition updates, roundpenning techniques,ground driving, fundraising ideas. in short, information and ideas to develop and improve the program i work with. I also work with TnTAP in Columbia TN where Teri Knauer is director.

Provide a detailed budget.

thursday/friday/saturday/sunday is $140 pre registeration or $155 on site. Because i am a member i save $20. for saturday only is $105 or $155 on site. It is approximately 160 mile each day i travel. i would like to attend the saturday and sunday session. I would like to receive 100% compensation. fuel would cost nearly as much as the conference. i drive a diesel. i will try to rideshare. fuel cost $60/day.

Other expected sources of support (including self-support).

i will try to rideshare with another person from LegUpTRC.
