KTTC Member of the Month February 2001

Susie Raisher

Susie Raisher first joined KTTC last year in California for the Santa Anita Derby, and later earned a sponsored trip to the Kentucky Derby in KTTC's inaugural Triple Crown Essay Competition. Since then she has been an integral part of the organization's development and joined the group twice on subsequent trips to Belmont Park in her backyard of New York.

This summer Susie designed and produced original KTTC flyers and distributed them to fellow teenagers during several visits to Belmont Park. She also is president of online fan clubs, manages her own web site and has posted racing related topics frequently to the Yahoo KTTC group message board administrated by fellow KTTC Member of the Month winner Amelia Baldree.

Susie Raisher is a sterling example of the quality of KTTC's fine membership and we are proud to announce her as Member of the Month for February.
