New Heaven on Earth Ranch (A Congressional District Program under National Heritage Foundation) Tax ID# 58-2085326

I would like to welcome you to our website, The “New Heaven on Earth Ranch.” We have just been accepted as a Congressional District Program for 2007. Due to recent changes in Federal Law, severe restrictions had been put on how foundations such as National Heritage can operate and allow groups such as ours to be under their umbrella. While we begin the process to establish our own 501 (c) (3) in California, we will have more freedom to function as a CDP. With help from All Nations Church, we will be able to move forward and construct The “Johny Carpenter” Arena.
We continue to seek your support and you can now donate on line (See links). All donations are tax deductible.

The afternoon program included presentations in the equidome by several equestrian groups including the Compton Jr. Posse, Ladies of the War Horse and Valley View Vaulters. Los Angeles City Council Members Wendy Greuel and Tom LaBonge were present to offer encouragement and to meet the crowd. We had dozens of vendors present selling their wares to distributing information on their groups. The event was cosponsored by Valley Horse Owners Association, Los Angeles Trails Project, War Horse Militaria Heritage Foundation and “New Heaven on Earth Ranch.” A raffle was held with the highlight being a western saddle donated by Champion Turf Equipment, valued at $3,000, being won by Royan Herman. The Los Angeles Equestrian Center was kind enough to donate the use of not only their banquet room but the equidome as well. Much information was exchanged and everyone had a good time.
