CAL-ILA Events
It's Show Season!
Time is flying and "Show Season" is about over. But, there is still time to catch a good show. Going to a local show can be fun and educational. But Wait! You can become part of the action even if you don't show or own llamas; VOLUNTEER. Just contact the Show Superintendent, I'm sure she (or he) will welcome your offer to get involved!

Fred was an advertizing executive who was really on to something.I don't know if Fred ever saw a live llama, but he would agree, these photos are worth a thousand words. (In some cases they just leave me speechless!)  What's the fare for a herd of llamas? Click here for more pictures...

President's MessageSunday, June 27, 2010 Dear Members, and Future Members, As Vice President I have assumed the President position of CAL-ILA with the resignation of the President Joy Pedroni. This is not a position I chose to obtain, but one I will fill until there is someone who may want to guide CAL-ILA in the direction of: New members, love of llamas, education of llama care and, the fun of showing llamas. I have owned llamas for 34 years, so I have seen great advances in llama ownership and the recent need to downsize for those who now just want to enjoy their llamas. CAL-ILA has been an organization that promotes: Education, shows and fun events. My question is… In this time of economic challenges, how do we continue to promote the uses of llamas? As president, I welcome all and any comments as to how we can better meet the needs of our llama community.
