Annual Meeting 2011

WE'RE ON!

ANNUAL MEETING - Vacaville
CAL-ILA’s Annual 2011 Membership Meeting is just around the corner.  Make plans to join us in Vacaville at the Stars Recreation Center on Saturday July 9th. The meeting starts at 9:00 am.

How much would you pay to hear Dr Murray Fowler discuss camelid medicine? How about learning how to save time and money by being prepared the next time the vet visits your ranch?  Would you pay to learn about alternative medical techniques?  Hundreds have lined up and paid more than $95 a head to listen to Dr Fowler.  Alpaca owners routinely pay $25 or more to listen to their local vet talk about camelid care for just a couple of hours. We have a full day prepared with great speakers on the program, important information on low cost financing that can cover veterinarian care, the latest information on growing your own llama feed hydroponically and some very interesting hands-on work with live llamas! Oh yeah, and a Free Lunch!  All for just $20 per person. Kids under 6 FREE!
