I would like to thank everyone for coming, donating food, and participating in the June 6th, 2009
Southern Unit of Ohio Branch ECBC meeting. We had a great time making new friends, learning, and socializing. It was a total success!
We want to send out a special thank you to Ralph and Barbara Shoots for coming from Ohio to help organize and educate us. Barbara shared her guidelines and instructions on making a successful unit and Ralph gave a great round table discussion with demonstrations on chinchilla grooming techniques, ear tagging, and swabbing. Very informative and inspiring!
We elected and approved officers: Janice Barrett – President (from SC), Tiffany Yarboro – Vice President (from NC), Cheryl Sanders – Secretary (from AL) and Louise Meadows – Treasurer (from GA).
At our meeting there were 7 states represented including the Shoots from Ohio. There were a total of 14 people in attendance interested in becoming members with an additional 4 visitors plus Ralph and Barbara Shoots.
We will be having our next meeting in late September. The destination and time have not been determined as of yet. There will be another educational session at this meeting so make plans to attend. We will be finalizing plans as soon as possible and post back here when they are complete.
