September President’s Message
Ready or not, fall is just around the corner. That means our annual show is getting close and we are in the preparation mode. I hope you are selecting birds that you will show. It is both fun and a great learning opportunity. We have judges from Canada, New York, and Washington this year. They will help us evaluate and learn about our birds. The Cascade Budgie Society is also holding their show with us as in past years.
Our September club meeting will be on Saturday, Sept. 13. It will begin with a short Board meeting at 1:30 pm. 2:00 pm will be the General Club meeting and most of it will be focused on planning for the show. We will be meeting at our regular site, the Clackamas Community Club, or you can participate via Zoom. The link will be emailed out the day prior to the meeting.
Our Fall Show is on Saturday, Oct. 25, at the Oregon State Fair in Salem. You can find details regarding the show, schedule, Sales Tables, the hotel, and more in this newsletter. We will also be emailing out a complete show catalog to all members. It will have all the details, plus the show classifications. You can register at the show or let me know in advance and I will get you entry forms and show tags.
I am really looking forward to the show and sale. If there is anyway that I can help you to show some birds, please let me know.
