■ Alpaca Association of Western Washington (AAWW)<br />
AAWW’s Alpacapalooza show moves to new and<br />
bigger facilities this Spring! Yes, we have finally<br />
moved to the Western Washington fairgrounds in<br />
Puyallup, substantially improving the facilities and<br />
market area for our annual event. Mark your calendars<br />
for April 2-3 and, if you are not in the<br />
show, come visit!<br />
The new year also brings a new board of directors<br />
to our group, which is now:<br />
Teresa Venhuis, President<br />
Becky Emrich, Vice President<br />
Jerri Richardson, Treasurer<br />
Pam Wilmot, Secretary<br />
Randy Brealey, Director<br />
Appreciation of the service generously given by<br />
last year’s board and Alpacapalooza volunteers is<br />
acknowledged. It is this kind of service and commitment<br />
that keeps all the affiliates, and AOBA<br />
and ARI themselves, the great organizations they<br />
are. We should all recognize that, to a significant<br />
extent, the success of our industry is based on<br />
what all the volunteers, past and present, have<br />
given for us all.<br />
So, give thanks for your wonderful alpacas, the<br />
great people they will bring into your lives, and<br />
those who promote and advance our industry!<br />
