Items to be discussed include The New Mexico Expo 2004 Alpaca Show, the possibility of NMAB putting on a fall alpaca show in Ruidoso, New Mexico, group marketing opportunities and election of new officers.

I had originally hoped to have this meeting in Ruidoso so that we could all see the facility we are considering for an alpaca show. The Nishitani's have done a lot of research into the possibility of NMAB putting on an alpaca show and I therefore need them to be able to attend the meeting. The weekend of April 24 the Nishitani's will be in Albuquerque at a conference so it was easier to schedule the meeting closer to Albuquerque on this occasion. We will revert to our state rotation for the next NMAB Meeting.

As you can see we have some major topics to discuss at the meeting, so please make sure you arrive on time so that we can get the meeting started promptly.

If you are aware that you are not current on your 2004 dues please make sure you bring your check book with you and get your dues brought up to date! Dues are $100 per year for Farm Membership, $25 per year for Associate or Business Membership.

Please RSVP to either myself windrush@plateautel.net or Bob Wargowsky windridersuriranch@juno.com so that we have an idea of the number of members attending the meeting.
