Re: [AlpacaTalk] Alpacas in Rose Parade
So what are fees for AKC shows?
The question of AOBA/ARI was put to the membership long before I was
a member, and it's still in the AOBA bylaws that one of AOBA's
directives is to set up and maintain a registry, because I guess, ILR
wasn't capable of doing that. 'Nother discussion!
Sigh. So many problems with AOBA. So much crap they've done. And if
you read the bylaws, you'll find the membership isn't entitled to
have an opinion on anything except the BOD election. I've read it
over and over!
