       Please join your chicken family for this month's educational
       meeting on 8-26-18 at the Jon Archer Center, 1070 Schillinger
       Road North, Mobile, AL 36608. The meeting will run from 3:00 to
       4:00pm. We request that you begin arriving around 2:30 for
       fellowship and refreshments.
       We are so excited to have with us again, Dr. Branislav Erak, DVM
       to speak on The Early Signs of Disease in Chickens;  What to
       Look For and How to Recognize a Sick Bird.  For those who are
       not familiar with Dr. Erak, he attended a veterinary high school
       in Bosnia-Herzegovina and obtained a Veterinary Technician
       diploma in 1998.  He then attended Belgrade University
       veterinary school for three years prior to moving to Mobile in
       2003.  Dr. Erak then worked as a technician at Azalea/University
       Animal Hospitals for 10 years until he decided to complete his
       veterinary education at Auburn University.  He graduated in the
       spring of 2014 and returned to the Azalea/University group where
       he practices small animal medicine and surgery.  He also has a
       special interest in the medical and surgical treatment of avian
       and exotic animals. We are so fortunate to have Dr. Erak to rely
       on for the proper diagnosis and treatment of disease and injury
       in our flocks so let’s show him our appreciation by coming out
       and supporting his presentation.
       As with every meeting, we will be giving away door prizes but
       we will have an EXCEPTIONAL opportunity this month for you to
       own your very own Grandpa’s Feeder valued at 109.95!!  Tickets
       will be 1.00 each and the feeder will be given away at the end
       of Dr. Erak’s presentation and you must be present to win.  Be
       on the lookout for photos on the Club FB page.  We had some
       terrific suggestions deposited in our Suggestion Box over the
       past few months so please keep them coming.   You will find the
       Suggestion Box near the Registration Table so please be thinking
       about ways you would like to see MBABYCC improve. This is your
       chicken club and we want your input!!
       Your meeting homework is 1) Put the meeting on your schedule
       and come join us on 8-26.  2) Think about what suggestions you
       would like to offer to make MBABYCC even better.  3) Decide what
       delicious refreshment creation you are going to share.
