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. Our monthly meetings are for those who are paid members of MBABYCC. If you are not a paid member, we would love for you join our chicken family! The dues are 20.00 a year and that covers all family members living in your home. For your investment of 20.00 you can attend monthly educational meetings, two picnics a year, a Christmas party and other MBABYCC events. Margaret Pinter, Hospitality Chairwoman, and her team will be on hand to check in club members and have membership applications available for anyone wanting to join at the meeting.
