Hi everyone,
As most of you already know we are planning a Mickaboo adoption fair on October 7th at the Carmichael Public Library. It is located at 5605 Marconi Ave in Carmichael from 10-3. We start set up around 9. It is best to havebirds there no later than 8:30 as people arrive early and it is hard to set up birds as folks are arriving. it also gives birds times to settle in before the event.
Please let me know if you will be able to attend and if you plan to bring any of your foster birds. I like to make name tags ahead of time for all of the volunteers and also print out the stories for the birds attending. I don't mind if you have small birds and cannot stay for the entire event. You can leave the birds and pick them up at the end of the fair. However, is is henerally best with large foster birds if the foster parent can stay and answer questions. It is also very reassuring for the birds. There will be some vols around to answer general questions about the birds in general.
If you do attend it is advisable to bring a sack lunch and drinks. It gets so busy there with the fair that if you leave to go get lunch it is difficult to find parking when you return! Sometimes we do a mini pot luck as well -bringing had held foods to share. There is a tiny kitchen we we can use which has a fridge in it for our use.
I am attaching an adoption fair flyer which I would really appreciate if you can help print and post in your area. We now have vols in Sacramento, Davis, Alta, Sacramento, Fair Oaks, Citrus Heights, Vacaville, El Grove, Weimar, Jackson, West Sacramento, Lincoln Modesto and Stockton. If each of you can even post just 5 flyer's it will help spread the word. Some suggested sties for posting include vets, feeds stores, pet stores, community bulletin boards, rural post office message boards, bulletin boards at work sites etc.
Thank you and I hope to see you all there. Even if you do not have a foster bird we can use your help and it is a great way to meet vols in your area.
Francie
