Development Committee: Patricia presented the development committee report via email. Randy Brealey has kindly offered any of his studs for the ARF Suri Stud Raffle. The committee picked Accoyo Rico. They also decided it might be a good idea to put in small letters that if the winner would rather pick another stud of Randy’s that would be fine also. Poseidon is this year’s huacaya stud. Marilyn has generously offered to help Rachelle with the stud raffle. The website is close to being finished. It looks great. Once the website is up and running, Patricia will send the annual giving letter to ARI to be sent out.

MAF and LMRG Update: Starting in 2010, review of large animal research proposals will be in October, not in June as in previous years. WVLF (Willamette Valley Llama Foundation) has changed its name to the North West Camelid Foundation (NWCF).

New Business:

ARF Officers will remain the same for 2010.

Eleven Pre-proposals were reviewed.

Next meeting is scheduled for 6:00p.m. PST, January 25, 2010.

Allan made a motion to adjourn the meeting and Pat seconded. The meeting ended at 7:45 p.m. PST.
