This should be a fun day of socializing and donkey talkin' and is a
great way to meet all the members in a friendly kind of way! If you've
never been to a meeting, this is your chance to come and introduce
yourself and show us pics of your donkeys! If you work evenings and
haven't been able to come, we hope this is something at a better time
you can make! If you don't have a donkey but you want to meet some folks
that know more than your average donkey Joe...come on, bring a bag of
chips and learn!!! Do you have a friend who has been thinking about
getting a donkey? Bring them to the donkey picnic!!! It's all about
having fun, meeting new folks and talkin' donkey!!
Please don't forget your donkey picnic manners!!!! If you can come or
can't come, please please email and tell me or email Doug and Mindi at
oscartheweinerdog@msn.com and let them know. Also, when you reply please
give us some idea of what kind of dish you'll bring to pass so we don't
end up with 12 pans of brownies....unless of course you all think 12
pans of brownies and a burger will work for you!!
It also was suggested that everyone bring some sort of pricing list from
their current vet along with their name and location so we can do some
comparisons on certain things, like gelding, vaccinations, farm calls,
etc....
We hope you can come and we look forward to seeing EVERYONE!

Therapy.
After being actively involved in therapy work for over 10 years,
Ingrid is now a licensed evaluator for Delta Society, the nations
leading organization for registering suitable animals to provide

provides.
She will discuss the evaluation process and why all the skills are
important for visiting animals, and why equines are especially
