| Please join your chicken family for this month's educational | |
| meeting on 8-26-18 at the Jon Archer Center, 1070 Schillinger | |

| 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. | |
