December 9, 1973
Pot-luck: 1 P.M. Meeting 1:45 P.M.
Santa Clara High School Cafetorium
corner of Washington & Bellomy Sts., Santa Clara

Dear Members,

With show time just two weeks away, I hope you have all your birds picked to show and you have all your cages painted and ready to go. Don't forget this year we're trying to build-up our Display Division. Using a live bird, how about decorating a cage and entering it in the show. Some real nice trophies will be awarded.

We are still in need of food donations for the show. If you didn't sign-up for anything, we are still in need of sweet potatoes, jello salads and pies. Contact Ruby Dubois. Also, if you haven't donated a blue chip book, please bring something of equal value to put on the SHOWRAFFLE TABLE.

At the meeting this month, reminders of how to set-up your cages for the show & final preparations for the show in general will be made.

At our last meeting, the club members elected the following officers who will take over at the Jan. meeting:

Pres. Richard TopperTreas. Leonard Quieto
Vice-Pres. Allan Thompson  Newsletter Chuck Arella
Sec. Charlotte LeDouxShow Manager Joe Gordon
Congratulations to all of you!
