[Jacob-list] AGM

[Linda]

Peggy,

Do you have any idea of the events and happenings that would conflict with ANY date we picked?  There were limited dates open for the facility.  We wanted a later AGM so that more breeders would have the opportunity to bring lambs.  I picked the date. I had no idea of the conflict with the NJ fair at that time.  Some people have communicated they are pleased with the new date as last year's date conflicted with other events.  I am sorry this is a conflict for you and I will sure miss seeing you at the AGM.

>> We did the best that we could in picking a date for the 2007 JSBA

>> As you may recall, we had a record number of Jacobs and Jacob

>> Breeders attend the Garden State Sheep & Fiber Festival last

>> September.  Some of those

>> attend the 2007 AGM.  If those individuals are made aware of the

>> Jacob Show at the Garden State Fair...they might want to
