The 1st Annual Hi-Plains Alpaca Association Show is a happening event. The show will be held at the Bill Cody Arena in Amarillo, Texas on December 10, 11, 12, 2010. We are very excited and are so grateful and happoy to report that we have received a tremendous amount of support for this show from the alpaca community. The show website should be up and running soon. I will keep you posted.

If anyone would like to volunteer to help us out please send me an email to cindy@monacopines.com and let us know what area you would like to volunteer for.

The Hi-Plains Alpaca Association is up and running for those who want to join. There are still a few minor bugs I am working through, but rest assured they will be or are being worked on.

To join go to: http://www.hiplainsalpaca.com

Remember, this is a nation-wide membership...not just Texas.

I am currently working round the clock on the association website. I need all of your inputon what you would like to have in the members area? Also, what would you like in the community area? We already have the ability ti list your alpacas for sale and a ranch profile and locator. An events calendar?

The new association name will be High Plains Alpaca Association. HIPA for short. "Only HIP alpacas join HIPA"

Also, I need volunteers for the show I am trying to put together and for all Committees, membership, advertising & marketing, etc. Please email me with any and all questions and your interest in volunteering, etc. The show will be held in Amarillo, TX at the Bill Cody Arena in 2010. Any ideas on a date we should shoot for?

I will be forming the non-profit corporation in January 2009 and hope to launch the website by February 2009. I need all the help I can get. We need 10 ranches to join the association before I can apply to AOBA for certification, so we all need to be talking to our fellow ranchers about joining.

I look forward to all of your replies. And thank you for all of your support.
