MCBA Atlantic Chapter

Two Weeks to Show Time!

Administrator — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 23:37:26 +0000

I just noticed that I haven’t made an update to this homepage in a while, even though our show is just over two weeks away. Rest assured! I have been keeping the show page very up to date, and will continue to do so until after the show, so keep checking the show page for the latest details.

I am very excited by the outpouring of very nice donations we’ve received for our raffle table. We’ve received so many items that pretty much everyone will be a winner at this show!

Don’t forget to RSVP for the banquet if you haven’t already, and hope to see you there!

Calendars Ready for New York!

Administrator — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 00:46:18 +0000

Our 2012 chinchilla calendars are ready to be printed, so we are taking orders for pickup at the New York / New England chapter show next weekend! The calendars will be $12 if ordered for the show, so send your orders to mishirish@yahoo.com if you want one next weekend! Please order by Wednesday, Sept 14th to give Jim time to print them!

The calendars will be available for $15 mailed (in the US) at any time after the show, but we need to work out how we will be accepting payment so for now we are only taking orders for pickup in New York.

Calendar Photos Chosen!

Administrator — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 15:24:29 +0000

Voting is now closed for the calendar and the photos have been selected! It’s going to be an awesome calendar, I can promise you that. ;)

There are still a couple ad spaces in the calendar available, if you’d like one get back to me at mishirish@yahoo.com ASAP and I’ll let you know what I need. We are still aiming to have these calendars ready for sale at the New York show in a couple weeks, so I need to finish putting it together by this coming weekend. The ads are $20, you can either Paypal the payment to me and I’ll forward it on to the chapter, or we can collect it at the show.

Calendar Fundraiser

Administrator — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 03:44:36 +0000

For those of you who were unable to make our meeting last weekend – and a reminder for those of you who were there – one of the ideas we discussed was making a chinchilla calendar as a fundraiser for the chapter. We would like to use photos of chinchillas submitted by you, our members. Mish will collect your submissions and then make a voting system for you all to choose which photos you like, the top 13 (12 months plus cover) photos voted for will make it into the calendar.

If you would like to donate photos, please send them to Mish Irish at mishirish@yahoo.com by August 31st, we’re going to try to have these calendars available by the New York show in mid-September so this deadline will be strict. The higher the resolution of the photo, the better! Please limit your submissions to 4.

Also, we are selling business-card sized ad space on each month of the calendar for $20. There are currently 6, maybe 7, ad spaces available. If you would like to purchase ad space, let Mish know and she’ll get back to you.
