The Clinic  The day began with an allbreed Microchipping Clinic from 10:00 - 12:00 a.m.  
A total of 8 cats were microchipped. 
The chipping was performed by Rainy Kemp, assisted by Troya Duncanson and Don DeLauder.
 The paperwork was handled by Carolyn Osier.

The Program , presented by Dr. Maria Fahie DVM, was about  Birthing and C-Sections
There was much interest in the subject and many good questions and input from the audience.
Dr. Fahie is a Veterinary School Instructor.

The Lunch Our biennial potluck luncheon was enjoyed by all present.  

After the luncheon and a brief club meeting it was time for the kittens.
The Kittens

Twenty kittens, representing eight litters, were presented by their owners.
The owners discussed the breedings and expectations for each litter.
