It may be too late to buy the dinner tickets now (check with me if you really want one - a few last minute tickets may be available). BUT - don't despair! You can still come for the fun and festivities AFTER dinner! Since this is a ball forum, what you really want is to attend the raffle!



Dinner will last from 6 p.m. until around 7 - 7:30 p.m. A number of people plan to eat elsewhere, and then join us for the first annual H. Bernard Bechtel award for contributions to cornsnake herpetoculture, or for the cornsnake discussions and question and answer period, OR for the GREAT RAFFLE WE WILL BE HOLDING TO BENEFIT US ARK! Andrew will be joining us prior to the raffle to speak about the US ARK mission, and to drum up raffle ticket sales. Special thanks given here to various ball python morph donations from Josh Hutto, Gulf Coast Reptiles, Tom Crutchfield, Susan Sentman, and John Ciani.



So far, we have almost 40 donations, ranging from corns of various type, white sided rats, several ball pythons (vanilla, fireball, yellowbelly, mojave, pastel), Dumeril's boa, Colombian boas, to Zoo Med products, posters, books, and reptile music CDs. We need to have enough ticket buyers so that you don't win TOO easily, lol! We can also take last minute donations, if you have something extra, and would like to benefit US ARK.



It will be held in the meeting room of this hotel, Sat. night:
