June 4, 2015 meeting: 
There were 21 members present, including our new member, Mark.




A club member, Denise Bennett, gave a presentation on alpacas.  She explained that they are related to llamas and camels but are smaller and more docile.  They weigh up to 150 pounds and are raised for their fur (fleece).  Unlike wool, the fleece does not contain lanolin and the hair has smooth scales.  They need to be sheared once a year to help them avoid overheating in summer.
