Are you making your plans to attend the 2011 Phoenix International
Ferret Symposium to be held June 3 - 5 at the Fiesta Resort Conference
Center in Tempe, AZ yet?

Don't forget by signing up now you can get 10 free raffle tickets with
your registration made through Friday February 25. Just note on your
registration form 'free tickets'. Then ten free tickets will be waiting
for you when you check in Friday, June 3rd at the event.

Registrations forms are located at:
http://www.ferretcongress.org/sym2011/default.html

Need a payment plan? A down payment of 50% will reserve your place at
the Symposium. The balance must be paid in full by the registration
deadline of May 11, 2011. This payment plan also is extended to vendors
for their vendor table fee.

I would also like to mention again the new IFC Ferret Medical Research
fund. Funds are being collected for Dr. Matti Kiupel and Dr. Robert
Wagner. You will be able to hear them speak at the symposium and see
checks being presented to them at the June event.

You may write your check and designate it to the vet of your choice or
ask the amount be split between the two. The IFC Will match donations
collected up to $1500!

A "thank you" will appear in the Phoenix event program. The deadline
for the program listing is April 30th. But you can send your donation
until May 30th.

Please make checks to the International Ferret Congress (IFC) and mail
to:
Sharon Bearden, IFC
1245 Curtis Switch Rd
Mineral Bluff, GA 30559

Or you can use Paypal with [log in to unmask] as the pay to.

Please mark if the funds are for Dr. Wagner or Dr. Kiupel or split
between the two. Also please include if you would like to be listed on
the donors page. You can have either your name listed, or the name of
a beloved furkid listed as a memorial to him or her.

Your donations will help both these veterinarians continue research
that is making life better for our little companions. Receipts will be
issued with your donation being tax deductible to the fullest extent
of the law.

Thank you on behalf of the International Ferret Congress

Sharon Bearden,
