Hello FMLers, I've just completed a new issue of The Ferreter, the official newsletter of the Houston Area Ferret Association (HAFA). The newsletter, the first one HAFA's published since its resurrection earlier this year, offers readers coverage of the group's activities, articles on current ferret topics, and handy guides to ferret-related services around the Houston area. Articles in this inaugural issue include: - Coverage of HAFA's most recent education day in Spring, TX, with lotsa pictures - Story on a successful search for a member's missing ferret - Health report on heartworm - Comprehensive list of ferret-friendly vets in and around Houston The Ferreter is available to view at: http://www.ferretofthefuture.com/fer1-web_small.pdf You'll need Adobe Reader or similar to view it. What is HAFA? The Houston Area Ferret Association (HAFA) is an all-volunteer organization that serves to promote and protect the welfare of domestic ferrets around the Houston area. Becoming a member is easy! Get the process rolling by visiting our site at www.hafa.ws or our message board at www.ferret.meetup.com/88. There you'll find links to ferret resources and a busy Web forum filled with people ready to answer your questions. We also hold ferret-free organizational meetings once a month; all are invited to attend. Thanks very much for reading -- and feel free to spread the word about HAFA and its newsletter to anyone you think we can help. k [Posted in FML issue 4898]
