Yes, he will do it! Our clinic was penciled in tentatively for now as he does not have his son's football schedule for A&M for this next year, but he will get that soon. He said we have to do all the advertising and if we paid his gas he said he has no problem coming to do it. I told him he was the only pit bull friendly vet I know and he is awesome and he just smiled and chuckled, and told me he had a influx of pit owners since I had been coming to him :p. He said he would hold it on a Sat. afternoon which would be the 25th between 2pm - 4pm. It would be himself and two of his helpers. Prices are as follows and $1.00 from each vaccination goes back to the club.
$5.00 - Rabies (dog)
$10.00 - Distemper/parvo (dog)
$10.00 - Distemper (cat)
$10.00 - Leukemia (cat)
He also told me this is the cheapest you would find anyone to do the cat vaccinations as well as the distemper/parvo for the dogs. I just wanted to pass along the info. ttys

Meeting notes for July 18th, 2010
Heart of Texas Club Members,
Thanks again to the 4 members who made it to the meeting last Sunday! (Not to mention two tiny members - Jonah and Eliana :) )
We had originally planned to meet at Pfluger Park in Pflugerville, but after realizing how small the turnout was and feeling the squelching heat, we moved the meeting location to Casey's house. Thanks to Casey for the hospitality!
Our main topic of discussion was the fun show we've been thinking of doing for some time now.
* We decided that our overall goal and focus for the fun show (aside from fun:)) should be to educate folks on the APBT and provide information for anyone interested in joining our club or showing within the ADBA. After much discussion, we decided that we didn't want to cater too much to the "bully" fad that's all over our area right now. But instead, educate people on the proper structure, conditioning, preserving, etc. of this great breed of dog! Not to say we wouldn't be completely accepting and welcoming of those who own primarily "bullies".
*We talked again about finding a veterinarian do some sort of vet clinic/vaccination drive prior to the fun show. We figured if we scheduled this vet clinic event several weeks before the planned fun show, this would give us one way to advertise for it. During the vaccinations, we would like to have some packets of info made up to hand to people including information on the APBT, showing within the ADBA, articles and info on BSL, membership form, and a flyer advertising for our fun show. We realize that most of the dogs showing up will not be APBTs, but this is still a way for us to get our club out there and possibly make some money! The proposed dates for this vet clinic is September 25 or 26. We would like to do this in a park - preferably in Central Austin area. Any ideas on a good park?? Tye is talking to her veterinarian about helping us put this on. We are still waiting to hear back on what he's willing to do.
* The dates that look best for a fun show this Fall are October 23 or 24. This would be approximately 3 weeks after the vet clinic event.
* We felt the fun show also should be located in a park near Central Austin.
* As far as advertising goes, the newspaper hasn't been real successful yet, but that's still an option. Other suggestions were Craigslist, Dog forums, Facebook, Myspace, and posting flyers everywhere possible.
* We would like to have food available for people at the show. Any good ideas? John and Sherry - do you happen to have the phone number for the good BBQ concession guy we've talked about at previous meetings?
*We wrapped up discussion doubting whether or not we'll have enough people dedicated to helping this events take place. If there are only 4-5 people willing to come out and help, these plans might not become a reality. If you are willing and available to come out and help, or if you know of others that would be interested, please let us know! That way we can continue on with plans without doubt and hesitation.
Thanks everyone! Let's continue supporting and preserving this amazing breed!

July Meeting Update
Hey Everyone,
I haven't quite gotten together my notes for the meeting today, so I'll try to get those up tomorrow.
The members who showed up for this July 18th meeting were myself (Rebekah), Travis, Casey and Tye.
We had good discussion about future fundraisers opportunities and a fun show this Fall, but were discouraged wondering how many club members would actually be committed to helping with these ventures! We really need more involvement before a lot of these plans can spring into action. Anyway, more details of the meeting to follow!
In the meantime, check out the new blog and take the poll to your right to tell me what you think!
Give me any lengthy ideas via the "comment" button below!
Thanks,
Rebekah Caka
