  • WFA Picnic and Auction: Saturday July 19th.  Hamburger/hot dog bbq, potluck sides/dessert. Should be very low-key and relaxed this year. :)  Info and directions

    Some auction items donated so far: rotating ring perch, block perch, perch spike, certificates for feeder rats, mice, and quail, several art prints, antique bells, commemorative mugs from the Archives, gloves, a hawking bag, hoods, and T shirts.

  • Carbon-copy 3-186A forms are being phased out. According to the Portland office: the new form (same as the old form) is available online (PDF format).

    1. Download, print, and fill out one copy of the form, except for your signature.

    2. Run off three more copies of the filled-out form.

    3. Hand-sign each copy of the form in the signature space.

      This extra signature step is to help prevent fraud.

    4. Mail them off to the usual offices, keeping one for your own records.
