ATTENTION: 2025 TRBA STATE SHOW DATE CHANGE
The new management of the Cadence Bank Center (formerly known as the Bell County Exposition Center) in Belton has notified us that the facility will not be available during our usual weekend before Easter due to a large event taking priority. After considering alternatives, the TRBA Board has approved moving the State Show to the weekend of March 22, 2025, on an emergency basis, maintaining the traditional 3-day show format. Please mark your calendars and stay tuned for further updates. We appreciate your understanding.

MEMBERSHIP MEETING NOTICE
When: December 7, 2024, About Noon
Where: Killeen Special Events Center, 3301 S W S Young Dr, Killeen, TX 76542
In conjunction with the TRBA Fall Show, we will have a Membership meeting to consider changes to our Bylaws.
The first is regarding the State Show dates. The current bylaw requires the show to be the weekend before Easter. The proposed Amendment would have a permanent date, the 3rd weekend in March. This is necessary due to the facility availability with the new management of the Expo.
The second is regarding the Show Sweepstakes Fee breakdown. This amendment simply reallocates the money coming in to have more to spend on Sweepstakes awards.
This meeting will be held during a lunch break so that all members can attend. Here is a link to the proposed changes for you to review beforehand. Please contact a board member if you have any questions.
Rules Clarifications

Do not send to the News Editor as that will only delay the process and you may miss the deadline. Advertising fees are listed in the newsletter. Deadline dates for having all newsletter items to the secretary’s office are December 31, March 31, June 30, and September 31. Ad rates are listed in the newsletter. We encourage you to send in ads, articles, questions, recipes, photos, comments, etc. A listing of upcoming TRBA sanctioned shows is included in each issue of our newsletter.

The registration remains in effect for as long as your membership is current. If your membership lapses, the rabbitry registration lapses also.

Sweepstakes points may be accumulated only by TRBA members and under the exact name(s) shown in the TRBA records. Per ARBA rules, no one may enter an ARBA sanctioned show under a rabbitry name. Points may not be combined or separated at any time during the sweepstakes year.
