PRCBA President’s Report: Mike Raab

Hello Fellow Palomino Members,

Summer is gone and getting cooler here in SE Indiana. It was dry, but we just
now got some much-needed rain. I have been fortunate to attend a few shows
recently and the exhibitor turnout has been very good. The demand for Palominos has been good,
as I have been getting requests for them. I did not enter any Palominos in the virtual online show
with MARCS this fall, as I was not comfortable with providing the necessary pics and videos for
display.

Looking forward to more upcoming shows this fall. Hope other breeders around the country can
do the same.

I have about 6 litters of Pals now in the boxes and more to come. The spring shows are not far
away, so if you have not bred, need to start thinking about it.

In the pic to the right, I was honored to get a 2nd RIS in the
rare breed show in Knoxville, TN with my Golden senior
buck. It was a well exhibited show.

Until next time, practice safe distancing and stay healthy!

See you soon.

Mike

PRCBA Vice President’s Report: Jim Brown
Hello Pal friends,
I’m shortening my report this edition so that I can include a reprint of an article from
the Pal News in 1986.
There have been very few local shows but I’m hopeful that come spring we will be back to our
normal schedule. I miss seeing my rabbit friends and having the opportunity to talk ‘rabbits' all
day. I hope everyone has a safe and family filled holiday season.
JIM

PAL News – November 2020

PRCBA Secretary and Sweeps Chair Reports: Carolyn Wright
Greetings from the Secretary’s Desk!
Hello once again from Texas!

It sure was a long hot and dry summer for us down south and still no rain in
sight! The Fairs and rabbit shows have all been canceled. We did finally;
manage to squeeze a show in, second weekend of September. The attendance
was huge. Everyone had cabin fever! The host club had their pump-up spray
bottles of disinfectant and sprayed everyone’s carts coming in the building to protect against
RHDV2 and hand sanitizer stations were everywhere. Plus, the Venue mandated face masks. The
turnout was around 3900 entries for a triple show.

Sweepstakes standings are slim for 20/21 due to numerous shows canceling to COVID 19. I was a
little curious, and did a little comparison between 2019 and 2020 sanction requests that were
submitted. We’re/PRCBA is down approximately 95 sanctions less, this time of the year
compared to this time of year in 2019. That is a huge amount of revenue the club has lost due to
the pandemic.

Reminder! You can help support the PRCBA during these trying times by purchasing Pal
merchandise. Check out the items with www.SanMar.com. They have our Pal logo on file and can
embroidery it onto any of their products. Contact Jim Brown for pricing. He is our representative
with them. You/we do not have to order a minimum. They have very high-quality merchandise.
We’re working on adding a couple pics to our official Pal web page of some of the items
currently available from SanMar.com.

Also, in this issue, is a new report from the Secretaries Office. You will find two reconciliation
reports showing the actual amount of all the deposits I made in 19/20 and a current up to date
report for the fiscal year. The reports will have a detailed description of what reimbursement
checks paid to me were actually used for. The current 20/21 reconciliation report will only reflect
checks that have cleared the bank, will match our bank statements, and not reflect any outstanding
checks.

Stay safe this Holiday Season!

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to drop me a line.

Regards

Carolyn Wright

District 1 Report: Bianca Haering
Hi everyone,
I want to say Hello to everyone in District 1 and I am pleased to have this
opportunity to serve as your new director. I do have big shoes to fill. Cliff was
an amazing director and I hope I can live up to the expectations that have
existed under Cliff’s leadership. I am grateful to call him my friend.
This year is just crazy. My rabbit club hosted one double show in August, but that is as far as my
reports for shows go. Hopefully, I can attend another show in December.
This year I have had a lot of time to focus on my house renovations and improvements. We also
did a lot of gardening and projects around the house. We did go Halibut fishing once this summer,
but the summer here in Alaska was mostly rainy, and winter is already here.
So things here have not been as exciting as i had hoped for this year, and due to the ARBA

Convention being cancelled, I won’t even see my pals.
I do want to hear from everyone. If you are in District 1, please email me at
bianca1981@hotmail.com with any news or questions you may have, or even if you just want to
report about your litters.
I am looking forward to working cooperatively with all the Pal members.
Til next time,
Bianca

District 2 Report: Kathleen Utter:
Hello to everyone in District 2 and hopefully everyone is staying safe with
COVID, RHVD and all of the terrible fires. This year has certainly caused a lot of
changes for us all. I have not been able to attend any rabbit show this year and
I know there have only been a few in Northern California and miss seeing
everyone. I am hoping that we will be able to slowly get back into the normal swing of things.
For all the members in District 2 if you have anything to share, please email
me fcfutter@gmail.com
I am looking forward to working cooperatively with all the Pal members.
Please be safe,
Kathleen

District 4 Report: Latosha Lucas
Hello everyone,
Not much have been going on in Texas. Shows are just starting to get back
up and running here. Hope everyone is get ready to start showing again.
Hope everyone has babies in the nest boxes.

My Aunt, Margaret Nace passed away on September 22. She
was active exhibitor of Palominos and she also showed white
Mini Rex. Her passion was helping the youth. She will be
greatly missed.

Margaret Jean had worked for the State School in Houston
with the special needs kids swim team to compete in the
Special Olympics in Texas. It gave her great joy to work
these kids. In recent years She raised show rabbits and begin to mentor the youth in the
surrounding counties. She was always willing to help them with their rabbits. She would
do anything for the kids in the rabbit community and was always proud of to talk about
her nieces and nephews. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
She is survived by her dad Charles Nace, brother Charlie Nace and wife Ann of Ft. Worth,
sister Joy Lucas and husband Mike Lucas. Nieces April Nace, Heather Lucas, and Latosha
Lucas. Nephews Casey Nace and Ryan Nace. Extended nieces and nephews Christina
McMillan and husband Jared, Cody Lucas and wife Cat and Brittany Lucas. She is preceded
in death by her mother Myrtle Nace and grandparents.
A memorial service will be held on November 7th at 1:00 at Trinity lighthouse in Denison
TX.

District 5 Report: Bob Donnell
Hello all,

My names Robert Donnell, it’s an honor to serve you as a director. This
is what I stand for. I will be 100 % transparent at all times and will do
my best to put the good of the club ahead of the good of the individual.
My personal beliefs are Nobody is more important than anyone in our club else regardless of
club status. Two things I will not tolerate is deception or secrecy. These are cancer for clubs!
Here in Illinois it’s getting cooler and furs coming in. We have had some very good shows here
in the Midwest. The guidelines the ARBA have in place for RHD were used. Most recently
several pals were exhibited in Lebanon in at my own clubs all breed show. The show was a
huge success by all accounts it was the largest all breed show hosted by a local club in ARBA
history. We had 10,973 total entries, keep in mind, this was a local club not a state or regional
or a conv. The numbers scream ppl want to show. Social distancing was exercised, masks were
mandated, temps were taken, and contact tracing forms applied. We had ZERO COVID -19
outbreaks and ZERO RHD outbreaks!

                                                                                               10

 District 5 continued…
 I encourage all to get out to do your part to promote our breed. Nothing happens sitting
 back waiting on the next guy to do it be the guy who does it. Don’t just be a leader BE A
 LEADER TO LEADERS!
 Several shows coming up here, Oct. 30-31 Halloween Havoc in Danville, IN hosted by Rabbit
 Renegades RBA, Dec. 11-12 Collision Course in Lebanon. IN hosted by Rabbit Renegade
 RBA. Then the final show of the year Dec. 31 at Danville, IN the Royal Rumble hosted by
 Rabbit Renegade RBA. These will all be triples except the NYE show which is a double and
 all shows will have multiple specialties with rare breed shows included.
 Pal National 2023?? Lebanon Indiana is an excellent place for a national they offer over
 1000 coops and help with funding is available. I know Cals are bidding nationals there in
 2023. I’m certain they would be very cohesive with Pals there too. Feel free to contact me
 anytime with ideas or questions.
 Until next time, may your next boxes be full of winners and east to the west pals are the
 best!
 Thank you, Robert Donnell

District 7 Report: Shannon Whitney

Hello members,
I’m sure you have all read a lot about NY in the news. NY is a large and
diverse state. Upstate NY (and by that, I mean almost Canada not Albany)
has been working to have some shows that meet the NY COVID requirements.
So far, they have done a great job! Pals were sanctioned at one and had excellent turn
out! Hope you are all doing well and are able to attend shows. Fingers crossed we will be
able to have more shows in the spring!

Hello Pal club members!

Fall is here and rabbits will finally get finished coats here in Pennsylvania.
There has only been a handful of shows here on the east coast. We are
all hoping for the best come spring.

                             I have some show reports to report from way back on August
                             8th. Montgomery County 4-H rabbit and cavy club had a little
                             show and Kathryn Rush came home with a Grand Champion
                             rabbit meat pen with a pen of Pals! This pen was bred by Jim
                             Brown and Kathryn Rush finished them out. Congratulations
                             to Kathryn!

I hope you all are keeping your does producing!
Until the next time I see all of you.
Take care and be safe.
