The Arizona Rivulin Keepers 2006 Cactus Killie Cook-Out will be the biggest and best yet. Mark March 11th on your calendar and plan to be in Phoenix!

Did we mention that there is no registration fee and that the chicken dinner is included at no cost? Did we mention that the speakers will be using a state-of-the-art lecture facility at Arizona State University? Did we mention that the evening portion will be at an exclusive home overlooking much of Phoenix?

ARK has arranged for three well-recognized speakers who will present a total of four programs. The first of these is Tony Terceira. Tony will cover two topics. His first session will be a Photo Workshop. His second session is tentatively a review of the killies belonging to the old "Roloffia" group.

If you plan to attend the 2006 ARK Cactus Killie Cook-Out, we need to know ahead of time. Please send an e-mail to azkillie@cox.net to let us know you are coming. Thanks, and see you there!
