Our Club Meets:
Every Fourth Tuesday of the Month
at the Moore Library in Tacoma, WA, from 5:30-7:30 p.m

We begin with a General Meeting, led by members, followed by a Group Animal Activity.
All members study their pet's basic care & diseases  This is done mostly at home! At meetings, everyone learns fitting and showing of their animals so they can show off their skills at local 4H shows, fairs and events!
