Dear Llama Owners,

RE: ILR Membership Survey 2006

In the last week, the ILR office sent surveys via the US postal service to all ILR members who we do not have e-mail addresses for. We also sent a survey link via e-mail to all llama owners in our database whose e-mail address we have.

The purpose of the brief survey is to determine your motivations in owning llamas. We would also like your feedback and suggestions about new services that the ILR might develop to make the ILR as useful as possible to llama owners like you.

The results of this survey are being compiled by ADG, a firm hired by the ILR to help us in planning for the future. These results will be made available through the ILR website and will also provide the basis for discussions led by Kevin Oschner of ADG, about the future direction of the llama industry. These discussions will take place with Kevin on the Lamaribbean Cruise/Conference next winter.

If you have not had time to fill out your survey, you can click here http://www.lamaregistry.com/survey.php and do it right now!

If you have not yet signed up for the Lamaribbean, you can read more about it at this link http://www.lamaregistry.com/lamaribbean.html. We would love to have you there to participate in stimulating conversations about what might lie ahead for the llama industry. As a dynamic and well-respected speaker throughout the livestock world, Kevin will also be our main speaker at the conference. In addition, you will find that the principles he talks about will prove useful in your personal life as well as any other business you may be involved in.

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to fill out this survey. Your input is valuable and a way for you to have a say in the future of the llama industry.

Sincerely,

Kathi McKinney, Sally Rucker, Karen Baum, Sally Taylor, Mark Smith

The ILR Board of Directors
