Why did you join NLA?

 

    " We joined the NLA to gain more knowledge about raising llamas and alpacas. We continue to be NLA members because of the wonderful people we have met and become friends with in the NLA." 

                                                                              -Holly Jensen

 

    "Diversity... is why we continue to be NLA members. NLA is composed of a group of outstanding young ones and their 4H sponsors, many adult llama/alpaca owners who excel in the show ring and eagerly share their expertise, it also includes members who just enjoy their pets and finally farms, like ours, that use the NLA for networking, marketing and helping others to understand the business aspect of llama and alpaca ownership." 

                                                                              -Robin Buettenback

 

     "My reason for being a NLA member is because I enjoy the llama group and enjoy going to all the events and talk with the other members about llama/ alpaca events and finding answers to some of my questions about their care. I don't think one person can ever know all the questions so that is why am a member."

                                                                                -Dorene Sillman

     "I joined NLA back in the 90s to learn about my llamas and tap into the knowledge from the members. Little did I know I would acquire a lifetime llama family, help start the Lancaster Star City Llama 4H club, and become active in the creation of performance show courses. The journey has been enriching and the friendships so precious." 

                                                                               -Karen Kurbis

 

      "We joined the NLA with the purpose of learning more about our llamas and alpacas. The relationships we have developed and the chances to interact with this group at various events has far outweighed the benefits more than we could have ever imagined. "

                                                                                -Suzy Hassler

 

       "I joined back in 2005 and I was hoping to meet other llama people that like to drive there llamas. At first I was the only one now there are more llama cart drivers. I have meet wonderful friends and like how everyone will help you out when you need it and the wonderful kids in this group. "

                                                                               -Ranee Forney 

 

       "I joined in 2012 to learn more about llamas. I was new at this llama thing so needed lots of advice. Getting to know new friends that help you when needed and just to discuss problems or happy events with is wonderful. I have met so many new friends and the meetings and get together are so much fun! Information is free to anyone that asks and the young people are so great and to watch them progress from year to year is amazing."
