February 13, 2015 – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Effective immediately Broome County Rabbit Breeders Association (BCRB) shall now be known a Cayuga Lake Area Rabbit and Cavy Club. The club shall also use the official acronym CLARCC in communications, ads, etc.
This change was not an easy one. We recognize that our club has a very long history as BCRB having been founded in 1966. We are still the same club with the same people. The only difference is that we now move forward with a name that is more indicative of what the club has evolved into in the 21st century.
Over the last 7 years our event has been known as the Cayuga Lake Rabbit & Cavy Festival in Ithaca NY. Our new name:
- Recognizes that we are the host of this extraordinary event. Often there was confusion for our club to be associated with an area for which we have no member residents and where we have not hosted a show in several decades.
- Adds recognition of cavies into our club name which are a significant part of our show.
- Our shortened name (CLARCC) is a nice prounceable acronym.
Regardless of what we are named our goal is to provide an exceptional event for our hobby. Please join us to celebrate our new name at the 8th annual Cayuga Lake Rabbit & Festival June 20th to 21st 2015 at 4H Acres in beautiful Ithaca, NY
Sincerely,
Jamie Damoth – President – CLARCC
