San Gabriel Valley Chapter

The Al Robbins Chapter meetings are held at 7:30 pm on the second Tuesday of each month. Members are allowed to bring, but not sell, animals. Everyone is welcome at our meetings membership is not required. Although the business portion of our meeting begins at 7:30 pm, many folks show up early to help the Master at Arms set up chairs. Coming early also allows time to show off critters they have brought with them, ask questions about problems they may be having with their critters and tell about "the beauty that got away." We try to complete business by 8:00 to allow our speaker as much time as possible before we have to vacate the building by 9:30.

Meeting Location:
East Bakersfield Veterans Building
