Beginning immediately TSA Partners will be able to purchase direct from Zoo Med at reduced prices. This offer is only for Partner members.

Zoo Med, our major sponsor for last year’s conference has made this offer as a part of their continuing support for the TSA and its turtle conservation work. Its primary purpose as stated by Shane Bagnall, Zoo Med Laboratories, Inc. Research and Development Department is to “help offset the out-of-pocket costs associated with captive husbandry of threatened and endangered Chelonians.”

Partners must understand that products bought through this program are for their use only and are not for resale. The only exception is for veterinary clinics with a resellers permit that offer Zoo Med products to their clients.

To order material you must contact Shane directly at Zoo Med by calling their toll free number (888) 496-6633. Shane will then send you a catalog and price list. Orders will be placed through the “TSA account”, which has already been set up, and will be shipped directly to the Partner’s address. This way the TSA can assure Zoo Med that only Partners in good standing are ordering. Payment can be via credit card, or Partners can prepay with a check.

To participate, Partners must be in good standing and have paid their dues! When ordering, Partners must also provide Zoo Med with their Partner membership number.

To find your membership number:

• . Visit www.turtlesurvival.org
• . Click on “Partner Pages” under the “TSA Partner” tab
• . From the membership page, scroll down (lower left corner of the page) and log in with your Username and password
• . When taken to your member page, click “View my Profile”. The membership number is a five digit number near the bottom of the profile.

If you have any questions you may contact Heather Lowe, TSA Membership Coordinator, Heather Lowe or call at (817) 759-7179

We hope that Partners will take advantage of this offer for their own benefit, and to also show their gratitude to Zoo Med for their continuing support of the TSA.

You will also find Shane and a large selection of Zoo Med products available for the same reduced prices, at next year’s conference in St Louis, 11-13 August 2006.
