Hello, my name is Tracy Weaver, and I am the current President of the Florida Alpaca & Llama Association, Inc. (FALA).  We began in July 2004 due to the growing desire and need for education of the llamas and alpacas.  Our Corporate purpose is to educate members and the public as to the breeding, raising, caring for and exhibition or showing of llamas and alpacas and to promote and advance the interests of the lama community as a whole.

Our bylaws were developed with everyone in mind, not only the llama/alpaca breeders and owners, but for anyone interested in these animals we love so much. 

We will and have held seminars on showing, shearing, worming, fecal testing, and more events are in the planning stages.   We sponsor many of the alpaca and llama shows in Florida and the Southeast.
