Each year someone asks me "Are we doing a club ad for the APA". Even though the Alliance is a dues paying associate member of the APA they don't notify us, so I have to check to see if and what they are doing as far as a yearbook. They have a link on their site with the Yearbook info (http://amerpoultryassn.com/PDF%20Forms/APA%20media%20kit%20Final%20proof%202018.pdf).
Of couse you may buy your own ads, but historically we offer Alliance members to join together in buying a "club" page or more. Last year 3 members joined together to get a black and white club page.
The cost is $20/per 1/8 page ad space for black and white and $37.50/per space for color as I read their info. May 1st is the submission deadline and they have a couple volunteers that will work with you to design your ad if wanted. I'll need to know if you are participating. Once we have enough to fill a page (B&W or color) you can pay the Alliance (we then pay the APA) and we can see if there is enough interest in another page or more.
-
I guess we are doing b&w again? If so, I'll put something in.
-
Depending on the participation we can do B&W and/or color pages...just specify.
-
Debbie Hogan will take one ad space. I told the facebook crew that April 15th was the deadline.
-
With Sue, Debbie and me that makes 3 out of six needed...if we all take single ads. The only limit is 6 per page. I'll do a color page if the other want too also.
In an email from Dave Anderson, APA Director and Yearbook Chair:
...The one thing I can assure you of is that, in the future, a Yearbook will be sent to all advertisers, even those on a club page. That should have been happening anyway.

I think Russ will join -- he typically does. If not and we go b&w we can take two a piece and that would be about the same as one colour one. Debbie would go along with that. As for Dave's comment, I agree, that usually is business sop, but at least they realize their error and are correcting it going forward.
-
If you end up needing just one space to fill up a page, then put me down. But not if somebody else wants the space.
-
I can take a space or two just let me know, either color or BW
-
I am willing to take up to a half page color add if needed, or as little as one as well ;)
-
I'll take one in colour or if need two in b/w. I am not doing anything for the ABA.

Thanks Russ, Sue, Mike and Debbie!
-
I think it's great that Russ has Uncle Dave in his ad. That's sweet.
-
John did another fantastic job with the adds this year, thanks Sue for the kind words and John for the awesome add
-
You're more than welcome Russell. And I agree, John did a bang up job with the ads. I did rather miss not seeing FowlStuff though.

And he followed thru! It came in the mail today addressed to the "Ameraucana Alliance". :)
-
Glad to hear this John, I am optimistic that the APA is heading in the right direction. As with any club, it takes members willing to help in order to make it a success.
-
Awesome! Glad to hear they followed through!

I've lost total respect for that organization after all the mistakes in this Yearbook. Even the articles were garbage. I will not be reupping next year.
