Title: 40th Anniversary rosette up for bid
Post by: John W Blehm on October 03, 2018, 06:00:03 PM: I ordered 30 of these rosettes and gave 23 away to Alliance members that attended our Ameraucana National Meet. The board of directors agreed to also give one to each of our officers that weren't there, along with one to Jerry Segler and one to Don Cable. They are two of three charter members from 40 years ago that are still in the club. That leaves one to go to the member with the highest bid. I believe we should start with $10 as a minimum and give it a week to see what interest there is, so please bid by October 10th.

These Rosettes are really nice and will be a collectors item, as there will never be any more just like them. They are about 16 inches long from top to bottom.

Linda Ferguson is one of the two I referred to. The nursing home where he used to be can not provide any information. Silly law, but that's the way it is.
