News flash, I have always stated our Alliance members generosity is the greatest. Let me tell you first hand they lived up to that expectation and then some. I am pleased to announce thanks to Stan Alder’s generous donation of a trio of large Fowl Whites and pair of blue Pullets. Michael Gilbert generous donation of a pair of white Bantams. Sandra Bailey wonderful donation of a beautiful pair of large fowl black. Jeff Sonsalla’s generous donation of a Bantam lavender pair. John Blehm’s awesome donation of a neat Ameraucana sign. There was also a pair of large fowl brown reds, a trio of Bantam Wheaten/Blue Wheaten, also a large fowl blue Cockerel to go with Stan’s pullets we had an impressive offering to exhibit. So thank you to all of you that selfishly donated. The amazing thing is our memberships generosity was matched 10 folds by those who bid on them. So thank you to all the winning bidders (many are also club members) Kraig Shaffer who won the lf whites, Bob Rennolet (and Jim Feggan) who won the lf Blacks, new member Stacy Melton who won the lf brown reds, Julie Gressel who won the lf blues, Amber Ringer for winning the Bantam Whites, Rob Sando who won the lavender Bantam, Sabrina Dolph who won the Wheaten/Blue Wheaten, and Michael Gilbert who won the sign. These bidders generosity brought in a whopping $755 that I have donated to our Ameraucana Alliance for special awards for the 2020 National/Nationals. This will be the 40th Anniversary since the very first Ameraucana Bantams were recognized at that historic 1980 qualifying Meet. So I want to thank each and everyone of you, and many I forgot to mention that helped drive the bids up. This type of generosity is what helps make our Alliance the premier breed specific club in my opinion. Thanks and see you all next year
