It is not only my honor but also a privilege for me to announce that I have decided to award Stan Alder with our Ameraucana Alliance Lifetime Achievement Award this year. Stan has not only been a long time member but is also a charter member of our Alliance. Stan has served on the board, donated to our silent auctions, helped improve the large fowl blues, not to mention mentoring many new breeders along the way. I could continue and mention a lot more but anyone that’s ever met Stan knows he is a true asset to our Alliance and is deserving of this award. Thanks Stan Alder for all you have done for our Alliance and the Ameraucana breed, I look forward to presenting you this award at our annual meeting in Knoxville my friend.
