How wonderful!  This is a great venue and the host club is awesome.  this is one show I try to attend both in the spring and fall so to have the national here is a bonus for me.  Thank you board of directors for accepting this bid. 

Look forward to seeing all your smiling faces at the show and talking chicken!

As you all have read in our Spring Newsletter this year’s National show committee will be Bruno Menarim, Brian Bailey with myself acting as Chairman of this committee. Bruno was originally going to act as chairman but he unfortunately had some other commitments pop up that would interfere with these duties so I agreed to assume those responsibilities.

There will be a long list of task that we would appreciate help with if anyone that is attending would like to help us with. Some of these will be clerking and judging the egg contest, help man the silent auction and club table, filling out the meet report, calculating displays and much more that I know I am forgetting right now. If you have the willingness to volunteer feel free to leave a comment or send me an email at slicktree{at}hotmail.com, thanks for reading this and I look forward to seeing some of you there.

Oh if you have any extra breeding quality Ameraucana that you would like to donate to our silent auction please let me know with a comment or in an email as well. As we get closer I will post a list of all of our donations, including the members name who generously donated them.
