Ameraucana Breeders Club - Statement from the Board of Directors
Peggy Taylor:
I want to personally thank our current board for outlining the events of this issue to the membership. Now, with all the speculating out of the way, we can move on to more fun things with this great breed. I am busy trying to figure out how I am going to make all the meets in our district...its a nice problem to have !
I do urge one thing....Going forward..lets insure complete confidentiality in all elections in order that each person feels comfortable in voting their convictions without concern for any recriminations, etc,. You do need some form of member ID to insure that a person does have the right to vote but under no circumstances should anyone with an interest in the results handle, count, or be involved in ANY manner. As an earlier post pointed out, there are places to do this. I personally don't mind signing my ballots as you can be assured I am perfectly capable of telling you to get out of my business and will. But most people like their privacy in voting.
If a group wants to start another club...for what ever reason...so be it, this is a free country. However, the "recruitment" offer aimed at current ABC members was in extremely poor taste and revealed more to me than anything else that could have been said.
I am going to shut up now and go hug my Ameraucana ! God Bless.
Peggy

Nice post, Peggy. You and I think alot alike. I appreciate the work that the new Board has done and the efforts of everyone to stay positive and move forward. Although we are new to this breed and this club, it ain't our first rodeo. I just want to enjoy working with and showing Ameraucanas. We have been blessed to be able to meet some great people in this group and plan to do all that we can to support the club and the breed.
Be Blessed,
Ernie Haire

Wow!
I've been so busy the last 2 years being my father's caregiver, medical liaison and maid I haven't been on much at all. Glad I missed it. It looks like all concerned are exercising the first amendment right of freedom of assembly and association. It is nice that this synopsis was put politely. We will not always agree on issues in our lives, that is the nature of thinking human beings, but we can still be kind to one another.

I like your style Denise. Nicely said. :)

I have also been approached by the Ameraucana Alliance through email to join their group. Didn't find anything negative about their invite. Though, my plans are to stay here for now. I'm paid up for a while, so I'll follow here for now and will make the decision wheather to renew membership when the time comes.
I must admit that I'm hesitant of being a part of either of the Ameraucana clubs. Really, I do not have to be a part of any ameraucana club to enjoy the breed, but I admit it is fun learning of others who enjoy them as much.
I would like to say that posting and removing, blocking and banning members from the site is extreme with me. Especially, when there are concerns to hide what one has said by removing it. I feel that it is okay to repremand, but what is out on the forum regardless of who wrote it should be able to be read by 'members'. Not, deleted...maybe just locked. This would give members a better perspective on what is transpiring on the forum, why a thread was locked, or why a person was in need of repremand by the club. Even now, after reading both sides of the story of what was posted here on ABC and what was sent to me through emails from Ameraucana Alliance, it is likely, in time, that I'll remain a part of neither!
