This is the first I'm hearing of any error. If there is an error, it can be easily corrected. The meet reports for both shows were posted shortly after I got home and any errors could have been easily corrected.

That is not actually a correct statement. I sent copies of both the National and Club meet reports out to all the club member exhibitors, for their review and corrections, on Mon or Tuesday after the meet weekend. Sherry did notify me of a correction for her R CH AOSB win, which was immediately corrected and the amended meet report uploaded and sent to her for her records. The added win did not change her points, however, as those only apply to BB/RB and BV/RV wins for Club Meets, and up through CH and R CH Ameraucana wins for District and National meets.
So there was a mistake on the original report. I was notified of the correction, it was made within 24 hours, and the corrected meet report was uploaded and sent to Sherry.
Lisa Helms:
Ok....I am going to stay a member. I have felt very alienated just because I will express my views. I realize that it is hard work setting up a show. Maybe my perceptions weren't accurate. I was there and I didn't win, which I accept gracefully.....My birds weren't up to par. I brought them just to come to a National. Molt has been hard here. I brought them for points for winners. Never expected to win. So if I hurt feelings I'm sorry. A few people were nice to me. Some didn't even acknowledge me. That is fine.
Lisa Helms:
I will however be a silent member.

Lisa, I am glad that you are going to stay a member of the ABC. I hope that I did not offend you at the 2018 ABC National Show. I know that I did not get to meet as many of the newer members as I hoped to. After a 14 hour drive plus losing an hour coming from the west, we checked into the motel in north Dayton. Plans were to drive the 35 minutes to the fairgrounds Friday evening, but it was late and we stayed at the motel to rest up. We got up early Saturday morning and headed for the fairgrounds. I must admit that I was still somewhat in zombie land most of Saturday. My first priority was to meet some of my old ABC members that I had not seen since the 2015 National Show in Fayetteville, AR (Don Cash, Jeff and Cheryl Vance, Clif Redden-who was not present, and others). I also wanted to meet in person Susan Mouw who I had talked with many times on the phone and conversed with emails over the years. Naturally I wanted to look at the Ameraucanas on display. I would have liked to talked to Jerry Desmidt and Paul and Angela Smith more, but I knew they were either clerking, tabulating points or taking pictures. We got up early Sunday morning and started on the long trek home. I do have a suggestion to bring to the board that at next year's National Show meeting that we take time to introduce the ABC Board of Directors, each member be introduced and tell briefly about themselves and their interest in Ameraucanas. That would help put a face with a name and help stimulate further discussion among members. I certainly wish you the best for the remainder of the year and the coming new year of hatching and growing out new youngsters. I don't have any suggestions on molt, I know that we have all faced that problem one time or another during the show season.
Don:
Lisa, I am glad to hear that you are going to stay and be a working member of the club. We need more folks working on the breed out in the Middle of the country. Gordon and Paul could use more help in promoting the breed in the midwest. Feel free to let your Directors know what works better and which shows you'll plan to attend. And it would be great if we could get you interested in bantams too. Sherry needs more competition, And we need to get you all to travel out east more. It was great to meet you at Greenville.
