Lifetime Achievement Award

[Mike Gilbert]

Congratulations to Paul and Angela Smith!    At the 2006 National Meet in Frankenmuth they were awarded the annual A.B.C. Lifetime Achievement Award for meritorious service to the club and the breed over a period of many years.   Paul and Angela have shipped thousands of chicks and birds to at least 32 states of the union.   They have attended every national meet since they first became involved, driving many thousands of miles to attend and participate.   They have achieved American Poultry Association Master Exhibitor status solely on their Ameraucana winnings.   They have been tremendous ambassadors for the breed.  Paul and Angela are model members of the Ameraucana Breeders Club.   They received a beautiful plaque to commemorate this award at the recent annual meeting of the club.   Congratulations!

  THANKS!  It\'s been both a challenge and fun.  We have decreased our breeding flock for 2007, to devote more time to building our new house.  Hope to be back producing many good quality chicks to share in 2008, if our government will allow us to.
