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,

We are new to Ameraucanas, but have really enjoyed meeting all of the people that we have met in this breed. My Mom and Aunt actually got bit by the Ameraucana bug last year. This year, we searched and found the breeders and birds that we wanted to work with.

I joined the association to help me learn more about the breed. I was excited to find the forum and have really enjoyed reading all of the posts in an attempt to learn from breeders who have more experience than we do. I have bred and shown cattle, goats, dogs, and rabbits in the past. It always seemed to be some kind of drama or power struggle in every club or association. When we started breeding and showing poultry, I made myself the promise that I was just going to enjoy breeding and showing and not get involved in the leadership or politics. When I read the first post on this thread, I thought "here we go again".

I appreciate Susan for being understanding and editing her original post. It seems to be more user friendly. I am thankful that I kept reading and did not unsubscribe from the forum.  I also appreciate all of the work that the leadership has done in the past and the people who are now coming into office. I have been there and done that. I know that leadership is a thankless job.

Be Blessed,
Ernie Haire
