Ron
Pairan, AU Vice President
On
behalf of the American Racing Pigeon Union, I would like to thank the very
generous breeders who donated some fantastic birds for our successful 2017 AU
Scholarship Auction conducted during the convention. The AU awards three
$2,000 scholarships each year to AU members or relatives of AU members, under
23 years of age.

I
would also like to thank Karen Clifton and Deone Roberts, committee members
Shannon Demler and Bob McKenna, as well as all the AU Board members who helped
solicit donations.
Bob
McKenna received the birds, vaccinated them, had their pictures taken, and
shipped the birds to Arizona. During the
auction, Bob was on the phone with iPigeon, while his wife Naomi took care of
the technical work. The auction would never have taken place without the help
of Dick
Doud. Dick received the birds and housed them before the auction. On the day of
the auction, he brought the birds to the hotel, along with the show cages, and
agreed to ship the birds to their new homes after the auction. Thank you Dick!
