Spring has finally sprung! I hope you have some eggs in the incubator and some chicks in the brooder.

We enjoyed an amazing 51% increase in traffic since last month so thanks for using the website and telling others about the service we provide. Knowing you are benefiting from and using the website makes all our work worthwhile!

We've done a little rearranging on our navigation bar to simplify the educational pages. We are getting so much on the site it was time to trim things down. We are always open to guest articles for the website and I know a lot of you have expertise we would be happy to include as an article. Let us know!

We are now offering a new opportunity to get extra exposure for your upcoming show. We are offering a "Featured Show" opportunity on the Show Dates pages. 3 pages (State, Region, Month) for one price of $10/month. If you think this may be something your club would benefit from, visit our Show Secretary Services page or send us an email and let us know of your interest.

We've been busy getting spring swap dates onto the website. We have quite a few new ones listed and I'm sure there are more we haven't even heard about! As always, let us know, if you know of one we've missed.
