RE: [AlpacaTalk] Re: was AFCNA now secrets
Stephanie,
Will this happen through the AOBA Fiber Committees?
I also believe someone asked if there was any connection between AOBA and
AFCNA. If I responded to the wrong site or someone else has answered this
sorry for the repetition. If I recall correctly AOBA gave the AFCNA $10,000
for start-up funding in exchange for a permanent non-voting AFCNA Board
seat.

That would require paying money to an organization
that will not provide the products (or yarn) that we
used to get when AFCNA was new. They processed the
fiber and sent it back to you in skeins and cones. Not
anymore. I would never pay money to a company that
doesn't offer what I want and is shady in the way it
deals with questions about how it does business.
This whole conversation is going nowhere. AFCNA won't
budge and talking with other farms doesn't solve
anything because AFCNA won't budge.
A new solution to the problem will present itself in
the future that has nothing to do with AFCNA.
Processing with sorting will be provided (including
2nd and 3rds-there are products to be made with them
also) with the option of getting yarn back and/or
products.
Everything will work out just fine for everyone.
