Croquet News 2018 Volume 3 Chart Error

I am sorry to report that there is a misleading error in the State Membership Trends feature in the current print version 2018 Volume 3 edition of the USCA's Croquet News. The two chart legends have the wrong regions relative to the colors on the charts. The digital edition and the web edition on the USCA website have been corrected. We will run a correction in the next print issue as well and I apologize for the confusion. The corrected chart is also included below for reference.
