Hello All!
It was great to see everyone back after our summer vacation for the first meeting. I think we all kind of missed the club get togethers but were also busy doing summertime activities. Now it’s time to get back into the swing of meetings every third Friday of the month. I have some ideas for a few changes this year to keep the club interesting. The fish food has been a hit, and I have totally restocked, so food will be available at the next meeting. There will be a new item available that will be announced at the next meeting that I will let out of the “bag” then.
At our last meeting all went as usual. We did have a really good fish auction which I did not expect. It helps the club when members bring their fish in to sell, and people bid then up. Also stores that donate fish and plants we must thank, especially Don from Aqua Hut in Coram, and Fluid Dynamics in Deer Park. The fish show had multiple entries. Maxx taking third with a killie, Mary and Kosta second with a gold marble angel, and Carla first with a pineapple sword. Our fish show chairman Buzz wants to shake things up a little and at our next fish show, so only angelfish will be entered. Our club seems to have lots of angels so it should be interesting.
October is dues month. It’s twenty dollars for the whole year. This is only two dollars a meeting for two hero parties, fish shows, auctions, raffles, refreshments, speakers and all the other laughs and hoopla that goes along with our meeting. Only members get a door prize ticket and can vote in our yearly elections. Speaking about the November elections, anyone can be nominated for a position in the club, and all nominations will be welcome.
Hope to see you all at the next meeting! Plan to arrive between 7 and 7:30 especially if you have angelfish for the show or fish for the auction. There will be a speaker so the meeting will start at eight, so we have enough time to hang out. Also, if anyone has a question or fish problem you want to bring up to the group you can talk to me or ask during the announcements in the beginning. We all learn from each other. And remember Peter will be collecting dues!
See you there!!!
