Hello All,
I was so happy that the meeting went on as planned and was a great success. I unfortunately had a health issue pop up the Wednesday afternoon before the meeting which pretty much disabled me for a few days. Nick, our treasurer, and my right-hand man said the meeting must go on, rallied the troops, and even got the wives involved to help. Nick and John came to my house and picked up all the stuff required for the meeting that I had stored to set everything up. So, a big thanks to Nick, John and everyone that stepped up!!!
I was supposed to present my second half of Fish Bio 101 but that was not going to happen. Nick called my friend Joe F. and asked him if he could step in. Joe and I have traded presentations back and forth between many of the clubs and he was more than happy to come out. I hope everyone liked the presentation on his fish room which truly does take up his whole basement including a museum of old fish tank items and memorabilia. I will continue Fish Bio at our next meeting.
It looked like our fish show and auction went well with Brian taking first place and winning a fish plaque and blue ribbon. Carla took second with her gold ram. The auction had quite a few items and I am sure members went home with some nice new fish. Keep bringing in fish for the auction and enter the fish show. It is our members that vote in the show so you never know you may win the nice first place fish plaque.
Our next meeting is Friday the 21st and as usual I should be there around 6:30 to start setting up and to hang out and catch up. We will try to start between 7:30 and 8. It will be as usual, with a presentation, refreshments, fish show and auction. Do not worry if you get there late, I know there is work and traffic.
