Hello All!
Hard to believe it’s our last meeting of the year! It’s time for the summer and we normally always take a break because our former venue was closed. We may have to revisit this decision in the future because our venue is available all year round. Our club keeps growing and many of us take care of fish outdoors in tubs and have ponds. It could be interesting to see if we could be an all-year round club although that would not give all the people that run the club a break. I do see many more people stepping up to help, which is great.
At our last meeting we had a great turnout with new members bringing their young fish keepers with them. I am happy to see younger people getting involved with fish keeping as a hobby. Our fish show had many more entries increasing the amount of competition for the first-place plaque. Carla took first with a beautiful Platy. Maxx, Tracy’s son took second with a Male Betta beating my Betta which took third. The raffle went off as usual. We did have another amazing fish auction! Glad to see Gene is back bringing in his amazing plecos. Must thank Fluid Dynamics for their plant and fish donations. Their store is amazing and it’s worth the trip to check it out. Cannot forget Don from Aqua Hut who has always supported our club over many years. Both stores have helped to bring different fish and plants to our auction.
The next meeting this Friday the 20th is our farewell for the summer, until September. There will be two six-foot heroes with salads and desserts. I want to make it big, so bring fish for the fish show and auction! I have been collecting items for our can raffle which is always fun. I hope to have at least twenty items to choose from. There will be lots of fish food available so stock up for the summer. Of course the meeting is for members only. If you want to join the club that night, it will be twenty dollars for the year, otherwise it will be five. I have some announcements, and I will open the floor for any questions about fish or the club. Hope to see everyone there!!
See you there!!!
