Hello All,
We had another fun meeting! There were a lot of moving parts and Nick, our treasurer, had his hands full between Polo shirts, Fish Food, Raffles and of course the fish auction. Elections were held which went very fast considering nobody else ran except the incumbents. We also had more new members join, and they were impressed with the club and all the things we do! The presentation by Tony Siano about his raising of guppies and angels in his fish room was informative. It was nice to see his fish room where he breeds and takes care of his fish.
The Ken’s fish food we are offering for sale was a big hit! Bigger than Nick and I anticipated. For the next meeting we will expand the line to include some other items. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to call or email me. If I do not get back to you in two or three days do not hesitate to reach out again. Many of your emails go into my junk folder the first-time emailing. Also remember that our polo shirts are in and for sale. I would like to see people wear them to the meeting and outside the meeting too. You would be surprised how many people are into fish but do not know about us.
The winners of the fish show were Ray taking second and third with his guppies. He raises some amazing guppies and has been doing it for years. Carla took first with a spectacular Praecox Rainbow. One of the most colorful of all the rainbowfishes. I am working on getting bowls for the fish show. I understand that they are in short supply and quite expensive. I have a lead on getting them much cheaper but need some input as to how many people want one or two and what size. Call or email me before the next meeting.
Our next meeting is our Annual Holiday Meeting. We are going to try something different with our big item raffle. Also, it is our dollar a fish bag auction where you get to keep all the proceeds from the fish auction except one dollar that goes to the club. Please bring fish. Save the date December 20th! See you there!!
