Hello All,
In less than two weeks we are having our annual Holiday Party! It will consist of two six-foot heroes with all the fixings and some great desserts. But that’s just the food part. We will have a dollar a bag fish auction where the club only gets one dollar and the rest of the money goes back to you! Nick, our treasurer, says we need the dollar for a handling fee LOL. I hope to see lots of fish in the auction. It will be nice to go home with new fish for the holidays. There will also be a can raffle so that you can put tickets in what you want to win. I am working on getting some great items for the raffle. It’s always a great time and I hope all will come!
As you know, at our last meeting we held elections. Nick remained our treasurer. Tracy is our recording secretary and takes pictures at the meeting which she has done for years. Brian is not only our computer guy but also our assistant treasurer. Peter takes care of check-ins and door prize tickets. Buzz is our fish show chairperson in charge of the fish show winners every meeting. There will also be a fish show at this meeting. I was voted in unanimously as president with my vice being Carla! I was amazed at how fast all the hands went up at once, voting us in as if it was planned. Thank You!!!
Our speaker at the last meeting was Henry from O’Henrys tanks a lot. What an amazing setup he has built, and he sells some of the best plants I have ever seen. He donated lots of plants to our auction as he also did at the meeting before. The plants are available on his website, or you can pick them up at his facility. The winners of the fish show were Harry with third, Maxx with second, and Buzz with first where he also received our little fish plaque. Our door prize winner was Jay who was eager to win the door prize!
Looking forward to the Holiday Party. Plan to arrive early for the event. Bring fish for the auction and fish show. I will of course have flake food, shirts and insulated bags with our logo on them. Nick has also been working on our club fish calendar which will be handed out at the meeting. It consists of the fish photos that club members submitted. See you there!!
See you there!!!
