This will be the first of two special combined meeting with Rocky Mountain Cichlid Association this year.  The other combined meeting will be in September.

Originally scheduled as a salt-water related meeting, we took a left turn and instead we will feature Kevin Fehringer of RMCA to talk about their growth contest fish this time; and surprise surprise the RMCA growth contest fish will be open to CAS members as well.  So come and find out what it is and we will also talk about the upcoming Spring auction scheduled for Saturday 4/18.
