November meeting is Friday 11/01 7:00 PM
​​

Happy Halloween!

​

Please note:  this month we will meet in a different room:  Friendship Hall is at the basement level, just go to the end of the main hall, down the stairs and turn right. 

 

Every year our November meeting is when we elect our new Board of Directors and Officers.  For the coming year 2025 the proposed BoD are as follows

  President:  James Fang

  Vice President and Secretary:  Carol Mauch

  Treasurer:  Tawnya Albright

  Members at Large: 

    Kevin Thurston

    Larry Brown

    Sean Morton* (new)

    Christopher Duckworth* (new)

Since there are total of 7 (odd number) board members and unless there are last minute nominations, the election will be in the form of Yes/No (approve or disapprove).

 

Angelfish, the growth contest fish has been out since this past May, are due back for their 6-months assessment.  Contestants, bring your biggest specimen and we'll see who's got the big one.  Remember, similar to the Bowl Show, you stand a very good chance of winning if you just bring your fish!

Please arrive early to setup your tank/display and fill out necessary paperwork

 

​

Presenter: Kevin Thurston

Topic: All About Fish

 

Our Auction Chair strikes again!  This time Kevin will show some pictures that will inspire conversations among us fish keepers.  This is an interactive session where attendees are encouraged to share thoughts and experiences with the fish.
