Hello and happy holidays everyone!
It’s December already. I can hardly believe it. It seemed like only yesterday I was bewildered by the beauty of my ponds and here we are talking about Christmas and what we will be doing at the club to help others at Christmas. We are having a Neighbour to Neighbour food drive. Please bring a non perishable food item or items to the next meeting. We are also having a fish table raffle with items that you donate to help donate money to the food drive. For every $10 we donate, it is worth $100 to a family in need. Please donate if you can. We are also having a great night of fun. Noel always provides us with a great game for the December meeting. Will it be Millionaire or has he found a new game for us all to enjoy. You’ll find out it you make it to the meeting. Also, remember to bring your appetite. Pizza and wings are the treat for the night. Bring a desert or treat to share if you like.
If you are looking for something to do on the weekend of Dec 3, 4, 5 the Hamilton and District Aquarium Society will be representing the pet industry at the P.E.T.S. tradeshow at the
Ancaster Fall Grounds. Come and listen to Frank H speak on taking care of fish in the aquarium. Check the website for more information.
I’d like to thank Sue B for her presentation last month on Dwarf African Frogs. Great job Sue. I’d also like to thank Charley Grimes for his awesome presentations at the dinner night on Nov 13. What a great night. I hope you all enjoyed this event as much as I did. Charley is still one of my favourite speakers. I was lucky enough to hear Charley speak again the following weekend in Cleveland at the Ohio Cichlid Convention. What a great time. If you’re looking for a convention to attend, this is definately the one you should attend. Its inexpensive and full of cichliholics.
January’s speaker is Bob Wright talking about his trip to Nevada last fall. It is also election time for the club. If you are interested in a position on the executive please let me know. There are also positions available that we need help with. We are looking for help in the library. We are also looking for someone to help us with a new program CARES. If you are interested in helping in any area of the club, please let me know
We have set up a dinner night at the Mandarin for any club members and their guest for Thurs. Dec. 16. If you can make it please let us know at the meeting. There will be a sign up sheet at the meeting.
Hope to see you all there.
Carla
