Only if they know to look there!  I won't put a link to it anywhere.  So
assuming it stays within this group, the public won't know.

Our local club has scaled back our membership to non-voting because we do
not directly derive much from FAAS.  Things I beleive they do provide: 

  * HAP (not very popular, run by Dean Sliger :)
  * Article contests (can be good for author exposure, but they did lose
    half of last year's entries)
  * Redistribution point for other aquarium societies about relevant
    issues in legislation (Karen's recent post about MA and NH?
    restrictions would be an excellent candidate for this).

The last point is probably the most useful one.  Stuff that comes in to
FAAS gets broadcasted to a multitude of aquarium societies via their
bulletin. At least it used to.

Hope this helps.  Perhaps Bruce can fill in more details when he comes on
board.
