First I want to thank Eric for the summary of NEC. I sure regret being
unable to particapate in some of those disscussions.
I vote "yes" for an 'AQUARIUM PLANT MEETING/WORKSHOP' in Tenn. I would
be unavailable the weekend of Oct 15th but otherwise yes. I hope it does not
go into Nov as we are getting into our winter season and the weather can be
tricky.
Jack, are we not sending out renewal letters any more? I think they are
an important tool to keep up membership. I hope this can be resolved.
