[AGA-mcm] AGA 2005

["Phil Edwards" <biotypical@hotmail.com>]

Hey folks,

The Charlotte Area Aquarists Society (hopefully with help from Carolina 
Aquatic Plant Enthusiasts) is interested in hosting the '05 convention.  
We're going to be discussing the possibility at our Dec. 4th meeting and I'd 
like some feedback from everyone here.  We've got a lot of folks between the 
two groups, with a core of about 4-6 really dedicated folks in CLT.  My 
question to y'all is how involved in the organization is the AGA willing to 
get?  Ideally I would love to see an AGA representative involved 
hand-in-hand with the committee chairs/members here in town.  This is still 
in the "seriously considering it" phase, but if the AGA were to get strongly 
involved in the organization from the start it would go a long way towards 
getting to the "we're willing to do it" stage.

Ideas for things so far.

Theme: Gone Native, a look at things around you.
Speakers: Native aquatic  and wetland plant and fish specialists from area 
universities
Field Trip: Local botanical gardens, visits to local urban wetlands, 
possibly state park wetland

Thoughts, comments, concerns, offers? :)

Best,
Phil
