[AGA-mcm] AC 2005 Class Sponsorships (fwd)

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Hi folks,

Here's a request from Kathy England of the Texas Cichlid Association, who 
would like to know if the AGA is interested in sponsoring the "Natural 
Cichlid Habitat" class in the ACA convention this July.  Kathy has been 
getting a surprisingly large number of local clubs and other unusual 
sources to sponsor awards this year (our Seattle club sponsored one, 
without any prompting from me!).  I said I'd ask after Scott & Karen got 
back from the Natural Cichlid Habitat.

The "Natral Cichlid Habitat" category is sort of like a biotope category 
It's also woefully under-entered, with Kathy herself seemingly providing 
half the entries each year.  It's also a far cry from what we're used to 
seeing in aquascaping... more like the biotope category in our contest. 
I already replied and told her it was a long shot, so expectations are 
low.

On the other hand, one could also view this as PR for the AGA, or saying 
thanks to a good regional club, several of whom made OUR 2003 convention a 
success.

Discussion?

  - Erik

Hey, Eric, and Kathy.  I am thinking out of the box here.  Reckon the AGA 
would be interested in sponsoring the Natural Cichlid Habitat class in the 
ACA show?  As I said, I'm thinking out of the box, and just because it's a 
natural habitat doesn't mean plants are involved.  But it was just a 
thought.  What are your thoughts on this?

Hope things are going well with y'all.  I have moved into the modern world 
- I now have a PC after having a Mac for about 7 years.  To say it's been 
an adjustment is a tremendous understatement!  But this, too, will work 
out.  Marvin's almost finished with his fish house, just needs to complete 
the painting.  Then the real work begins - moving everything from one 
place to another in the middle of winter!

Take care.  Hugs to Marcus

Kathy
