How much does it cost to sponsor the class. I'm not philosophically opposed
as long as it's not too much.
While we're discussing it, though, we should probably discuss a general
policy for this type of thing. Maybe have like $100 limit on sponsorships,
first come first served. Otherwise, once the word gets out that we're doing
it, we could have meore requests than we can fulfill, and end up with hard
feelings when we turn some club down. If we have a set policy, we can say,
"Gee, we would have been happy to support your club if you'd contacted us
earlier. But our sponsorship budget is already used up for the year.
Remember to contact us earlier next year!"

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
