Re: [AGA-mcm] AGA International News

Hi Phil,

I cc’d this to the Convention Committee list. At this point, it looks like we’ll be opening registration on Thursday night so that people are all set by Friday morning and the field trip. So at least some of us will need to stay at the hotel. We’ll be having our “bagging party” for the auction plants later that night.

I strongly suspect that at least some of us will be around on Wednesday to meet our foreign guests. As time gets closer, we can make specific plans… Maybe we could bring them to your house that night?

In any case, thank you so much for offering, and for being the “man on the ground”. I’m sure we will need you there!!!

Karen

I was going through my email inbox and found this message from Catherine sent to me on 6/10 while she was still in Bermuda. I thought y'all might get a kick out of seeing it. I've been to the store and they've got a poster or two of the generic aquarium plants and the Nature Aquarium World books circa late 90s but that's about it. I never got the impression that the owner would care one way or the other about aquatic plants.

I forgot to tell you a funny thing that happened yesterday. I went to Pic A Pet to buy a cat carrier for Magic. I loitered in the fish section for a bit of course and got to talking with the owner of the store. I told him that I liked fish keeping but was moving to Atlanta soon so I wouldn’t be buying anything here. He immediately told me that I should consider checking out the AGA conference while I was there J

Do we have any members in Bermuda?

On an unrelated note, I'd like to extend another invitation to everyone on the list who will be in Atlanta on the Thursday before the conference to come have a visit at my house before everyone shows up that night. I've taken Thursday off and am available to help get local legwork done as needed. If anyone's going to be coming in on Wednesday or earlier let me know too and we'll figure something out.

Regards,

Phil
