[AGA-Member] ACA in July -- Fund- and Awareness-raising

[Cheryl Rogers <cheryl@wilstream.com>]

Hi!

The ACA (American Cichlid Association) convention is coming up July 21 - 
24 in Ft. Worth, TX. Larry Lampert helped the AGA (that's us) to acquire 
a table in their vendor room. Thanks, Larry!

Larry had the great idea of selling plants at the AGA table, since we 
can't put them in the auction this year. This would raise both awareness 
and funds.

But we need people to help out at the table. If you were planning to go 
to ACA anyway, and want to volunteer to help staff the table and promote 
planted aquaria, let me know off list at membership  @ 
aquatic-gardeners.org. AGA will give a free one-year membership to any 
volunteer who misses a talk due to helping at the table. But donating as 
little as 30 minutes will earn you a big thank-you.

We also need AGA members (in the US) to donate plants. Your spare 
clippings could earn money for the AGA, but more important you'll be 
helping to spread the word about the association and the planted aquaria 
hobby. The plants don't have to be rare plants--fish folks don't know 
what to do with them anyway. :-)  Easy stuff like Java fern, Java moss, 
hornwort, Crypts, Anubias, swords, etc. will be great.

If you want to donate plants, please mail them to me at:

Oak Point TX  75068

It's hot here in TX, so you might want to send them Priority. Sorry, we 
can't reimburse postage, but it's all for a good cause. Unfortunately, 
you can't deduct donations to the AGA off of your income tax!  :-(

Thanks!
