Do we have any stats on the percentages? I actually got the impression that there WERE more women at AGA conferences than typical fish conventions.- Erik On Wed, 19 Nov 2003, Cheryl Rogers wrote:She poses an interesting question in her postscript....

You're a great one to have as the Membership/Welcoming Chair! I hold this position for my localfish club (North Jersey), and I think I especially look to see how anorganization treats a newbie -- thanks so much for making me feel welcomed andcomfortable!! Alesia BenedictPS - I posed this question to Larry, but would like to get your feedback as well. I am always trying to get more women involved in this hobby in general (fish and/or plants). I had hoped that there would be more women involved in plants -- as you know there are really so few female fish keepers. Any ideas on how to reach/entice the women out there?? I've got to be part of a very rare coupling where the female is the addict and the man's (my boyfriend) only interest in fish is either salmon or tuna, grilled with sauce!! Other than "designer fish" can you think of a way to make it a chic hobby for the "glamourgirls" out there?
