Subject: RE: January Chair Letter

The first thing we need to work on is a budget that is not dependent on a 
convention.  We don't want to continue tethering the ACA's existance to a 
single event which may or may not be profitable  -- as the convention goes, 
so goes the ACA.  This may take some creative thinking on how to make money 
for the ACA other than through conventions, but we can do it--fish people 
are nothing if not creative!

Secondly, donations.  I think John H. has a handle on the situation and 
would be a great Donations Chair.  Perhaps in February he can calm some 
waters in Florida so we can re-establish a good working relationship with 
the folks down there.

We should also push the ACA store more than is currently being done.  I'm 
sure a lot of items are laying around gathering dust when they could be 
contributing money to the cause.  Updating it with photos I'm sure will help 
greatly, but what else can we do to make members aware of it, and take 
advantage of it?

The free subscriptions of "Aquarium Fish" to middle schools seems to have 
fallen by the wayside.  Our members should be encouraged to participate in 
this worthwhile project.  After all, who will continue the ACA after we have 
all passed to that Great Aquarium in the Sky?
