Okay, okay-I've waited long enough to speak my mind I thought I was on the board, but now that we have not had official elections I guess that I am just an opinionated non-fish keeper (who DOES change aquarium water, but only under duress). Can't make the next board meeting Will get the ham, we have plenty of plates, Lauri will get drinks, and I can pickup plasticware. I like the board meetings, but now I am worried if I do not get on Bob's good side and agree with him about doing everything over e-mail, not only are the newsletter and board meetings on the chopping block, but cookies and hot drinks may be next. SO, perhaps forgo the next board meeting??? And see you for some killer FISHO. :') Victoria.

Okay guys, for the record, I tolerate email stuff, I don't rely on it for my info, I much prefer seeing people one to one, and as for club stuff, I would never look up a newsletter on the email. I still won't do it for work stuff either. I like hard cover stuff. I know it is an email world, and I will work with it, but I much prefer person to person, and when I read I like hardcover. Just my opinion, Now on the board stuff, we won't be there as you all know. So if there isn't a meeting, just need to figure out who will do what for the next meeting. It does seem a waste to hold a meeting for three people, sort of what happened at Dave's last month. We did announce it generally though, I hope someone remembers who Bob talked to so we can let him know, or Bob can you just make it a fish open house night (bummer for you guys to be stuck home though), but I hate to loose a new board member, we do need a few new people. Hopefully Victoria could do the Ham, I vaguely remember Laurie saying something about drinks, then what do we have left....plates, cups and silverware....maybe Laurie could get those on the same trip. As for other issues, the President usually does an announcement colume in the newsletter/letter to the members thing, so everyone will know what to brings or do or etc....and makes sure everything is getting done. I am in the ICU in December I need to check the dates to see if I am there. I am still not sure what speaker to get for the Jan meeting, Lee Newman, and what topic, I forwarded those before, another possibility is Pam Chin who speaks on Lake Tangy. specifically julies, brichardi and a few others...she is the newest ACA sanctioned speaker. Then mar, may and june, i think we have wayne for june, ?livebearer speaker for mar/may I believe that mike is a tetra speaker so we would get money back for that....not that is matters. I could also just get Rosario LaCorte as well..... It is really hard to do this over email for me as well, I don't feel like I have heard from everybody....probably just an impression. Kathy
