[Kathy Olson <kathy@thekrib.com>]

Okay...a little panicked about meeting topics...wanted to get working on
it now.

Next board meeting our house...7:30 social, 8pm meetin, 9pm departure (I
must get all the antiwrinkle rest I can).

THe meeting was cool tonight, I like it....it was really cool to hear what
people were into

ideas for future topics..

June-???live food workshop/round table

I will try for Dick Au for Nov/Jan/Mar on Discus. Hopefully nov.

THe workshops are tenative, and could be replaced by speakers, 


Other possible speakers

Rosario LaCorte (one of the founding fathers in the fish hobby, talks on
egg layers, tetras, killis, multiple fish and collecting)  would need to
fly his wife out as well and put them up in a hotel (I think the club
would have the money for this and it would be a treat, SF may be
interested in sharing the expenses)

plants....Karen Randall (I have had two new club members ask)
Rainbows....video, pictures...Gary Lange
Pike Cichlids....Vinny kutty
Tetras....?Al Castro, Randy Carey
Catfish/Cory.....Lee Finley
Shelldwellers....Peter Lewis (fantastic talk on all the 30+ species of
shelldwellers and their behavior)
Lake Tangynikan....Pam Chin
....a long shot...Paul Loiselle...West African Dwarfs, Madagascar
cichlids, Madagascar...he is probably a little to technical for the club
and a little too big..so probably scratch him off the list unless someone
out there has a really strong desire.

Workshops
...filtration
...building stands/tank/fish room construction

These are ideas...bring your ideas and your votes to the next board
meeting.
We also need to vote for officers...need someone to run this club!!!
If you are not at the meeting but have a vote/desire to run for something
please let us know.

Thanks

Kathy
