Caly, Hi, yes it is always possible to have two speakers up in one month. The complications are this, one an extra $100 for the room, transportation to and back from Portland I would guess, depends on if this person wants room and board, and honorarium. I am not sure they are use to dealing with aquarium societies which have little money, while Koi societies tend to have more, and be able to pay nicely. It is a limited topic, not sure how many Koi people we have here, but that said it could be interesting. It would be nice to have had more notice. I would say take a vote from the board, do we want to have the extra expense, time, meeting or not for a Koi Vet. speaker??? We could all vote anon. to you and then you let me know what we need to do. Kathy On Wed, 27 Mar 2002, Hess, Clay A wrote: > Ok Board......is there any clever way we might make this work?
