Re: Portland Betta show June 1st

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Hi David,

We haven't printed anything about the show, just sent it to our
announcement e-mail list.  I will forward your notice about the changes to
the same list, to refresh everyone's mind.  I don't know if our newsletter
editor will have the NEXT issue out in time to announce the show (maybe he
will).

As for future GSAS participation in a show up here, I'll forward it to the 
board.  I don't really speak for the club or even the board anymore, so I 
can't say.  As a club, we don't have a lot of experience with a lot of 
stuff outside the usual monthly Tuesday night meetings.
