Hi, Erik and I were talking about speakers. (Julie Z from Portland emailed, which I sent onto Clay). Just something to remember is that for EVERY TALK we do with Portland we have to change our meeting dates. This is something to consider. Sounds like Jan will be a week late, May will be a week early. Paul Loiselle agreed to be our Marineland Speaker but would like to make it with Portland. Doesn't sound like that will work with Portland. I will work with Paul on this, perhaps SF or Sacramento, or PCCA may combine with him. I was prior going to see if Paul would do June. But that being said. That means ALL our MAJOR talks in the spring would be cichlids. Not sure we have much choice, as everyone is usually booked..up to a year in advance. (Wessel, Loiselle, and Koning all are, Wessel just had Jan open but NOT later). So do you want me to see if Paul Loiselle can come in the fall?? I said I would do two talks and last June the two people that were decided on at the Board meeting are Paul Loiselle and and Ad Konings. Those are the two I am still working on. (as an aside Mike Schadle cancelled on our club in the last two years because he couldn't miss work to be here. I really don't expect him to make it this year. I know Julie thinks he will, she is looking to cut costs for GPAS by sharing, but I don't think Mike will, just FYI). Please tell me how to proceed with TIME OF BOOKING PAUL LOISELLE for next year.
