RE: Question about GSAS shows

["Rick Rose" <rick-rose@comcast.net>]

Hi Victoria,

The GSAS Board discussed your question/suggestion about hosting an Aquarium
Show in the Seattle area (similar to the Portland Show hosted by GPAS.)  

Because several of our members are also members of GPAS, we are aware of the
huge amount of time, effort, and equipment that is required to put on a
regional show of that caliber.  Also, in light of the fact that the
"Portland Show" is actually billed as the "Northwest" Aquarium Show, we have
made it a practice to support that show each year as several of our members
have volunteered their time and equipment; and, the club has provided
monetary sponsorship.  

For these reasons, the Board has decided not to pursue the production of a
Seattle Aquarium Show.  We do, however, appreciate your having suggested the
idea for discussion and your interest in making GSAS a successful and
enjoyable organization.

Rick Rose,
GSAS Secretary/Historian

Hello Rick,

I would be interested in going to the meeting,
depending on where it is.  Let me know the address and
I will map it. 

If there is interest in any sort of show, I would
volunteer.  I've been trying to get a PNWBS show up
here. I just don't seem to have enough Seattle
contacts.  I'd really like to see a show with mulitple
types of fish, like bettas, killies, guppies or what
ever other fish or plant club is in the area.

Seeing what GPAS does for their all species show, I
wonder if GSAS has the equipment to do some thing like
that, that's why I'm thinking of the Killies and the
bettas becuase they have their own containers and show
stuff (at least PNWBS does, I assume the NWK does as
well).
