Bob,

I know I am not on the board....but, it does appear we have a number of
people who keep African fish and I think Chuck would be great to have
come to our club.  I saw in Portland and really enjoyed his talks.

John Lyons (livebearers) is set up for next March. We have October, 
November and January open yet. Hoping Lucanus can make one of those. It 
would be nice to snag a "Big Name" speaker (Lucanus, Loiselle, Rambo, 
Finley etc.) for one of those months. Suggestions?
We haven't found anyone for this coming June yet either. Have emailed
Julie 
Zeppieri (PSAS, Rainbows), Bob Fenner (TFH guy. many topics) and Chuck 
Rambo regarding speaking engagements for June and beyond.
Erik, do you know of anyone affiliated with the AGA who might be
possible 
speakers? It's been a while since we have had a speaker on plants.

Bob
