Hi guys, I am on the ACA board's e-mail list, and see all the correspondence. Something that perked my ear & may interest the club for next year is that their speaker program, now sponsored by ZooMed, will now pay up $200 instead of $100 of the speaker's airfare. The club picks up the remainder of the airfare, lodging and food. There is budget for only ten of these spots, and 2007 is apparently already filled. Might be worth looking into 2008. They have many good speakers, and GSAS has taken advantage of these in the past (we have had Lee Newman, Wayne Leibel, Dick Au, and Steve Lundblad speak at the club). There are lots of west coast residents in the roster, so cheaper airfare! http://www.cichlid.org/Speakers.html - Erik -- Erik Olson erik at thekrib dot com _______________________________________________ GSAS-board mailing list GSAS-board@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/gsas-board
