Re: [GSAS-board] story about aquarium lovers for NW Source

[Paul Wallace <pwallace@u.washington.edu>]

Lisa:

Thank you very much for your write up of our hobby in the area.  Our board is 
meeting tomorrow night which should be able to dig up some of the harder 
answers.

I would like to politely direct yourself and your readers to our website at 
GSAS.org.  We are an active club with meetings with speakers most months (a mix 
of local, regional, and national with a small auction and or door prize at the 
end of meetings with a speaker), two auctions (the plant and livestock and 
general in April), and outside events (homeshow, picnic).  The meeting next 
month with Luis is a true treat for the planted tank folks in the area and the 
general auction is THE BEST place to but used tanks/filters/fish to start a 
fish room (all meeting are free, anyone can bid, members can sell).  The 
auction is on Saturday too in hopes that more people can attend.

If you would like to discuss further please send a phone number and a good time 
to contact you.

If you would like to see one of the best planted aquarium displays in the 
nation IMHO please stop by the Tripple Door under Wild Ginger.

-Paul
