Re: [GSAS-board] Turface Aquarium Substrate

Eric:

Thanks for following up.  I am glad to hear that in terms of the auction, there 
is not a technical limitation to items for sale.  I will bring up a motion at 
the board meeting so our intention is in the minutes.

I got the Denny's Pet World donation of (3) fake bark whisper filters and (1) 
$40 gift certificate.
