Re: [GSAS-board] auction info needed

Phil:

OK, I see where I went wrong, as per the board meeting, I checked on space and 
the best short of the old place is two rooms.  Meridith has followed up and 
requested extra tables and chairs.  Consider the 2nd room for board use only 
and I will amend my comments to Steev.

Steev:

Here is the updated Prez message:

While Laurence, our March, speaker was billed as an African cichlid talk, the 
presentation was so much more.  By day, Laurence seeks to eradicate hunger 
through education and disease resistant food crops, and a concerned aquarist 
when possible.  It helps that his job takes him to all corners of the African 
continent and befriend people whom are willing to share what the great lakes 
provide.  If you happened to miss the talk or would like to review Erik has 
kindly compiled the talk which is available either as a download or DVD in the 
GSAS library.

Our Big General Auction fall on SATURDAY, April 18th and you are invited.  If 
the plant auction is any guide, our fantastic auctioneer Phil will make sure 
make this a don?t-miss event.  We have a number of big donations from local and 
national vendors but rely on our members for the majority of interesting finds. 
 Member receive a 60/40 split and are encouraged to bring (almost) anything 
fish related including hardware!

Finally I would like to thank everyone whom has visited one of our local fish 
stores recently and mentioned GSAS.  It is a tough time to be a small business 
and so many are so generous.

Please strike the split room comment.
