Re: [GSAS-board] FW: Aquarium club talk

Phil is working with new friends in Canada to bring character for January. The
topic may need refinement.
The Homeshow is moving up with pictures early in 2010 and a short presentation
to be worked in at the awards.
Finally, we love the FISHO game in December. Would you please generate a set
of cards?
