Hi Kathy,
I'm sorry; I wasn't trying to direct our speaker choices. I was just
expressing my opinion. I liked the assortment of talks that we did last
year; crypts, Africa cichlids, disease, the steam talk, and one I forget at
the moment. My thought is that since we have a lot of members that are
interested in a variety of different subjects, as the Board we should try to
get speakers should reflect that variety. I agree that the Shrimp Panel was
excellent; we have some very knowledgeable people in our club.

Hmm, I missed this email from Roy.
I was a little concerned about potential cichlid speakers for Jan/Mar/May,
and well June wayne sort is a general talk but I think he uses a lot of
cichlid pictures. Then again.....some years it just goes like this.
There are lots of cichlid folks one year, disease another year, goldfish
type things one year, plants...etc.
Whatever you guys want. I really don't mind. We see lots of speakers at
the conferences we go to, and just really enjoy whatever turns up at the
local club. Most of the time I can't make it with the kids and have to
see it on video, or miss it. Also, I like it when I don't have to plan
them all!!!! So plan away.
I will say the Shrimp talk was one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES. It was
definitely a national convention quality. Loved it. I am so glad I got
to be there. I love be inspired by talks and I was on that one.
