Roy,

I didn't take it that you were directing choices at all!!!  I completely 
agree with you.  A wide variety is best.

I too am concerned about the degree of cichlid speakers this year.  I have 
seen too many clubs go down that path, have too many of one type of 
speaker, and loose members.  That is why I definitely wanted variety.

So, I think we are VERY CICHLID heavy this spring.  I am open to any 
suggestions that work for the clubs.  Meredith and Paul I think are the 
final say on things, but I think we all welcome ideas.  We may want to use 
either the Vancouver person or our club member for Jan....and hold March 
for a completely different topic.  Even then we are still CICHLID heavy, 
but I think doing Jan/Mar/May/sort of June as cichlids is way too much. 
Just my opinion...but really it is what the club wants.

Kathy
