Dear Shango, I agree that we are quite heavy on the Africans but the good
news is that we have recovered 1/2 airfare through the ACA for Wayne. Jennifer
was a “last moment” invite and she has the one talk ready. Ad has given a
number of talks over the years but wants to do sand dwellers here. I could use some help making the posting more inclusive to or
members. Any ideas? -Paul ************************************************************************* Paul M. Wallace, PhD. Tel.

Behalf Of Shango Los Wow, an entire year of almost all Cichld talks. Did
this happen accidentally or has the Board decided that this is a good way for
the Club to go? I know we have a fair amount of Cichlid fans in the club
but this seems out of proportion. I, for one, have little interest in
Cichlids and think that having 4 of 6 speakers talking about Cichlids is too
much. I would expect members would find themselves burned out on the
topic, a good amount of overlap and some exclusion of other just as valuable
and interesting topics. If the Board has determined that the Club is best served by
this focus, I will back off. I just wanted to make sure this choice was
being made intentionally. On Jan 4, 2010, at 10:44 AM, Paul M. Wallace wrote:
Dear
Board, I
would like to post a schedule to the members list but in light of the flub for
Jennifer I would like to post to the board first. Please suggest
corrections or correct any guesses (like the auction on the 17th). “Happy
New Year! I am
proud to announce that we are booked for most of 2010. The good news is
that a number of speakers will be giving multiple views and perspectives of one
particular geography. This includes film travel logs with video,
information of importation, a study of speciation/hybridization in a divers
closed system and sand dwellers. It just so happens that this magical
place is the African Rift lakes and Lake Tanganyika in particular. For
the cichlidphiles, this is a great lineup and we have asked the speakers to
focus on aspects that are interesting to all members. For example
Jennifer will show video of cooperative hunting behavior between mastacembelid
eels and predatory cichlids! January
12th, 2010: Our new friends in the Vancouver BC club are sending Jennifer
Reynolds to talk about her time in Lake Tanganyika and her contribution to the
Vancouver Aquarium’s new Lake Tanganyika exhibit. February
9th, 2010: The Plant Auction! Follow signs are we may move across the
street to a bigger space for the auctions. March
