Hi Everyone, Home visits will be this coming Saturday so it is time to clean that algae off the glass and get ready! I putting the finishing touches on the GSAS Home Show and have found that only five (5) GSAS members have provided the information (address, phone numbers, etc) I requested on May 8th (copy of request provided below). I have received the requested information from Erik Olson, Kat Hentsch, Paul Wallace, Roy Slettevold, and Mary & Todd Sodawasser. I am sending out individual e-mails to other members today that expressed an interest in participating but did not reply. As we have a limited amount of time to visit member locations, and therefore a limited number of visits we can accomplish, additional visits will be included on a "first come" basis until all slots are all visit slots are filled so please get your information back to me as soon as possible. Two of our judges from previous years are unavailable for this year's Home Show, so I am still looking for one or two volunteers (experience nice but not required) to join us on our adventure visiting member locations on Saturday. Send me an e-mail if you are interested. Thanks go out to Steev Ward and Erik Olson who have volunteered to be our photographer and video photographer for this year's show and to Michael Byroads has volunteered to be a driver if needed. It looks like it should be a great show! Get your requests in NOW if you would still like to participate! Thanks to all!

The following members have indicated that they are interested participating this year: Shango Los Bryan Nichols Jesse Doerr Trish Pierce Paul Wallace Erik Olson Christine Ranegger Margie Cashman (home and office) Dave Sanford Kat Hentsch Dana Cook Roy Slettevold If your name is listed above, please send me an e-mail at Seattle_Aquarist@comcast.net with your phone number and you're your address so I can start planning out the logistics. The tentative date for the home visits is weekend after Memorial Day, May 30th and 31st. If this does not work for you, or if you have a preference as to which day or time, include that information with your e-mail. If your name is not listed, and you are interested in participating in this years' gala event, send me an e-mail with the information I have just requested to Seattle_Aquarist@comcast.net so we can add you to the list. I am looking for volunteers for the following GSAS Home Show positions: judges, driver(s), photographer(s), and videographer. Anyone can volunteer, however if you have experience it would be helpful since I have no clue as to what I am doing! I am relying on members that have done this before for advice and guidance. That's it for now! Erik has just put together an excellent video of the 2004 GSAS Home Show which hopefully he will post for our members to download using Bitorrent.
