[GSAS-Member] Announcing the GSAS HomeShow 2010!!!!!

["Seattle_Aquarist" <Seattle_Aquarist@comcast.net>]

Hi all,

I have the extreme pleasure to announce the start of the GSAS HomeShow 2010!
The HomeShow visits to member homes will be the weekend of 1/30/10 -
1/31/10.  If we have more members wanting to participate than we can visit
in the two days allotted we will add additional dates.  Last year we had
eight GSAS members participate but I expect much higher participation this
year because everyone heard how much fun it was and the fact we are not
doing it so late in the year.  Signups will begin around January 1st; so
start your engines!

I hope to offer judging in three categories for this years contest:
General; Breeder; and Aquascapes.  Details of the judging criteria for the
various categories will be forthcoming.  This announcement gives our members
two months to decide on what categories they want to participate and chose
which aquariums they want to enter in the contest.  (It also motivates me to
start getting my aquarium(s) in tip top shape for the contest, as well as
the Holidays!)

The GSAS HomeShow was so much fun last year I have volunteered to be the
chairman again this year.  Erik Olson and Steev Ward will again provide the
excellent video and photography services that we enjoyed last year as well
as being judges.  Two or three additional judges will be needed however.  If
you have not been involved in the GSAS HomeShow in the past (either as a
participant or a judge) this is your opportunity to get involved!  Judges
are allowed to enter the contest, but cannot vote on their own entries.  If
you are interested in being a judge for this year's contest please contact
me "off list" at Seattle_Aquarist@Comcast.net.  Here is a link to previous
GSAS HomeShow <http://www.gsas.org/homeshow.html>  contests so you can see
some of the previous entries and winners (and get an idea what some of the
competition will look like)!

Watch this site, as well as the GSAS Northwest Aquaria newsletter for
additional details.  If you have questions please contact me at the e-mail
address above.  I am looking forward to a great contest this year; I hope
you are part of it!   Roy
