Thank you to all those who attended our first meeting of 2014. It was a record turnout with 38 people! There was a slight change due to unforseen circumstances and we watched a video on African cichlids instead, Ken Boorman's presentation on Australian Fish other than Rainbows and Blue eyes will be in February. A big thank you to all those who donated to our raffle and auction; notably thank you Ace Aquatics, Aqua Animania and Joe for your donations! We are now part of CAOAC and will announce further details once I have all the paperwork. We have are in the infant stages of creating our Marine Breeders Award Program, of which Gabe aka gabor129 will be overseeing. A landmark was made today in the Windsor Aquarium Society as we took ownership of our official symbol! A big thank you to Monica Warner aka "misskitty85" for your amazing work and dedication. We will be looking to use this on shirts and various other things throughout the years. The symbol: Credit Monica Warner Thank you all, hope to see you next month! -Ryan

Congrats to the society on becoming official! Remember how overwhelming it all seemed a year ago? Well you guys did it and you are continuing to do an amazing job. Not only are we the fastest growing club in Windsor but I think we are the most enthusiastic and friendly as well! I am so proud to be a part of this society and enjoyed meeting some new folks at the meeting today. For those of you on the forum that are too shy to come to the meetings....don't be! We are a different bunch encompassing all ages, experiences and genders. Everyone is eager to include everyone and chat about their aquatic passion. If you come I guarantee someone at the meeting will make you feel welcome, so don't be scared! We have lots of interesting personalities in the club and that is why I love it so much Also thanks so Monica for designing such a gorgeous logo for the society, it is just in time for the one year anniversary! Again I am so proud of the board members and all of the other eager assistants who are making this a very worthwhile club to belong to. I can't wait to see our forum hit 300 and beyond!!!

Possibly, we want to test the swag out first to make sure it turns out before a large order.

As already stated we had an awesome turnout yesterday and as the numbers grow and with so many members who make the effort to come out on a Sunday morning in the winter it just reinforces the fact that this area was starving for a club like this. It's great to be able to talk to each of you and hear about both your struggles and your successes We all are involved in an incredible hobby . Thank you to Darren for taking the time to bring his wife's parents out to their first meeting and to Ace Aquatics and Aqua-Animania for their donations, also to Joe for his donation of a 10 gallon tank and to all the other members who donated items to the raffle and auction table, And of coarse to Monica ( misskitty84) for designing our club logo, as I took it around the room all I heard was positive feedback about how beautiful it was and how it fits our club perfectly. You will be able to look back and always be proud of want you have provided to your club. Last but not least I would like to thank Glen (guppyguy) for taking the time to participate in both the H.A.P. and B.A.P. programs are therefore donating so many beautiful plants and fish to the auction.

Yes Mike... you DID start it.... I had to play too.... Now that we have a logo.... Maybe we can add it to our banner? Here's my take on it. I'd be happy to submit more if you like, but just threw this one together for fun..
