Hello all WAS members, thank you to all those who came out to this months meeting and listened to Tommy from shrimpfever.com. We had 43 people show up for this meeting! A special thank you to Tommy and Frank for driving from Toronto to give the excellent presentation on freshwater shrimp. Frank's corals were great and Tommy was the most knowledgeable person I have ever met when it comes to freshwater shrimp- your presentation was very informative. The group order for WAS members was a success, thank you to all those who participated and to Aqua Animania for the beautiful Betta you donated. We will be taking orders for our club shirts, they will be made from a moisture wicking material and have our symbol embroidered on them. They will be black and available in either a T-shirt ($15.50) or a polo ($25)plus tax. Sizes are men's L, XL, and XXL. Ladies: S and M. I am going to see if I can order just a few patches for those who need different sizes so you can attach them to any similarly coloured shirt.
Membership renewals have begun, as some have seen we are going to make all memberships expire in January 2015, this way we don't have people expiring at all different times of the year; this will be much more harmonized and easier for the stores. Therefore, memberships will be at a discounted rate; for example, those who renewed for June only paid $10 as this renewal is only good for 6 months, (less each month month leading up to January 2015) and everyone will be due in January 2015 at full membership rates. Please check your cards to see when yours expires. Additionally, we will be taking submissions as to what the name for the Windsor Aquarium Society's newsletter will be called, then members will vote on the suggestions. I would also like to apologize for the rushed auction and raffle, but we did have limited time in that hall. Hope to see you all in July!
