President's Message December 2014

[Admin]

Hello Everyone,

Thank you to all 40 members who came out to our December meeting. It was very nice to see all the new faces and have many first timers at a Windsor Aquarium Society meeting- we look forward to continuing to see you all. We watched a step by step guide on setting up a high end planted aquarium by the Green Machine and had our large Christmas raffle. A special congratulations to one of our new members: cds (Curtis) on winning our large raffle item- the 125 gallon aquarium and setup. I am sure Christmas came early for you. Congrats to Darren for your Lego design and winning the bowl show. A special thank you to Onion (Scott) for donating your fish from your tank. A few points to highlight:

- 2015 memberships are now available to be purchased and beginning in January all returning members will be required to buy one. For new members your first 2 meetings are free and then a membership is required. Prices remain $20 per person or $25 for a couple/ family. For more information on the discounts that the card carries: windsoraquaria.proboards.com/thread/496/membership-cards-current-discounts

- I can still take orders regarding Windsor Aquarium Society shirts- please refer to the club shirt order post and let me know if you would like one windsoraquaria.proboards.com/thread/1883/club-shirts-order-2 I will make an order when I have enough people.

-We are inquiring into other venues to host our Windsor Aquarium Society monthly meetings as some scheduling issues are beginning to arise at the Moose Lodge- if anyone has any input or suggestions please let myself, Glen, or Les know.

I hope you see you all in January, Happy Holidays and have a great New Years!

-Ryan
President of the Windsor Aquarium Society

It was good to put faces to the names. A lot of good members in this club. I really enjoy my new fish I picked up. Ryan, are all the meetings on the second Sunday of the month? I can stop in at the place I was telling you about if you like. Or at least someone from Administration should inquire. Could be the answer we are looking for.

It can be full donation as the fish were today or we take a 30% percentage from the final sale price.
