Hello everyone, there are some timing changes for the Sunday January 11th Meeting. It will still be at the Moose Lodge which is located at 777 Tecumseh road West in Windsor as we have been assured that the room is booked for us after some mix up's in the past months. Members who would like breakfast can feel free to show up at 9:00 AM when the Moose lodge opens as there probably will not be time after the meeting to get any. We will start the meeting at 10:30 AM and I will begin renewing 2015 memberships. At 11:00 AM our guest speaker Kirk Gibson aka the Toronto Plant Man is set to arrive and begin his presentation. His presentation will be followed by our raffle and auction and any remaining membership renewals- we will probably end around 1:00 PM.
A reminder that all who have not renewed ahead of time will be required to purchase a 2015 WAS membership (unless you are new and still have your 2 free meetings left) - You can PM me ahead of time and I can get your card written ahead of time- make sure to include your full name.
Our guest speaker will be doing an in depth presentation on Aquarium plants. Here is his website: torontoplantman.wordpress.com/author/torontoplantman/

I'll be sure to leave early between 5:30/6:00am in order to leave adequate time in the event traffic/weather is making things slow.
