Hello Everyone, Our September meeting featured a great presentation by Frank Acquirre and his inspirational talk on breeding fish and the aquarium hobby. We had 34 people turn out for this meeting including some new faces- we hope you enjoyed it and stay around! As well, some members returned after an absence, we are glad to have you back! After talking to many members we will be having Frank back again for a different talk he does. A number of members and the WAS executive joined Frank for lunch after the meeting. Thank you to all those who donated and participated in our raffle/auction. You make these meetings and bringing in speakers possible. Congrats to Gabe and Glen for placing in the Bowl show. Memberships are now available at half price as everyone is required to renewed their membership in January at the full fee. As well, our election is still open to those who are interested in running for positions, please PM me if you want to run and I will add your name to the elections page or PM any executive member for further details/questions. Thank you all, see you in October 18th (one week later due to Thanksgiving) for a presentation on Saltwater aquariums. -Ryan President of the Windsor Aquarium Society www.windsoraquariumsociety.zohosites.com

I must say that yesterday's meeting was one of the most enjoyable times for me as a member of The Windsor Aquarium Society . Listening to Franks incredible talk was a highlight of the day . Franks passion for the hobby just pours out of him as he gives his talk . The response of the membership after was all positive and we are already working to have Frank back for a future talk. I would also like to thank Gabe and Glen for taking the time to participate in the Bowl Show . It takes effort to get up early in the morning to catch your fish and fill out the forums . Your efforts do not go unnoticed . It seems as if September is the start of the fish season as far as clubs go and by the comments after the meeting we are off to a flying start . Lets keep the momentum going !!!

It was a pleasure to participate in my first bowl show! To go up against Glen, who is an accomplished Endler's and guppy breeder, was a treat.
The meeting and the presentation was one of the best I have been to. Frank is just a fountain of information, on both fresh and saltwater topics. It did not matter what questions we throw at him he answered with the same enthusiasm and passion! Looking forward to all his future talks! I'm sure he will be back many more times!
