President's Message: March 2016

[gabor129]

Hello All!

I would like to thank everyone for attending our meeting, even though the time change messed with things a bit!

There were 37 members and potential members in attendance for Mitch's excellent presentation on his research and work with hormones and behaviour in Chinook salmon. Hopefully salmon farmers are interested in farming native salmon when it is possible to foresee the future production of the farm! Also his explanation of the requirements for plants in high and low tech tanks was great! It showed the science behind the things we do, even thought most of us just do it because it works! Thank you Mitch, and keep up the excellent work!

I would like to congratulate Stan for winning our first silent auction, hope the tank will be put to good use! 

Also congratulation of our bowl show winners! There were some great looking fish, therefore we had two ties in the first three places! Congratulation to Steve and Satch for the excellent quality of fish presented today!

Currently we have enough people to fill half the bus! Which is great, we just need to get al the members to come out to the meeting next month to fill it up!!!!

Once again thank you everyone who came out to the meeting today! Also a big thanks to Mitch for his presentation!

Had a great time at yesterdays meeting and actually was able to spend a few minutes talking to some of our awesome members. Gabe , Glen and myself can get a little busy at times and some meetings go by so fast that there's little time to talk .
Mitch did an incredible job with his presentation and I would like to thank him for it and also for arranging last months speaker Dr Kessel . Winter months can be a little troublesome arranging speakers from out of town due to weather conditions so his help was greatly appreciated .
I'm working on a very exciting speaker for April and should have him confirmed in the next week or so .
As Gabe mentioned our bus trip is all planned and seats are filling up fast so if you want the opportunity to see a bunch of Toronto area fish store with a bus full of friends reserve your seat now. I guarantee it will be a blast .....
Thanks also go out to Jason for helping with the auction , you saved an old guy from running out of breathe.

See you all next month .

Great meeting everyone, and Mitch you had a great presentation and loved the added high tech, low tech planted tank presentation. Very well done. Thank you to all who donated to our raffle, auction and to Jason for running for the auction. The bus trip will be a blast, so grab your seat for a fun full day of exploring fish stores with the club. It will be e trip not to miss. We also had a great turn out and I had some great chats with some of our members. Was also great seeing many new faces. Thank again everyone and see you in April.

No problem giving the talk, it was lots of fun. I would recommend some other members to do the same as well! We all have our own experiences with the hobby and its great to here everyone's own story.

Really looking forward to the bus trip!
