President’s message December 2019

[gabor129]

Good evening everyone.

What an absolutely amazing meeting today.

Thank you so much for the great donations to our mini auction (which was actually our biggest auction to date), as well as for the donations to the annual Christmas raffle. A special thanks to Chris for all the donations of plants, as wells as, Satch for all the fish, and Mark for the huge angels. We are so fortunate to have such great, and generous people in our club.

Also would like to thank Jarmila from AngelFins, Tommy from ShrimpFever, Roger from Ruffins, Sam from Sam’s Pampered Pets, Teresa from Aqueon and Stephany from AquaAnimania for their support of our club. Christina, thank you for taking care of the kids presents, it was a great touch to have them wrapped!

I hope everyone enjoyed this meeting as much as I did. Hopefully we all had a chance to interact with each other, share our triumphs as well as our failures in this wonderful hobby of ours.
There were 40 people at the meeting, with 10 newcomers. Hope we showed them all a good time so they’ll come back and join our club.

This was our most successful Christmas raffle up to date, thanks to all of you!

Last but not least I would like to acknowledge all the help I get from Les Turnbull Sr. He is the one always reminding me of things needing to be done, and does a lot of things himself! Thanks for being there for me and the whole club all the time!

President of the Windsor Aquarium Society

I for one had a great time. I was nice to see so many new faces, here's hoping that they are planted tank enthusiasts! We need more Wet Thumbs!

My daughter Evelyn and I had a wonderful time! Thank you to everyone for all of the hard work, planning and organization that goes into this! We felt very welcome, and the sense of community was lovely. It was nice putting faces to some of the forum members' names . I look forward to attending more meetings in the future (We will be purchasing a family membership.)
And thank you to Christina (hope you read this) for the warm welcome and for gifting Evelyn with a second bag of endlers. That was so kind of you to do for her, and she is super excited about them! She will be needing a bigger tank for Christmas!

P.s. Gary - fellow planted tank enthusiast here!

I guessed that was you. I was sitting in front of Christina at the Auction. Nice to see new faces adding to our ranks!

It's nice to see more of us in the Green side of the world. Looking at 2020 as the year of the Plants at WAS...

Had a great time at the meeting . So many new faces which is always great to see . The highlight for me was the four young members receiving their small tanks as gifts from Aqueon. I’d like to thank Christina for helping to make this happen as she was the one that worked with Theresa ( the Aqueon rep ) . Also Gabe for providing them each with a Betta .
