That was an excellent meeting yesterday. Thanks to the board for organizing it, Pat Garverick for the lightning presentation, Nova Tropicals for the excellent door prize, David Snell for auctioning, and especially Jamie Smith and Christine Neumeyer of Freshwater Exotics for the wonderful presentation and the very cool donated auction items!

Believe it or not, that was Christine's very first talk at a club. Impressive. She's already lined up to speak to two more clubs this month! But we will have left a lasting impression for sure. It was especially gracious of Christine and Jamie to come on such short notice. Our scheduled speaker, Liz Marchio, had to cancel with two week's notice for a job interview. Liz recently completed her PhD at Texas A&M on fishkeeper psychology and is entering a very competitive job market. She just couldn't make it work. Christine and Jamie were willing to come to the rescue and bring so many gorgeous fish with them for the mini-auction. We owe them big time in many ways. Anyone wanting to see them again will be able to at the 2020 All-Aquarium Catfish Convention in October next year.
