Hi Everyone,<br />
From the President’s Desk<br />
Hello All,<br />
From The Editors’ Desk<br />
Well things are gearing up for Oktoberfish, there have been<br />
several organizational meetings, and it looks set to go.<br />
Now it’s your turn to help the club out, we need lots of help on<br />
the day with the auction and fish room. If you would like to<br />
help out let Al, Ed or myself know.<br />
We are also looking for a few more class sponsors, there are still<br />
some classes left for sponsoring, and in return we will give<br />
plenty of advertising.<br />
Now take a look at your fish, do you have some nice looking<br />
ones, why not show them. This is an opportunity for you to<br />
“give it a try”, even if you have never showed before “go for it”,<br />
you never know you may get a place, and our club will receive<br />
points towards the club challenge trophy.<br />
The photos for the calendar are set, we will be “rolling it out” at<br />
Oktoberfish, I can’t wait to get my copy; I have a place in my<br />
office at work ready to go.<br />
Fall is in the air and the tanks are a little less neglected than<br />
they were last month. ‘Tis the season to have the warmest thing<br />
on our lives be the water in our tanks eh? Sigh.<br />
I’m looking forward to the fall auction season and have my<br />
sights set on some new additions to my show tank. I may even<br />
try my hand at showing fish now that I’ve acquired a few that I<br />
think could compete. Watch out: Newbie in the room. :)<br />
Other than that, I’m not sure what more I have for this column<br />
as I’m sure you’re all sick of me begging for articles and cover<br />
photos. I still need ‘em but that’s all I’ll say this time around.<br />
In the meantime, enjoy this issue.<br />

The General meeting this month will see something very<br />
different from our program chair, we will also be talking about<br />
Oktoberfish.<br />
The Jar Show will feature Large American Cichlids and AOV,<br />
<strong>October</strong> and November are the last meetings to gain points<br />
before the end of the year and the points race.<br />
On a personnel note, winter is on its way, there is a cold nip in<br />
the air, so the RV has gone into storage, can’t wait for next<br />
summer to do it all over again.<br />
See you at the meeting.<br />
