The Prez Sez........<br />
by Al Ridley<br />
(President of KWAS)<br />

President’s Page #30 – The<br />
Last Chapter<br />
Well here it comes, my last<br />
President’s page. First and<br />
most importantly, I want to<br />
thank my other Executive and<br />
Board of Directors who have<br />
all worked so hard to make<br />
this club what it is. I have witnessed<br />
the rebirth of our webpage<br />
and the birth of our forum<br />
which have both become<br />
so important to this club. It<br />
has been a joy!<br />
To the incoming Executive -<br />
congrats on winning your positions.<br />
It is obvious to me<br />
that KWAS will be in great<br />
hands moving forward. There<br />
are some brand new faces and<br />
some wily veterans and that<br />
just adds up to more fun.<br />
Please give them the support<br />
that I was given.<br />
My summer months will now<br />
be consumed with Oktoberfish<br />
plans and exercises. I will<br />
now be able to focus all of my<br />
energy into this event and I<br />
will be asking for help in September.<br />
Miecia will once<br />
again run the fish room and<br />
Scott Smith has stepped up to<br />
run the auction room. I look<br />
forward to another great year<br />
and many improvements over<br />
last years event (yes, we did<br />
learn some very valuable lessons<br />
in 2006!)<br />
Please don’t forget about our<br />
summer picnic being held in<br />
<strong>Waterloo</strong> Park on… I forget<br />
and I’m too lazy to grab a<br />
newsletter but I promise I will<br />
have it for the <strong>June</strong> meeting.<br />
My pond and garden awaits<br />
me, so again – thanks for putting<br />
up with me for three<br />
years and please, anyone…<br />
let me sit at your table!!!<br />
Al<br />
Kudos for our CLUB!!<br />
Editor’s comment: This is an email I received after the May meeting. For those who aren’t sure who<br />
Carl is, he was the gentleman who so generously donated the large bags of live food to our May auction.<br />
Thanks Carl for the kind words - I’ll add you to my Newsletter mailing list as a thank you! And for those<br />
who are wondering I did send him Apistonut’s email address.<br />
Hi Miecia<br />
I was quite impressed by the way your exec. ran that meeting. If all your meetings are as interesting as that,<br />
you have a good club. I've been a hobbyist for fifty years and I learned new tricks of the trade by KWAS<br />
members. I would join your club but it’s too far away. I'm not a good night driver.<br />
I was glad to chat again with Rein and Char. Nice, easy-going, interesting couple. It was also good to see<br />
Bob Brown again.<br />
I am trying to get in touch with your club member who is the Apisto keeper. He and I talked for awhile about<br />
live foods and I may be able to help him. I think it was Stephen Crawford but I'm not sure. If it is, I'll just e-<br />
mail him.<br />
Thanks for your help and again I enjoyed the May meeting.<br />
