FISH TRIVIA! is coming to PVAS May 2!

This is a fun and interactive game. People will play in teams of up to five (5) people. Each team will need a team name, so you can start thinking of that now! If you don't know many members at PVAS, this is a great way to make some new acquaintances as you work your way towards first, second, or third place!

A big thank you to Bulk Reef Supply and CaribSea for donating items for May's meeting.

There will be some raffle items including a 4 stage Bulk Reef Supply RODI system! (Ooo ahh) Attendees can purchase raffle tickets at the meeting.

2026 Toothbrush Drive  

Goal: 500 or more toothbrushes, with or without toothpaste

Without oral health one cannot achieve general health! For those living along the Amazon River and its tributaries, this statement is so true. Many lack the basic necessities, including toothbrushes, we take for granted.

The PVAS Foundation is the proud sponsor of the 2026 toothbrush drive. Back in 2023 PVAS club members David Snell and Michael Barber hand-carried over 300 toothbrushes for distribution by Project Amazonas. Both directly supported distribution of the supplies to the communities they visited.
