For all of our 60th Anniversary planned meetings, events, and other activities please visit the 2020 Program web page under Program & Events. We have a very exciting speaker lined up for our first meeting of the year: Kapil Mandrekar of Alyssa's Seahorse Savvy on Debunking Myths of Keeping Seahorses . Alyssa Gabriel, the owner of Alyssa's Seahorse Savvy, will also be attending. Definitely plan on joining our speakers for an early dinner after the meeting. Note that we will be holding TWO major events this year: the 60th Anniversary Extravaganza & Shrimp Fest and the 9th All-Aquarium Catfish Convention. Both will take place at venues other than Green Acres Center, so please pay attention to both locations and dates. See you on Saturday. Happy New Year. Patchin

Hi All, No monthly meeting reminder email will be going out today. MailChimp pushed out a new Beta version of their software and it isn't working. I've been trying to get it out all day, but their server keeps crashing. Very frustrating, but there it is. If you haven't already, please navigate to the Holiday Potluck Sign-Up forum thread letting others know what you'll be bringing. Michael Barber has already been hard at it brining a turkey. He'll be bringing the roast turkey, ham, dressing, and gravy. We should all give him a special thanks for the 2 day effort he puts into this every year. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.
