The Desert Aquarist Society will be meeting on Sunday, April 14th, at Columbus Library at the usual 2pm. Please feel free to arrive at 1:30 for meeting with friends and getting first shot at the $1 table and the free items.
The April program is "Visit to OdySea Aquarium" by Bob Goemans. Follow Bob and his wife as they tour the OdySea Public Aquarium in Phoenix. It begins in the parking lot, then moves to its entrance where large clear globes hang from its ceiling containing ‘live’ fish, then to the two floors above where you basically follow a rain drop from its wet path high up in mountains to the sea, thereby seeing what various freshwater and marine creatures inhabit those areas.
Along with Bob's talk there will be the usual Member’s Only Raffle and the usual auction. Remember to please bring the plants you have grown, the fish and invertebrates you have raised, and the gently-used aquariums and equipment to the auction. Do not forget that auction items need to be on the table with paperwork submitted by 1:50 to allow us time to organize everything prior to the start of the meeting.
If you have not renewed your membership, you can do so at the meeting. So bring a little extra so you will have some leftover for the auction. The memberships are $20 for family memberships and $15 for single memberships.
We will also discuss the Arizona Rivulin Keeper's Southwest Aquarium Keepers Event (SAKE), which is April 27, 2019 in Phoenix. This event has a great lineup of speakers, including two DAS members, along with a silent auction, huge regular auction, raffle, and an International Betta Congress sanctioned Betta Show. This is an excellent event to attend, if you've never been. So save that date! We will have a sign up sheet if anyone is looking to carpool or share some extra space in your vehicle. No guarantee that there will be any space, but we'll do our best to get any interested members to the event.
