The BOD is still discussing which talk he will give. But, you can guarantee it'll be a good one, coming from a big name speaker like Rick Borstein.

The meeting is about 3 weeks away!
Rick's talk will be, "The Road to Master Breeder: Tips and Techniques for Spawning Cichlids"

I look forward to the meeting this Friday.

No, those had to be paid for up front. I don't think there's enough time now.

Set it up with work so I could go. Then we got rained out yesterday and all plans are ruined. : (

For those of you that live further away, usually the speaker doesn't start their talk until closer to 8, so you do have some additional time to get there.

Thank you everybody that came out. Hope you enjoyed yourself & had a good time.

I thought this meeting turned out great! My thanks to Blair for coordinating with Rick Borstein to arrange the visit and the box swap.
Turnout was great, the talk was interesting and informative, and between raffle ticket sales and auctioning off the additional bags of fish that Rick brought, we just about paid for Rick's entire speaking fee!
Rick and his son both have additional talks they can do, so I'd definitely like to have him back out again if we have enough positive feedback.

It was a great time and I learned a lot being a newbie.
Picked up some "rare" fish per Rick and His Son
That's what is great about this club,lots of great info and even better people.
-
I enjoyed ricks talk a lot; he was informative and incorporated his personal experiences into his talk which for me is a big plus. I also liked that I came home with some fish from a totally different continent that I wouldn't normally have known about. I look forward to the next meeting and if we get rick back out here again I will definitely be attending that as well.

Rick and Sam did a great job. Box swap was cool too. I would live to hear his talk on automating water changes.... Thanks Blair for coordinating.
