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.
I have about 18,000 rounds of .223 I'm  looking to get rid of, 100 rd bags. 1-4 bags $40 ea, 5-9 bags $38 ea, 10 or more bags $35 ea. I can't put this in the for sale section, its not fish related. No shipping.

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.

You just need to do water changes. ;)
