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.

Rick's talk will be,   "The Road to Master Breeder: Tips and Techniques for Spawning Cichlids"

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.
