More Meeting details coming soon
Our October meeting was held on Friday the 13th 2017. At 8:00pm
This month’s Meeting didn’t go quite as planned. Our scheduled speaker had an emergency cancellation, but we made the best of the situation. We had a short presentation that invited group discussions about the various Pros and Cons of several common types of filtration methods, led by Will White.
We had 2 spawns brought in for our BAP that we auctioned off, and our refreshment table sported a mouth watering “South of the border” dip cookies, and a cherry crumble, made by Elsie Swanson as well as a delicious white cake brought in by Todd.
Another full raffle table including our Spooky Skeletal Fish was distributed out to our members who were lucky enough to have their tickets drawn. Congratulations Violet on taking him home, and to Jeff for winning the door prize!

As always we had a full and plentiful Raffle table along with several species of fish and plants turned in for our B.A.P. and H.A.P. programs
that went up for auction.
While our waistlines may not always appreciate the delicious spread of watermelon, brownies, s’mores rice crispy treats, and berry cheese cobbler that was on our refreshment table, our taste buds were certainly happy!
Finally, Congratulations to Jeff Plazak on winning the Two Turtles gift certificate door prize!
We hope you will come join us for next month!
If you weren’t here, you certainly missed out!
There was no speaker this month, instead this meeting was to celebrate another Great Ultra Aqua Show and show our appreciation for our members and all their hard work!
The picnic had 2 full banquet tables with tons of great food organized by our very own Elsie Swanson and contributed to by everyone who graciously brought in a dish.
We also had 3 tables full of goodies provided both by the club and all our members who brought in bags of fish, plants, and supplies to participate in the swap.
One thing is for certain, everyone who came left with full arms and bellies!

This month we had our annual Ultra Aqua Show and auction!
We had another successful show this year!
Thanks to a local breeder, YATFS member Brian Strickland who had over 500 Gold Sevrum Fry to re-home, we were able to obtain and distribute over 100 of these guys to our members.
We have used this opportunity and these 100 fry to start a club growth competition! Anyone who came to our April meeting, 2017 and wished to participate was provided with a bag of 8 gold sevrum fry, free of charge.
The winner will receive a $25 gift certificate and a one year extension to their club membership.
The competition rules are simple.
Take your fry home, care for them, feed and maintain your fish however you normally do, but keep some records (tank size, water changes, feeding etc.) This will allow the winner to pass along to other members what worked for them.
For judging just bring in your largest individual at the December Christmas party meeting.
That’s it!
We will be competing against neighboring local club members from Y.A.T.F.S. who also received sevrums from the same stock for their own home club competition.
The Multi-Club Competition will be held next year during our 2018 ULTRA AQUA SHOW!
Winning Prizes and any specific rules for this one will be announced at a later date.
GOOD LUCK to all the participants!
