It’s almost time for our annual Holiday Potluck meeting on Tuesday, December 11th.
The doors open at 7pm, come early and help set up!!
We will be holding the party in the Student Union Building Gazebo, 315 West Bertona St., same place as previous years (Map, and Google Directions).
We will have a potluck dinner, for which the club provides ham, rotisserie chickens and bean stew (vegetarian/vegan), drinks, paper plates and plastic utensils. Please bring a dish to share, sweet or savory …. Your choice.
If you would like to participate in the White Elephant gift exchange, bring a gift wrapped, fish themed item and see what you can take home (Value ~$10-$15).
We’ll also play FISH-O … a roaring game of fishy themed bingo where you can win great prizes. Leslie, our BAP chairperson, will award prizes to the top fish breeders in the club. Roy, our HAP chairperson, will award prizes to the most accomplished plant geeks. We hope to see you there, and bring the family!!
If you could drop me a line at cranegger@msn.com to let me know you are coming and how many will be in your party, that would be very much appreciated! We want to make sure to have enough utensils, drinks and ham/chicken/beans for all!
TL;DR: Saturday November 10th, 10AM, White Center Eagles. Plants, Fish, Drygoods!
For one year only, we are expanding our traditional November plant auction to include not only fish but also drygoods. Call it a Mini General Auction
or a Planted Plus Auction
. Whatever the name, it means one thing: lots of awesome aquarium stuff being sold by GSAS members, plus a generous selection of plants from Florida Aquatic Nurseries.
Because this is gonna be big, we are holding it on a Saturday morning, and we have also found a much bigger space than last year's plant auction: White Center Fraternal Order of Eagles, 10452 15th Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98146. It's super easy to get to from 99/509, and fairly close to I5 as well. Tons of parking right in the lots there, and no stairs. Lots of lunch options close (though we will have pizza slices available).
Bidding starts at 10 AM, preview and setup at 9. Please read the auction guidelines for more information. If you are a member, please pre-register your items. Also, if you have a large number of donations, contact auction chair Erik at erik@thekrib.com.
Non-members are always welcome -- spread the news, print and hang the amazing poster from Amit! Volunteer to be a runner or recorder for a stretch.
Hope to see our entire membership there on the 10th!
A huge thank-you to our local sponsor stores and national donors for supporting us in our 2018 big auction. Please help support them by stopping by and buying their stuff!
