It is time for our annual Holiday Party! Mark your calendars for Saturday December 14th at 7pm. Yes, we're doing the holiday party on Saturday this year. The doors will open at 6:30pm -- feel free to come a little early and help us set up.
It's also that time of the year for colds and flu (not to mention COVID), so if you feel at all sick, please stay home! You will be able to play FISHO with everyone via the Zoom link below 😀!
We will be holding the party in the Student Union Building, in the same room as the last three years, the Fireside Room, 315 West Bertona St, Seattle, WA 98119.
We will have a potluck dinner, for which the club provides ham and rotisserie chickens, 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 FISHO … a roaring game of fishy themed bingo where you can win great prizes. If you are unable to attend in person you can join us via Zoom for FISHO - click on the button above!
Leslie, our BAP chairpersons, will award prizes to the top fish breeders in the club. Jennifer, 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 info@gsas.org 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 for all!
Thanks to all who attended our record-breaking plant and fish auction this month, from the bidders and sellers, to the auctioneers, recorders, check-in table, runners and all the other volunteers. We hope everyone came home with something interesting for their aquariums. And a special thanks to the generous donations from Florida Aquatic Nurseries, and our sponsor stores Aquarium Zen, Aquarium Co-Op and The Arium Store!
Hope everyone's having a great summer. The Greater Seattle Aquarium Society Fall Schedule is out, and we have an incredible line-up for the next four months...and for the first time, dates, times and locations are all set!
A belated thank you to everyone who came out in force to our record-breaking general auction this year, especially to all our volunteers who worked tirelessly the whole day. And a special thanks to the sponsor stores and national companies.
Our big auctions still remain the primary source of income from the club, and their success means we can pay our rent and Internet video storage bills, bring in top quality speakers, and have nice prizes in our contests throughout the year. Thanks again!
