Thanks so much to all the folks who bought and sold at our 2019 General Auction. The auctions are the club's primary funding, so your bidding is helping us bring more big speakers, fund the huge home show coming up in February, and pay for the BAP and HAP awards coming up this month.
A special shout-out to our local stores who donated product, even with the weird fall schedule we had this year. Please let them know by visiting and purchasing from them this holiday season and the upcoming year.
We've had some requests from people who couldn't make it to our auction or meetings to buy our nice new T-shirts (design by Ryan Henry Ward of Seattle mural fame). For a few bucks extra, we'll ship you one. Go to https://gsas.org/t-shirt/ to order.
It’s almost time for our annual Holiday Potluck meeting on Tuesday, December 17th.
The doors open at 7pm, come early and help set up!!
Once again, 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!

Home Show 2020 is now open for registration at gsas.org/homeshowform.php.
It's simple: Six of us, a videographer, photographer, Chair, and three judges, come to your house for about 30-45 minutes on the weekend (not the Super Bowl). You show off your tanks and we ask questions. The GSAS Home Show is open to all members, from I've just got one
, to I have a fishroom
. Everyone, including you! Results are shown at a meeting in the spring.
Did you participate in one of the workshops at last May's AGA Convention? Or did you win a tank in the auction or raffle? We would like to come visit!
If you'd like an idea of how much fun it is, see previous years here.
