Next Meeting will be February 12th at the home of Nick Ternes & Diane Ten Pas
 
The annual meeting/Holiday Christmas Party was held at the  home of Gis & Jim Gasior

They did their usual great job of hosting but this year was "over the top".  You could tell right off that Jim is retired just by looking into his tanks - "Sparklingly Clean".  Great job, Jim!

Not to be upstaged by her husband, Gis went waay overboard with a spread of food and treats that rivaled any seen before.  Attendance was larger than I have seen before, evidence that WAKO is live, vibrant, and growing!  Thanks Gis & Jim for the great Party!

It would be nice to send a thank you note to them for hosting the perfect end to the 2011 year.

 

The 31st Annual Egg-Laying Toothcarp Jamboree was a great success.  We had 300 entries for the show and 335 items for auction!!!  Our speaker presented a new way to look at the water our fish are forced to live (or die) in, there was a great assortment of live foods and cultures, a huge number of items for raffle.  In other words, something for everybody.  Thanks to all who participated.
