I have the (free) meeting room at the Gaithersburg Branch of the Montgomery County Library reserved for May 6 for a class (for the general public) on setting up and maintaining an aquarium.

Thanks to Jim at Tropical Fish World for donating a 10g set-up to use in the demo and do a drawing to give away to one of the participants ... and Richard (Submariner) for volunteering to assist with the class!

Here are the details (from the Library's online event calendar):

Aquarium Care by Capital Cichlid Association
Event Type: Special Event
Date: 5/6/2009
Start Time: 7:00 PM
End Time: 8:00 PM
Library: Gaithersburg
Description: Learn how to care for tropical fish in your home aquarium. On-site demonstration.

I'm working on a better description to give them (for their online bulletin board) but feel free to click here to email to folks who might be interested in attending.

Excellent work Matt! That was very nice of Jim at TFW to have donated the supplies.
I'm sure we'll have a pretty good turn out.

Thanks Richard!

I also cleaned the fish tank at the library on Thurs AM - took about 20 mins (before work)...and the tank looks really nice (amazing what a little bit of Polyfilter will do).

The library folks are really excited. One even said, "You know my husband has a bunch of fish tanks..." Another recommended that - after a couple of sessions at the G'burg library - to start doing classes at other Montgomery County libraries.

WOW! Matt, this is a great activity! I have long thought that public libraries might be a good venue for fish classes. Let me know how it works out. Good publicity for CCA too!

Thanks Marge. I'm going to work out the slides / script...and - at least according to the folks at the G'burg library branch - most libraries in the Montgomery County system would be very supportive of this.

They're going to find out which ones have fish tanks.

There are a lot of dynamics involved in getting fish tanks in schools, stocking them with cichlids, doing classes, etc...this seems easier. And about 2,000 people per day use the G'burg library alone.

Matt, ask permission from the library if I could actually video tape the presentation. My plan was to film it and put on YouTube later in the week after editing and stuff. I was planning on creating something pretty neat for the club and to make you the next Dan Rather...CBS News!:)))))))):lol:

Anyways, well done Mate! Good Show! May 6th is on my calendar so just keep us up to date.

Thanx,


RM
