President’s Message
F
by Dan Radebaugh
or those of you who missed last month’s Silent Auction meeting, I have some news: The T-Shirts are here! It’s taken a couple of years longer than we expected, but thanks to Joe Ferdenzi’s indefatigable efforts, along with those of his team, which included Mark Soberman and Warren Feuer (I apologize if I'm forgetting anyone), they’re here, and available for the ridiculously low price of $10 each! We sold a lot of them at the Silent Auction (though that part wasn’t so silent), so don’t wait too long. Many thanks to Joe for his tenacity on this project. Thanks also to Jules Birnbaum and Dan Puleo, for finding and engaging tonight’s speaker, Joe Gargas. We look forward to absorbing some of Joe’s expertise on the various aspects of water management in our tanks. In fact, when you have a moment, look at the masthead of Modern Aquarium to see who’s responsible for each of the things that we depend on when we come to these meetings: refreshments, raffle items, collecting your money, handing you your copy of Modern Aquarium, providing a projector for our speakers’ use, taking photos of our meetings, running and helping with the auction, taking your money, being sure you get paid for your auction donations; in short, all the things that make these meetings possible. They don’t do it for praise, but everyone likes for their contribution to be recognized. If there’s one thing above all else that you like about our meetings, thank that person for their part in it! You – and they – will be glad you did...
