This has been posted on our .org forum. Just wanted to share the info to those that may not post there.
I am honored to have brought in a world known author, writer and marine biology professional to the great folks of Northern Valley Reefers. Charles Delbeek will be down in our our area to speak on the topic of development, creation, maintenance, trial and error of the California Academy of Sciences; Steinhart Aquarium. This is a must see presentation to those who have or plan on visiting the Steinhart Aquarium.
An additional bonus to Charles coming down is that he is also a Senior Biologist for the Steinhart Aquarium. In working connections with the Steinhart Aquarium, Charles has made it possible for 20 members to have the cool option of "going behind the scenes" with the Pumps and Pipe tour and seeing what and how the Steinhart Aquarium works. This is definitely something that I'm sure we'll all be wanting to see. This portion of our meeting will be held the following day of Charles's presentation. As many people can attend the Steinhart Aquarium visit, but only 20 from our group can go on the Pipes and Pumps behind the scenes tour. Sign-ups will be available on the forum to keep things fair. The sign-up for the Pumps and Pipe tour will have it's own thread. **Contributing Members will only have access to the list, for which the list will be in the "Members Only" section of our forum.**
We also have a trunk sale after Charles's presentation. What is a trunk sale you're asking yourself? Well we all have those random odds and ends that are tank related sitting around, but we have no clue on what want to do with it? Or that extra powerhead or heater laying in the closet...yea we all have those items. Well the trunk sale is pretty much how it sounds. Bring your junk, and slang it from your trunk! Bring anything hobby related and sale it to others that might be looking or wanting something. This is not a coral sale, not a shop expo. More or less a yard sale from your trunk
Members will be able to contribute to club at this meeting. We'll also have a small raffle at the end of the presentation before we go on our trunk sale. So yea, sounds like a pretty cool April meeting huh?

Background Information on Charles Delbeek:
J. Charles Delbeek is an internationally recognized authority on captive living coral reef ecosystems and is a highly sought-after speaker and consultant on marine aquarium systems.
Background
J. Charles Delbeek holds three degrees from the University of Toronto; an Honors Bachelor degree in Biology, a Masters in Zoology and a Bachelors in Education, which gives him not only a strong basis in marine science, but also in education. This multi-disciplined background allows for a unique viewpoint when it comes to creating not only scientifically accurate living aquatic exhibits but also educational materials for exhibit graphic and interactive components.
Charles' professional interests include the ecology and captive husbandry of marine and freshwater fishes, live corals, mangroves, seagrasses, freshwater aquatic plants and cephalopods. Currently a senior aquartic biologist at the California Academy of Sciences' Steinhart Aquarium, Charles was previously employed at the Waikiki Aquarium,
In his capacity at the Waikiki Aquarium, Charles has been part of the exhibit design team and has contributed to several award winning exhibits and conservation programs (Bean Award 2003, M.A.C.E. Award 2003, M.A.C.E. Award 1999) including live coral and giant clam exhibits, freshwater planted aquaria, cephalopod exhibits, marine fish exhibits as well as holding and research systems for corals and clams.
With over 14 years experience in the public aquarium field, 8 years of teaching experience and 35 years of marine aquarium experience, Charles has developed a well-deserved world-wide reputation for excellence and accuracy in award winning exhibit design and implementation.
Author, Writer, Lecturer, Reviewer
Charles has lectured at over 46 aquarium-related conferences and meetings, and published over 70 articles in the popular aquarium literature in the last 22 years. In addition to writing a monthly reef aquarium column for Aquarium Fish International since 1997, a monthly column in Coral Magazine, and a bi-monthly column for Advanced Aquarist Online, he has co-authored three popular aquarium books with Julian Sprung. The Reef Aquarium series are considered by many to be the definitive works in the field.
Charles has also served as scientific reviewer for ReefKeeping Online magazine and Advanced Aquarist Online, book reviewer for Freshwater and Marine Aquarium magazine and Veterinary Pathology and has acted as a peer reviewer for scientific journals such as Aquaculture and Aquarium Sciences and Aquaculture.
