ORCA President 2007~2008
Hello Everyone,

This months ORCA meeting will be Saturday, March 31st.

John & Angie Wisdom will be hosting the meeting. Directions are on the ORCA website. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and the meeting will start promptly at 7:30 p.m.

Their address is:
1761 Goodrich Ave
Winter Park, Fl 32789


If you have any problems with directions you can email John & Angie at Jwisdom@cfl.rr.com or call (407) 740-0487.

This month’s presentation will be announced at the meeting. If you are interested in delivering a presentation or workshop at a future club meeting please see any of the club officers or sign up on the presentation sign up sheet which can be located at the ORCA information station.

Shortly following the presentation will be our traditional frag event.

Frag Auction: Anyone bringing frags to the monthly auction please be sure to bring your frags in “store quality” bags. Poor quality baggies (sandwich baggies) leak and make it very difficult to run the frag auction efficiently. Label your frags before coming to the meeting. Write clearly using a Sharpie marker.

If you have known parasites like Flatworms (planaria) http://www.thesea.org/reef_aquarium/pests/pests_flatworms.php or

Red bug (Tegastes acroporanus) http://reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=45859 in your aquarium please refrain from bringing any frags to the auction. Please respect your fellow hobbyists and only contribute healthy pest free animals.

Marcye at Sea in the City http://www.seainthecity.net/ has graciously offered to give ORCA members as many bags as they need. Simply stop by Sea in the City and pick them up.

Membership dues are due for 2007. If you have not done so already, please go to the ORCA Web site and download and complete a membership application.

ORCA is seeking members who would be willing to open their homes for a future meeting. Sign up sheets will be available at the meeting also. Please consider hosting a meeting in 2007. This is a great club with great members who would really enjoy seeing your aquarium and observing how you make your hobby successful. It’s also a great way to receive good strong feedback on your Reef and Aquarium system.

The frequency and quality of our meetings ultimately resides with each and every ORCA member. Let’s all work together and make 2007 the best year ORCA has seen yet!

See everyone this weekend!
