Pet Kingdom is opening their newly remodeled fish room to SDTFS members at a special event in the evening on December 5th. Our Christmas meeting is December 14th. Our January meeting will be on January 11th. The Installation Dinner for new officers will be Saturday, Jan 17th. All members are invited to all of these events. Ben Ivy, Clyde Quinn and I returned Sunday the 2nd of November from the International Fancy Guppy Association Show in Chicago. We all won some awards, Ben took seven. It was a great show for all of us. Charles Pratt |
