Title: Club meetings
Post by: Ron Sower on June 11, 2020, 07:30:09 AM
...with this quarantining and distancing stuff going on, it's been a pain to try to have our club meetings...we did a virtual one with Zoom that went pretty good but got low participation...it was my PowerPoint presentation on sponge filtration...

..one of our directors has suggested that we have an auction or swap meet in her backyard...it's really too hot in my opinion to do that outside because people whine about the heat here...even though it's a dry heat!... :D  however, it can get too hot for the fish and plants out in the sun on tables...we're going to get on the chats tonight and see what we might work out...

...the second thing we are setting up is a Zoom shrimp talk with Erik Lucas on the 28th...I'll be trying to contact him today or tomorrow to get that set up...I think it would be right to offer him a stipend for his time and knowledge...normally we would pay for his travel expenses and meals...

...anyway, we'll get thru this one way or another...

I would love to attend the shrimp zoom talk.  Any way I could do that Ron?  I have not zoomed yet.
