Hey Amanda,

Will you be able to stop by at my place (Stratford) on your way (or back) to West Haven? I'll contribute some snacks (chips and soda) for the event... I'll be home but got tons of stuff to do/prepare for the bday party on Saturday... Not sure if I can be there on Sunday but will try and at least bring some stuff for the auction...

Hi John,
I can try to stop on my way back (I have a 1pm appointment, so it'd be at 2 to 2:30 or so. I will have live passengers (I'm picking up some donations from Fish Mart—yay!) so it'll have to be very quick. Shoot me a pm or email to remind me of your address, please.

Donations?

Indeed. Because I was full of infectious enthusiasm or something to that effect, and wrote one of my infamous really-long-detailed-letters, which convinced Peach Reid to kindly offer us some livestock to auction off... also I get to go into the elusive no-unapproved-personnel-may-enter Fish Mart facility and find out what sorts of fabulous things they're hiding in there.

So the week after our giant event of doom and hooplah, we need to establish a thank-you card and gift committee to demonstrate our boundless gratitude.

The Ctenopoma are eating the crays, but several got away from me & they are now too large for them to eat. I could do without the live feeders... I will not be in the vicinity today...
I hate to miss either day - I haven't had the opportunity to see either of you do a talk yet. And of course, I love the auction!
Amazing work on the whole arrangement, and congrats for wielding your charms & getting donations!
Julie

Absolutely! Anything that relates to aquaria in even the remotest way is welcome at the auction (occasionally companies even donate dog biscuits to NAS... they can't quite figure out why, but even fish people have pet dogs, so someone always buys them!)

Not sure it too late or not, but someone has to come by my place and get them. I can't make it this time. Baby is coming in 2 weeks.
