A reminder that the January meeting of NEAPS will be this Saturday, Jan 21st, from 1-3pm. This month's meeting will cover basic trimming and planting skills used in creating a successful aquascape. Saturday's meeting, along with Feburary's meeting topic, will prepare all of us for the big Demo setup at Ned's Fish Factory (March) where we can practice our new skills. Also, this month we will hold nominations and elections for club officers and new members will be introduced. This is an excellent time for anyone interested to join and help build a strong local orginization.
