I have no fish.
Hey everyone,
I can't believe how the summer is creeping by. That means it's about time for the club's new season! We've been working behind the scenes to bring some new speakers and hopefully some previously favored ones as well.
Please note the date adjustment for this one meeting to accommodate Mr. Fatherree's speaking schedule. We will meet on the 4th Saturday - September 22nd at 6pm at Tacoma Community College.
This meeting is being hosted by Indoor Reef. Paul and his crew work very hard promoting the PSAS in their daily work. I don't have the stats available, however Randy told me that their store sold the most new memberships this past year. Thanks so much Indoor Reef!!
We will also be having 2 raffles at this meeting!! The first raffle is a continuance from the June BBQ...Brian at IAP has been working hard and has cut us a HUGE deal on a 36X36X24 Tank!! We will also be having a raffle with some live and dry goods (more info to come).
James Fatherree will also be bringing some fresh copy's of his new book for purchase!!
Here is some info from Reefkeeping Magazine and you can read more about him here:
James Fatherree has been an aquarium hobbyist since childhood, has been keeping marine aquariums for well over a decade, and has spent many days diving in Florida, Hawaii, the Bahamas, Japan and Indonesia. He also managed a large retail aquarium store, owned and operated an aquarium design, installation, and maintenance business for several years, and spent a summer working as a diver/collector/slave for an aquarium livestock wholesaler in Florida. James has also published well over 100 articles and 1,000 photographs in various aquarium magazines in the U.S. and Europe, and has written and illustrated five books on the topics of reef organisms and marine aquariums, too.
Aside from his lifelong aquatic interests and experiences, James served as an Army paratrooper, earned degrees in Geology from Mississippi State University and the University of South Florida, with a specialization in invertebrate paleontology, and has traveled around the world. He also lived in southern Japan for two years where he taught English, and is currently a physical and environmental sciences instructor at Hillsborough Community College in Tampa, Florida.

I will definitely buy a book, get his autograph, place it with my library as another good PSAS memory!
