PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE - JUNE 2025
Hi Everyone!

Thank you so much for your presentation last month Zenin Skomorowski on Barbs. I used to keep Barbs many years ago and they’ve always been a favourite. This month’s presentation on Thurs June 12 will be presented by our very own Margaret Dent. She’s going to show us how easy it is to set up small ponds in small places. We are having a Pizza Party to start our June meeting off at 7:30. We will hand out some BAP awards and Jar Show award. Bring your nicest Pleco for the Jar Show from our Fish Growing Contest. Let’s see how big your Pleco is.

Hamilton and District Aquarium Society is Celebrating its 75th Birthday this year and we are trying something different. Our Swap Meet is on Sat Sept 27th at the Waterdown Legion. If you would like to be a vendor, tables are $40. Please contact Mike Majer for details.
