Midwest Discus Club Meeting - 3rd Announcement

[Willie]

The next meeting of the Midwest Discus Club will be held on Friday, November 8, 7:30 - 9:30 pm. We'll meet at Linda's place at 2580 Mendota Heights, MN. The discussion topic is Raising and Breeding Wild Discus. If you have ever wondered about keeping and even spawning wild caught discus, this would be a great place to find out. If you've done it before, come to the meeting and tell us how.

To make it even more interesting, Pat Meuret has kindly agreed to donate an adult Nhumunda Blue as a door prize. Come on time if you want to participate in the raffle.

Linda will provide beverages for the meeting. The cost of entry is bringing some snacks to share.

The Midwest Discus Club meets informally on a quarterly basis. Our motto is

[glow=red,2,300]No dues, no by-laws, no stinkin' badges[/glow].

Thanks to the moderators for making this a sticky thread. The meeting last night was a huge success. We had 18 people show up to talk discus. Lots of pictures were taken and others will be posting as well. We also took lots of goodies home, thanks to Julz.

I take lousy pictures, but she's the lovely lady on the right. Next to her is Al M. On the left, Weezy is pounding down the brewski, while everyone else enjoys Linda's fish.

We had a couple of new faces to the discus group show up. Here's Al M. with the cap holding court with some fresh blood. D.J. is on the right in profile. Lauris, on the left, won the raffle for Pat Meuret's Nhumunda Blue. Man, do I take lousy pictures or what!

Here's Paul Methven of St. Croix Discus. For most people in the Twin Cities area, our first discus came from Paul -- either from the LFS or directly from his hatchery. Our next meeting in February or March will be at Paul's hatchery.
