+1Girlfriend. Bringing your significant other is okay right? She helps me do the water changes and makes BH so I guess she counts.

Yes, it's okay to bring a visitor. I know how important it is to have support from our significant other. I assume she will be joining us for lunch ?

Local Market:

Bill (Inland Empire Discus) will donate 1/4 lb of his new Pro-Growth BeefHeart Flake for the raffle.

Anyone who want to buy some, Bill can also bring it to the meeting and give a special price of $10 for anyone who wants to try 1/4 lb. Normal price for a 1/4 lb is $16. Also if anyone wants some nice red turq fry, he will probably still have some available.

Anyone interested in these offer, you can contact Bill directly.

Re: May 16 - SWDC Los Angeles Meeting

Can you forward us Kevin's price list so I can make sure to visit the bank before hand?

Thanks.

Re: May 16 - SWDC Los Angeles Meeting

you know i'm in for sure. Benedict, am i picking you up? i can take care of the utensils (napkins, disposable plates, forks, what else?), but i would need a head count to know in what quantities to buy. i can also bring some Heineken if anyone else drinks that, lol. my wife might make something to bring as potluck. i will also be bringing items to donate to other members, none are new mind you but it something that i think will help others more than myself .

anyways, let me know, and we should probably start another list:

1. Larry (diamond_discus) - Diamond Bar, Lunch & Meeting
2. Kevin (notjustfish) - Baldwin Park, Lunch & Meeting
3,4. Allan Mark (allan_mark76) & girlfriend - San Deigo, Lunch & Meeting
5. Chad Hughes - San Deigo, Lunch & Meeting
6. Ricardo (rickztahone)- hailing from Reseda for full event.

copy paste please...
