The purpose of the Raleigh Aquarium Society is to increase the enjoyment and general knowledge of the aquarium hobby for both novices and experienced hobbyists. Society activities include presentations, field trips, sharing information, trading fish and plants, observation of fishes and aquatic life in aquaria and in their native habitat.
Give us a visit! We have monthly meetings at 7:30pm on the first Thursday of each month at the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine Building to discuss fishkeeping as a hobby with guest speakers.
We also
have an annual workshop and auction in late February/ early March plus
a summer picnic.
To join our monthly mailing
list, send an email to:
raleighaquariumsociety@yahoo.com

with "RAS subscribe" as the subject.
The
Raleigh Aquarium Society would like to thank the guest speakers and attendees of our 24th
Annual Workshop and auction. Please join us again next year.
July 5th , 2008 Meeting - Barbecque. As most of you already know since it's been discussed at the last two
meetings, instead of having a regular meeting for July since the first
Thursday falls on July 3rd we're going to have a BBQ on Saturday, July
4th. Chris & Mitch have generously agreed to host our party - thanks so much! We're planning on doing a later event than last year - start time is to be 4pm since we're not sure what the weather is going to be and Chris is concerned that it's going to be too hot in the early afternoon with just a limited amount of shade.
So for those of you who want to go collecting prior to eating - you'll have plenty of time. Do we have a volunteer to coordinate the collecting trip?????
As usual, the club will be providing paper goods, soda, condiments and meat. We ask that everyone bring a covered dish and/or a dessert to share. You should plan to bring your own chairs.
There will not be a speaker this month since we're doing the BBQ, but we will be having a full raffle.
