October 2003 Meeting
The Oct 18th meeting was held at my home, all the way out
in Ashburn. That’s what you get for not hosting it yourself.
We had a great turnout – 16+ people showed up to see my
algae infested tanks. Although I promised to keep the business
aspect short – we just had too much to discuss and it took
up most of the meeting. Meetings to follow will be MUCH less
business oriented (I hope). More »
