We did have a little bit of club business to conduct prior to starting the auction. President Kris Weinhold presented the two aquascaping contest champions, Eugen and Judi, with their 2L bottles of Excel as a prize. In addition, the membership elected the 2009 board of directors, who are:<\/p>\n<p>President: Kris Weinhold<\/p>\n<p>Vice President: Jeff Uccarido<\/p>\n<p>Corresponding Secretary: Dave Williams<\/p>\n<p>Recording Secretary: Jen Williams<\/p>\n<p>Treasurer: Sean Murphy<\/p>\n<p>Our auction was the largest auction we&#8217;ve ever at a meeting, with 144 items being sold. Needless to say, everyone came away with a couple items. Have a great holiday, and look for January meeting information some time soon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2632-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-341\" title=\"img_2632-2\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2632-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"384\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2632-2.jpg 384w, https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2632-2-230x300.jpg 230w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Cavan checking out one of Michael&#8217;s aquariums.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2634-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-340\" title=\"img_2634-2\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2634-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"355\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2634-2.jpg 355w, https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2634-2-213x300.jpg 213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Cavan, Aaron, and Paul are wandering around the fishroom.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2630-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-338\" title=\"img_2630-2\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2630-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"446\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2630-2.jpg 446w, https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2630-2-267x300.jpg 267w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>One of Michael&#8217;s planted aquariums.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2628-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-337\" title=\"img_2628-2\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2628-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2628-2.jpg 500w, https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2628-2-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Michael&#8217;s rainbowfish tank.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2621-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-336\" title=\"img_2621-2\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2621-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2621-2.jpg 500w, https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/img_2621-2-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>The fishroom.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GWAPA&#8217;s combined November\/December meeting was held in Reston, VA at the home of Michael Barber.
