Don't forget the Gateway Guppy Club show April 26 & 27. And the ALA (American Livebearers Assoc.) annual show in St. Louis in mid-May with the MASI show at the same time and place.

Not sure I can make the guppy show in St. Louis yet. I did receive my info packet for the ALA livebearers show but it's a little confusing. I'm supposed to check off what I'm doing ex. speakers, field trips, banquet, show,t-shirt, or auction. I actually want a t-shirt but it's unclear after I send my money, how I get my t-shirt? I can only attend the auction part on Sunday for the national show because of my work schedule. I'm not too keen on sending money, once again, to somebody with no receipt or little info. They also have something called the "Graduate Student Poster Fund", I don't know what that is? I went to their website (which was down for several days) and there is no clarification or extra information. So it all sounds cool but.....
