...meet and learn from those who share your interests!
The Tropical Fish Club of Burlington holds monthly meetings on the second Thursday of every month. The meetings take place at the VFW Hall on North Winooski Ave in Burlington, Vermont (tell them you're there for a TFCB meeting - free parking in the back).
The meetings start promptly at 7:00pm, and "on-time" door prizes (often fish food, equipment, medications etc. which have been generously donated by manufacturers) are awarded for those who are present when the meeting starts. The drawing is usually followed by the Officers' reports, announcements about upcoming events and a general discussion about fish-related topics. Then there is a short break, followed by a feature presentation (usually a guest speaker giving a slide show, sometimes a movie). At the end of the meeting, there is a club auction where live fish, plants and other aquarium related equipment are auctioned off.
It has been a tradition to have a Holiday meeting every December. For the December meeting, there are no speakers, but we all bring a pot-luck dish, eat dinner together and chat informally. This is also the meeting where all of the Breeder Award Program awards are given out, and where the winners of the Bowl Show contest are recognized. Here is a description of our December, 1998 meeting, with pictures!
Another tradition has been a summer picnic - a good time to reconnect since we don't meet formally in the months of July and August. The summer picnics have often been held either at a park on Lake Champlain, or at someone's house (often David and Janine's, since they conveniently live right on Lake Champlain!). We usually bring food, and swim, play games, eat, talk, and oogle each other's fish.
New members are always welcome!
