Member’s Only Christmas Potluck Coming Soon
The St. Catharines & Area Aquarium Society would like to thank everyone involved in our fall auction as it was a giant success. If it wasn’t for all the bidders, sellers, volunteers and sponsors, we wouldn’t have had such an amazing day as we had on Saturday. This auction by far was one of our best. We would like to recognize all the parties involved below.
Thank you to our corporate sponsors, such as Aqueon, Zoo Med and Northfin for their donations of aquariums, fish foods and filters. These corporate sponsors donate some of our large items that we either put out for raffles or to be auctioned off for you as buyers to get a good deal. We would also like to thank our small business owners, such as Garden City pets, Big Al’s Hamilton, Finatics Aquarium, Aquaflora Canada, Cat’s Fish Caves and Julie’s Tire & Auto for all of your generous donations as well because without all of you, we wouldn’t be able to provide all of our hobbyists with such amazing bargains and prizes.Thank you Tom for sourcing sponsors and gathering donations.
Next we would like to recognize everyone who donated food to the kitchen Cindy (Chili), Kandys (Baked Goods), Annie (Pizza) and Jon (Hotdogs). Because of them we could have a delicious menu of food for everyone to eat and so that the kitchen could provide more revenue to the club.
The volunteers, where do we begin? All of you listed below are amazing individuals who helped make this event possible. Without you, there would not be an auction.
The auctioneers: Jim, Mike, Brian & Hayden
Our front end staff: Phil,Ernest Kandys, Gary, Ken & Pat.
Auction item organization: Erin & Shawn, Sathish & Jashwanth & Dan

Hello all,
Winter is slowly creeping in on us! If you have ponds now is the time to get them prepared for the big sleep! Our next meeting is Monday November 4/24 and we have Theresa coming in from Aqueon to give us a presentation on the products that Aqueon has. Always an interesting presentation. At the last meeting we had a problem with the video and sound which made it difficult for some to hear and see. That has been rectified as the remote that is need for this has to be signed out and returned so you can bet that will be priority one. Again, we would like to see entries for the fish of the month so we can keep Pat busy! On Saturday November 9/24 our auction will be held so get all buyers and sellers tags and items for auction as we will open at 8 AM auction starts at 10 AM. Once again, if you are able, please bring a food item to help the church with their food drive. Hope to see all there.
