THANK YOU EVERYONE
The St. Catharines & Area Aquarium Society would like to thank everyone involved in our fall auction on November 1st as it was a giant success. If it wasn’t for all the bidders, sellers, volunteers and sponsors and people who donated, we wouldn’t have had such an amazing day as we had on Saturday. This auction by far was one of our largest with an item count around 775. We would like to recognize all the parties involved below.
Thank you to our corporate sponsors, such as Tropica, Aqueon, Zoo Med and Northfin for their donations of aquariums, live aquatic plant tissue cultures, 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 Big Al’s Hamilton, Garden City pets, Finatics Aquarium, Cat’s Fish Caves, Pet Valu Thorold 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.
Next we would like to recognize everyone who donated food to the kitchen Cindy (Chili), Kandys (Baked Goods) and Annie & Jon (Pizza). 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.
