Alright everyone! Lets make this meeting count! This is the last official Meeting we will have with Bob! So please, lets just gather around, and give him a great send off, as he starts the new chapter in his life in Florida!

Bob has been around in the RMCA longer then a lot of us have been alive. To many of us, not only is he the face of the RMCA, but a father figure and mentor to us in the fish hobby. Everybody knows Bob! He has helped this community not only in Colorado, but in the nation in general grow substantially. He is a great role model to many people. This club would not be what it is today, without his influence, his humor, and his love to help people, not only in fish, but in life as well. Bob understands the importance of the younger generation getting into fish. Always being up beat, and great with kids. His love and jolliness has rubbed off on all of us. Even if we are having hard times, just him being there brings uplifting feelings in our hearts. He is our Fish Dad. So lets gather together this month, and just fill the room with Fish, Love, and Bob!

Mini-Fish Auction! Please bring a bag or two to sell! Our Monthly Mini-Auctions have been growing, and becoming “not so mini” So if you have some extra fish you’d like to sell, plants, ext. Bring them! As Always we will try to bring in fish from Davesfish.com for the Mini Auction!

We will also be bringing in fish from davesfish.com for Mini-Auction. Feel free to contact Dave if you would like to order any fish and save on shipping. Only $20 for same day air-cargo delivered to the meeting. Just tell Dave to ship it to the RMCA June meeting.

Also there is a Bowl Show, categories listed below.
Let’s show off some of our Best Fish to Bob before he leaves!

We will be bringing in Food and Door Prizes!
So if you’d like, please bring some goodies!
