So in December Rich Ross, Senior Aquatic Biologist at the Steinhart Aquarium will be coming to us to give a talk! I've heard time and time again he is a prolific and entertaining speaker. We will be having a potluck right before the talk so bring your most exquisite dishes.

Every year tons of other clubs and marine societies pay Rich Ross to fly around the country to speak about his research and adventures. We're so lucky to have him right here in the Bay Area!

You are invited to come! Bring something.....food....drinks...plates.....appetite.....humor.....good vibrations, etc!

UPDATE: We will be in Room 758

CALL ME 111-111-1111 if you cant find the room.

It is near the solar panel parking lot

I'm gonna go with maybe at this point. I really really want to come but haven't been doing well lately which means the tanks aren't doing well either. Got the NVR stineheart tour today so I'm gonna have to see how this week goes to know if I can make it. If I do we will prolly bring my moms broccoli salad as I couldn't think of a way to keep my killer corn casserole everyone loves hot enough with the 2hr drive

wfong, my wife Ellen will bring asian cold noodle salad plus another dish garlic noodles. Looking forward to this event.
 
Mike, add two more people to my reservation. There names are David and Theresa. They will bring curry chicken with rice. You need to bring your microwave for heating up hot dishes.
 
Theresa and I will be there. The room is almost directly above 722 (where we have had meeting and swaps in the past). To get to 751, walk past 722 and enter the door in the end of the other half of 700 (there will be signs), go up the stairs and turn left at the top. 751 will be in front of you.
