Additionally, he is a member of the Gulf and South Atlantic States Regional Panel, the Mississippi River Basin Regional Panel, and the Western Regional Panel (all are regional panels of the federal Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force).

The Fall Show and Conference was held on October 24-25, 2009 at the Hilton Garden Inn on Hwy 183 in Irving. Our speakers were recruited by John Hansen. It proved to be one of the most enjoyable and successful conferences we have held.  One of the first things you see at a conference is the registration desk. Much of our success was due to Colleen, Brenda, Kathy, and Brittany.  Deep felt thanks go to John Hansen for arranging the excellent speakers at the conference.  All I have to say is 'Bid first & bid often'  Behind the auction desk  Saturday Night Dinner at Outback Steakhouse On August 15, 2009, we continued one of our favorite traditions – a “Pool Party” at Mike & Dianne Stewart’s house. We always call it a pool party but the truth is, very little (if any) swimming occurs. But it is always one of the most anticipated meetings of the year.  Dianne Stewart & Kathy England.  Allen & Debbie relaxing at the Stewarts.  Mike & Carla Johnson always seem to have a smile on their faces.  TCA Members are always ready to line up and smile.  That's Marvin England with another plate full of food, and Jim Lancaster just chilling out. On June 20, 2009, the monthly meeting convened at Deep Sea Aquatics in East Dallas. Owner Dan Engmark gave a wonderful tour of the production facilities, including the construction of a 90 gallon tank as we watched. Dan also presented excellent thoughts concerning the future of the hobby as it concerns manufacturers.  Dan Engmark & Allen Young beside one of the beautiful aquariums on display at Deep Sea Aquatics. On May 23, 2009 many TCA members enjoyed a great afternoon at Joe Pool Lake. Here are a few images from that day.  When you see this sign you're almost there.  Marvin, Debbie, Allen, Kathy E., & Kathy S. I'm not sure who's cooking and who's just trying to be first in line.  Put the camera down. We're ready to eat.  The Andrews boys get seconds.  You can't have a picnic at the lake without a boat. |
