If one did not know better, than one might assume a wee bit of anxiety over my attendance. On a serious note I am not sure if Ken's health can handle the trip/debate. Besides Burger, are you scared that if you showed I would challenge you to 18 holes? We could always hold the meeting at a country club... The Tigeress

OK, what is the latest news? Do you want me to invite a few clients that would learn and bring info to the table. I think most are pond boss subscriber but not on this board, but some my not be, invite them or not. Have a date in mind yet? Deb I really hope you and Ken can make it out.

My topic ideas are aquatic plants, the good/bad/ugly...renovating ponds with/during a drawdown...diversifying the forage base. I have another thought. (that's scary!) Someone should gather up everyone's digital photos: ponds, fish, working the pond, more fish, your innovative ideas etc. and put together a "slideshow". Someone out there must be good at this. I'll bring my camera and take pictures of everyone there to post. Maybe Bob will put you all in the mag... JB

I just heard about the meeting in Georgia. I'm in Lake Sovereign in Canton, Ga on a 43 acre lake. We have a clubhouse that sits on the lake with a dock and boat ramp. We're about 40 minutes from the airport and the clubhouse can be rented for $75.00. Greg Grimes manages our lake so he can let you know about the facilities here. I can also send pictures of the lake and clubhouse if you're interested.
I'm looking forward to attending where ever you have it.
Thanks Phyllis pplea@comcast.net

Hey count me in, I have spoke to many of you on this site and would consider it a privilege to meet you in person. I am 2 hours south of Atlanta just outside Columbus. Some of you may remember I am the guy that struggles with a bloom each year but finally figured it out with the help of this site. I recently added TF and they have done great and my RW are up so I guess from a novice standpoint I am not sure what I would have to offer other than experiances. Looking forward to it.

I would love to go. Can't commit right now though. My topic would be just to see some good picture presentation of various members ponds/families/fish/structures/set ups. Especially from people who 'winged' it and then found POND BOSS and what they would have done differently. Toby

I just had a thought. It would be great if I could get my local NRCS guy there. Maybe he could explain to all of us why the NRCS cannot offer any assistance in pond building. Even better, get our local ACoE district engineer to tell us why they are not allowing any more ponds to be build in this district. I'll leave it up to someone else to invite them.
Hey Moe, I'm trying to think but nuthin's happening!

Jersey, that certainly is an idea worth exploring.
I think you might have to check all weapons and firearms at the door so as to avoid a potentially bad situation.
