Recording Secretary of the Tropical Fish Society of RI
•••
The regular monthly meeting of the Tropical Fish Society of Rhode Island was held on August 20, 2014, at 7 p.m., at the
Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The President, Paul Muscatiello, the Treasurer, Rich
Pierce, and the Recording Secretary, Judy Weinberg, being present. Representatives George Gourlart, Kim Mullen, Pat
Parent and Eric Mather were also in attendance
The meeting minutes of July 16 were read and accepted.
The Treasurer's report was read and accepted. The insurance for the club has been paid. The club has $14,500 in the
checking and savings account, all told.
The events for the rest of the year line up as follows: In September, Ryan McAndrews will give a talk on the Great Barrier
Reef; In October, Rich and Tony will host a photography workshop, so bring your cameras; in November, Eric will give a
talk on the technical aspects of keeping aquatic plants; and in December, we will have a holiday party, with a Yankee
swap, and a pizza social.
Show Chairman, George Goulart, said that seven show class sponsorships have been spoken for, but that there were 13
classes left, at a cost of $40 each. There are three scribes so far for the show, but a couple more are needed. Stand setup is ready for Friday morning and fish set-up will take place Friday from 3 to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon.
A new print photography class of fish in tanks is being added this year, to be judged by Tony. Any type of print may be
submitted, nothing larger than 10X12, and the photo should be sharply focused and have good composition.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:05 p.m.

SEPTEMBER’S MEETING MINUTES
by Judy Weinberg
Recording Secretary of the Tropical Fish Society of RI
•••
TFSRI Regular Meeting Minutes of September 17, 2014
Events chair, Rick Burt, said that October’s meeting
would be a photo workshop given by Tony and Rich.
There will be some tanks set up to focus on, and there
will be discussion about what type of camera to use,
photoshopping, and so on. The hope is to have a hands
on experience, so remember to bring a camera of some
nature. In Novermber, Eric will give an in-depth talk on
plant aquatics and in December, we will have a holiday
party with its usual fun and games, including a dinner
social. (November is also the month during which the
best of the best bowl first-place show winners should be
brought in for a vote-off.)
The regular monthly meeting of the Tropical Fish Society
of Rhode Island was held on September 17, at 7 plm., at
the Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals. The President, Paul Muscatiello, the Vice
President, Rick Burt, the Treasurer, Rich Pierce,
Corresponding Secretary, Pat Parent, and Recording
Secretary, Judy Weinberg, being present.
Representatives, Kim Mullen, George Goulart, and
Roland Mandler were also present.
The meeting minutes of August 20, 2014 were read and
accepted.
It was decided that January would be a regular meeting
and that the Members Appreciation Night would be held
in February, instead.
The Treasurer’s report was read and accepted. He noted
that all items that needed to paid and reimbursed were
taken care of, incuding payment from the Boston
Aquarium Society, for their half-share toward the visit of
Paul Loiselle in June.
The spring auction is to be held on March 14, 2015 and
the fall show and auction will be set for the weekend
after Labor Day. It was noted that Karen Randall will
enter her own planted tank in our show and that the
judge for that class would be club member, Jane
Snellman.
Paul noted that the lots were down from last spring’s
auction. He also pointed out the difference between
Tony’s and Joe Massi’s auctioneering styles, but added
that there was nothing really confusing between the two.
The meeting adjourned at 10:15 p.m.
