Greetings, all.

I just received word from Ferdinand: He has accepted our CMAS's invitation to speak at our October 18th meeting.

For those of you who do not know, Ferdinand Cruz is a field trainer in the Philippines. Formerly with the Marine Aquarium Council, he has been working with local governments on formally opening up marine ornamental fish collection areas and conducting net trainings. Ferdinand is on the front lines in the reform movement in the Philippines and has firsthand knowledge of the industry and the cyanide trade.

Topic to be announced shortly.

This will be a double bill, with Sanjay Joshi speaking about lighting on the same day.

I'm quite excited about this program.
Two of my favorite topics in the same meeting! :)

More as soon as things get finalized...

Regards.

Gresham,

Typically, we don't do this.
However, I'll see what I can do.
I make no promises...

Talked to Ferdinand for a short while tonight...

He is over his jet-lag and sounded very energized. He is excited about having the opportunity to speak to us, and is really looking forward to the visit.

I really hope we can pack the room in Schaumburg.

Regards.
