On Wednesday evening, we flew in a speaker for the club members to learn from. His name is Mitch Carl, and he's from the Omaha Zoo. His presentation about Project SECORE was very interesting, and he had tons of pictures for us to see. Definitely an excellent speaker as he's fun as well as knowledgeable on this topic.

I found this article about him that came out this month that covers the same topic, so you can get an idea about SECORE:

We had 150 people attend, including Eric Borneman






Our meet took place at the Dallas World Aquarium, which is a beautiful place with lots of 1500g tanks. The building is three stories with a bunch of other animals, but that section was closed off for the evening.

After the presentation, we wandered around to see the tanks, and I shot two videos. They aren't big, but you might enjoy them.
