Some info form results

[Jody]

Hi All,

  So tonight at the meeting I brought out a little form, to get some ideas of what the members wanted to see, ask about interests, what they like in the club, if they wanted to volunteer, and got some great results. 15 members filled it out, thanks Peter and Sid for strong arming people to fill them out! No form, no raffle prize! LOL

Cichlids (8 people)
Bottom Feeders (including Catfish, plecos, cories, eels, loaches and other scavengers) (6 people)
Plants (5 people)

Nano tanks/Fish (3 people)
Freshwater, saltwater & corals, breeding (2 people each group)
Oddballs/Weird fish (2 people)

What aspect is enjoyed the most?

Doug Cass wins the how long you have been a member of OVAS with 50 years!! wow!
2 people 1 year or less
4 people 2-5 years
3 people 6-10 years
5 people 20-30 years

Interest in volunteering?
7 people said yes, 4 anyway possible, 3 as helpers but not exec
8 said no but it logistical (no car)

Thanks again for filling it out everyone!  I think if we continue over the next couple of meetings, and maybe even if we can get some filled out at the auction, we can attract more members to the club.
