There have been major problems shipping live fishes recently due to USPS
embargos, airline restrictions, and world events. As a result, the
incredible amount and variety available at this month's meeting may soon be
a thing of the past. PLEASE take good care of the fishes you currently have
or obtain. Breed them if you can and spread them around - we may not have
the luxury of shipping so many killifish into or out of the Bay Area in the
future.

Widows and orphans. Al is looking for female Rivulus gransabanae (or a
good home for two males). Howard Wu is looking for male magnificus for his
females. Marty Fischer is looking for a male nigripinnis Nancay, male Ples.
bitteri, and male Nematolebias myersi. Bill is looking for female boitonei,
female Simp. zonatus, female celiae "Mambanda, GPE 90/17", and female Simp.
flammeus "Nova Roma BR 93/10". Barry Cooper is looking for rubripinnis
Lisinjiri River, one of the more recent collections of rachovii, and other
interesting Nothos. Please contact the above (or <bi-@killi.net>;) if you
have surplus of any of these available.

The BAKA web page is under reconstruction at a NEW site to be announced
soon. NEW website manager Sue Bunte, Napa <Zam-@aol.com>;

2001-02 Officers :
President - Tim Patterson, Burlingame <tpa-@csus.com>;
Vice President - John Boylan, Richmond <jboy-@home.com>;
NEW Treasurer - Royal Ingersoll, Hillsborough <ROLO-@aol.com>;
NEW Secretary - Bill Gallagher, San Rafael <bi-@killi.net>;
Librarian - Jim Clark, Hayward <Bjimc-@aol.com>;
NEW West Coast Weekend show chairman - Sue Bunte, Napa <Zam-@aol.com>;

The NEW volunteer positions above were appointed by club president in
September to fill recent vacancies.

+++++++++++++++++++++

BAKA meets every THIRD Saturday of the month.

West Coast Weekend, the big regional killifish show, will be held at
Centennial Hall in Hayward, CA on April 20-21, 2002. A full and varied
list of speakers is already booked and will be announced shortly.
