Aquatic Gardeners Association Annual Convention

Let's Get Ready for AGA'08!

Attention all planted aquarium geeks! Planning is underway for the next AGA Convention, tentatively scheduled for November 13 - 16, 2008 in Atlanta, Georgia. We have begun working on a speaker line-up that may be the best we have done to date.

Never been to an AGA? Well, think of 150 or so like-minded people, all interested in talking about planted aquariums. Everything from Iwagumi to EI to collecting rare Crypts... it's all there.

There's still lots to do and we need your help. Please take a moment to look at the available positions on the AGA Convention Committee. Or, e-mail convention @ aquatic-gardeners.org. Please keep in mind that if you volunteer to chair a committee, we need 100% commitment and follow-through, right up to the post-convention report. So be very sure and check with your spouse before you commit. Most of these jobs are not difficult or time-consuming, but all are important. Thanks!

Larry Lampert, President
