The Aquatic Gardeners Association Supports Local Clubs!

The Aquatic Gardeners Association recognizes the increasing importance of local aquatic plant clubs. As our hobby grows, these clubs are popping up everywhere!! We want to support your club in any way we can. Here are some things we can do:

• Feel FREE at any time to post on the AGA-member mailing list and the AGA forum regarding your local club’s meetings and events.
• Your club’s web site can have a FREE link on the AGA links page. Just e-mail membership at aquatic-gardeners.org.
• The AGA offers FREE prizes for your local club’s HAP program or contest or whatever. E-mail membership at aquatic-gardeners.org for more information.
• FREE sets of TAGs and PAMs, and even a FREE one-year AGA membership gift certificate (please, only one per club per year). Raffle it, auction it, donate it.
• If your local club hosts an interesting event, have someone write a short article about it and submit a few photos. We’ll try to publish it in TAG if at all possible.
• Need a speaker idea? E-mail us and we’ll put you in touch with someone in your area if we can.
• If your club publishes a journal or newsletter, we will consider trading ads and editor-to-editor exchanges, based of course on similarity of interests etc.
• Here is a great article: "How-to Guide to Creating a Local Aquatic Plant Club" by John Glaeser of the Madison Aquarium Gardeners Club.
• And of course, we offer Group Discounts and a Premium Club Program.

Eventually, we would like to publish an AGA Member Directory. This has been suggested as a way for members to find each other and create or expand their clubs. We have the information, all we need is a volunteer to do the work. Would you be willing to volunteer to put this project together? It would probably require several weekends of layout work, willingness to e-mail folks and compile information, an eye for detail, and an absolute commitment to confidentiality. This could be a one-time project for you, but we would like to publish the AGA Directory annually or semi-annually, so if you only wish to commit to one year, your methods must be reproduceable and transparent. E-mail membership at aquatic-gardeners.org for more information.
