When: Saturday, June 19, 2010. Starts at 3 PM.

Where:
Bill and Cathy's home
161 Bayview Drive
San Rafael, CA

The house is actually right at the split in the road, not before it. Please look for the gate at the split.

Bill said "My gate will be marked with a balloon or sign. The gate will be closed, but use the intercom at the gate for entrance. We have a new parking system that works pretty well when many cars come. Please tell everybody who is offloading food, drinks, fish, etc. to drive to the end of my driveway and offload - we might then direct them to re-park lower during the meeting. If we can keep the turnaround at the top relatively clear, this works well."


Activities:
This is an informal afternoon social and families are encouraged. We will barbecue and talk killifish. There is a pool if you want to take a dip. The bird-watching and views are also incredible.

There will be some basics for the BBQ such as chicken, sausages & soft drinks. If you can bring additional foods like salad, chips & drinks, it would be great. Please RSVP by email to info@sfbaka.net regarding the BBQ.

Business:
1) WCW weekend in 2011
2) BAKA Meeting Schedule for 2010 and 2011
3) Possible joint speaker/meeting with San Francisco Aquarium Society

Program:
The Mystery of Maeseni. Bill Gallagher will discuss the history, care and breeding of the killifish first known in the hobby as "Roloffia maeseni", along with recent taxonomic developments in the genus Archiaphyosemion.
