As pretty much has been usual for the past few years, most of the board members are unopposed so far. I say 'so far' because their will be an additional chance to nominate someone at the October meeting before the election in November. One board member, Kirk P is not running and has dropped out of being the 2nd Vice President. Wayne (don't know his last name) has been nominated for that spot. If you want to run, ask someone to nominate you at the next meeting (you'll need a second to the nomination too).
Other business included mention of the up coming Long Island Reptile Expo at the Hilton Hotel in Farmingdale, NY on October 19th. It is expected that the LIHS will have a table there. Volunteers to help out at the LIHS table during the day might be needed. Check with one of the board members on that if you want to volunteer. I will probably be helping out at the LIHS table for the entire expo.
After business was discussed we moved onto the presentation for the meeting. That turned out to be a show and tell sort of an exhibit given by some of the members. Rich Hume did a short talk on his breeding efforts with a few morphs of corn snakes and hognose snakes. Mike V also gave a presentation ion Ball Python morphs and showed an exceptionally nice one that looked as if it had ink blots on its sides. You have to see it up close to see how awesome is that snake.
After that, just about everyone remained for an hour or so and chatted. it was nice to see some folks I have not seen over the summer and I think there were some new faces there too. All in all, I am guessing we had about 20-25 folks in attendance. Hope to see more of you at some of the future meetings. The remainder of this season's meeting dates are:
October 26
November 16
December 7
January 18
February 15
March 15
April 12
May 3
June 7
As usual, the meetings are held in the Conference Center at SUNY Farmingdale. Directions and a link to a campus map can be found at the page at this link:
All the best,
