Re: [Killietalk] Shows and new members

["Bill Shenefelt" <william_shenefelt at verizon.net>]

It is mostly the new friends and contact information and caring support that 
makes the new members and new hobbyists get into killifish.  The 
organizations provide a source for more contacts and shows provide a means 
for physically meeting these people.  I think a lot of the new attendance 
needs to come first from making the friends and getting them interested 
enough to travel to the meetings.  Few new hobbyists will drive over 10 
miles to go to a show of unknown outcome, but if you get someone into 
killies and demonstrate what killie keepers are like, then you can get them 
into putting out the effort to take a trip.
