[OVAS-News]

A fish-friendly reminder from the Ottawa Valley Aquarium Society...

Shortly following the giant auction, we will be celebrating OVAS' Birthday with a Trivia Night, Pizza and Birthday Cake!
 

Trivia Night

That pre-auction aquarium research will come in handy for trivia night! And if it doesn't, the pizza and cake will not disappoint!  Teams will compete for prizes.  This is not Jeopardy, unless you answer everything with a question, so come prepared! 


Members' Corner

All members are invited to showcase their aquarium related projects and discoveries at our meetings! You, or an executive member, can share your photos, videos, or other content of up to 5 minutes, at the beginning of our meetings. Please talk to the exec about submitting your content.


OVAS Merchandise

OVAS T-Shirts are now available! They are $25, and offered in sizes 2XL, XL, L, M, & S. Celebrate the club and fish-keeping. The shirt-back features a cool vintage motif, and the front features the OVAS logo, on blue.
