Top 3 Reasons to join the Ottawa Valley Aquarium Society (OVAS)<\/div>
\r\n\r\n
<\/span>REASON NUMBER 1<\/div>
OVAS meetings are a great place to meet and socialize with other hobbyists, to compare notes, trade plants and fish, and to learn something new. OVAS members are a fine group of people who are happy to share their knowledge and experience. Whether you are new to the hobby or a seasoned expert, you will always find friendly faces who are more than happy to answer questions or help solve a problem. Our members include saltwater and freshwater enthusiasts, and we also have an ever-growing number of plant-oholics on board!<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n
<\/span>REASON NUMBER 2<\/div>
You don’t need to be a member to attend meetings and events but you should consider joining anyway. Membership dues are what make auctions, speakers, seminars, meetings, etc., possible. Dues are only $20\/year. OVAS also supports and encourages the hobby in various ways. Most recently, we have begun encouraging young people to enjoy the hobby through classroom tank donations<\/a> made possbile through membership dues and OVAS sponsors. <\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n
<\/span>REASON NUMBER 3<\/div>
Members enjoy a 10% DISCOUNT<\/strong> at Big Al’s<\/a> (East), Critter Jungle<\/a> (West), La Niche & Moi<\/a> (Gatineau), and at Ponds & Aquaria<\/a> (Kinburn). For many of us, the 10% discount more than pays for the membership every year. <\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n Join OVAS Today!<\/span><\/a>\r\n\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n
