Announcing The Ohio Regional Chapter of The North American Native Fishes
Association's and The Mahoning River Consortium's Spring Outing, Saturday,
May 11th 2002. All are welcome to take part in this unique, fun and
educational opportunity to explore the little known natural wonders of area
streams, hosted by me, Rob Carillio. Yes folks, these are the same streams
you may cross over everyday on your way to work, or wherever you may be
going! You'll be amazed at the diversity of aquatic and terrestrial life
that make these habitats their home! In the spotlight this day will be the
amazing assemblage of the area's Native Fishes. Thought you had to go
snorkeling on a coral reef to see colorful fish??. Think again! Try
visiting a local stream! You will be in awe to see the local fishes in
their full Springtime breeding colors. Don't forget the camera!

See why fishes such as the Rainbow Darter and Southern Redbelly Dace are so
named! Also, witness the strange and unusual fishes such as Madtom
Catfish, and Mottled Sculpin! Learn about how these fishes and other
aquatic life play key a role in helping to maintain and keep our water
resources clean and your taxes lower! This and a lot more will be in store
for this eventful day! Sites are still being determined, but will stick
within a 35 mile radius of where we depart. We will meet at approximately
9:00 am, Saturday, May 11th 2002, at The Warren Public Library in Downtown
Warren. Carpooling is strongly suggested, because it's not really a good
idea to have 15 cars showing up at a site where there would me minimal
parking. If you plan on attending, please wear old shoes and clothes of
which you don't mind getting wet or a bit dirty! Also, you might want to
bring a sack lunch! PLEASE RSVP BY APRIL 29TH by e-mailing or calling me,
Rob Carillio at darterman_at_hotmail.com or 330-393-4448 Also, if you need
directions or any other information, please don't hesitate to call or e-mail
DON'T MISS THIS ONE!!!...HOPE TO SEE YOU IN MAY!!!

Sincerely, Rob
