I think the response from shops would be hit and miss. No way to know
without asking them.

We would need to delineate how the program would run and then take it to
the Board. The idea conforms to some of NANFA's goals. NANFA woundn't
want to be associated with a program unless it was run well.

I'm thinking a preliminary pilot project would leave the level of
involvement at the dicretion of the individual volunteer. The time
involved will depend on how it's run. If there's not a lot of publicity,
the time required may be minimal. Maybe someone should write an editorial
for the fish mags.
