Just in case anybody missed the message, NANFA Mississippi is firmly behind
this. As Charlie Nunziata so wisely pointed out, not all NANFA activity is
centered around collecting for the home aquarium. I will be VERY
disappointed if the majority of the other regional reps do not get in on
this, even if they have to go it alone. It's time to earn your pay, guys
