Hello Fishorama, Sorry I've only been a member for just two years. Mark's Peru presentation was wonderful, lots of colorful images. We were just shy of 40 in attendance.

I've been trying to encourage locals from the forums to check out us out. For 3 hours once a month: exchange insight, receive donated item from many supporting vendors and participate in the auction (great deals) for sellers and buyers. The group is very diverse having both families and individual who regularly attend.

Check out the list of officers on the website. I'm sure some of the names will be familiar.
