Greater Seattle Aquarium Society

The GSAS board is collecting member input through the month of May.  Some of the important things we're evaluating for the next year: 1) whether to keep going with the Saturday meetings, 2) what sorts of speakers to hunt down for the next year or so, 3) a check-up on our contests and participation programs, and 4) whether we have the volunteer base to host a big convention in Seattle.

Please give us your thoughts by clicking the button below, or visit gsas.org/m

Thank you!

A big thank you to everyone who came out in force to our record-breaking general auction this year, especially to all our volunteers who worked tirelessly the whole day. And a special thanks to the sponsor stores and national companies.

Our big auctions still remain the primary source of income from the club, and their success means we can pay our rent and Internet video storage bills, bring in top quality speakers, and have nice prizes in our contests throughout the year. Thanks again!
