Signing up makes recording your hours easier, so be sure to register for all of the hours you want to work! Supporting Members earn $25 in FishBucks per hour volunteered. FishBucks are accrued throughout the year to be spent at our Holiday Party during the FishBucks auction. FishBucks are not redeemable for cash.
What type of fish/plants are you all bringing? I have a few Africian cichilds - yellow labs, zebras if anyone is interested.
