| ZNA SoCal 33rd Annual Koi Show March 24 & 25 2007 Dear Members and Friends of ZNA Southern California Chapter Koi Club, Our 33rd Annual Open Koi Show will be held on March 24-25, 2007, at the Gardena Civic Center Complex (1700 West 162nd Street, Gardena, California 90247). This year’s show will be dedicated to one of our founding members, Charlie Seu. A memorial award (Best Shiro Utsuri) has been established to honor Charlie who was a pillar of our organization and loved by all. The show will again be held “English Style” and will be open to the public free of charge. Enclosed are show packets and/or flyers containing information about this event. You can help us publicize our show by spreading the word among your koi kichi friends, displaying our show information at club meetings, and posting show flyers at koi related businesses. If you would like to volunteer to help with the koi show please contact club president, Don Kobashigawa, at (818) 207-3238 or donkobash@aol.com .We could use all the help we can get!!! Several show activities have been scheduled throughout the weekend. Learn about pond building and koi husbandry at our Saturday 1-4pm Lecture Series (show site).

Also, on Sunday at 11 am, join us for the Great Koi Auction where you may be able to purchase show quality koi at discounted prices. Our show will also host several Japanese cultural activities.

I am in the same situation as you. I have been told, in no uncertain terms, that under the ZNA rules, a pond builder is considered "professional". I've stopped fighting the issue even though I don't see the corolation between building ponds and having a personal collection of koi and wish to compete as an amateur. The bottom line is this: IF YOU SELL DRY PRODUCTS OR INSTALL PONDS, INCLUDING FILTERS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT, YOU ARE CONSIDERED BY ZNA RULES TO BE A PROFESSIONAL!! If you would like to pm me to ask any further info, feel free to do so. Mike Perret | |

| K D S D . . . Every one has an opinion. You were told to contact Don K. and/or Chai T. (the ZNA SoCal President and Show Chair) if you wanted an answer to your question. You were given their email addys. You were told they make and enforce the rules. Have you contacted them? 'Cause everything else is an opinion and worth what you paid for it -- which is exactly nothing. Again. |
