Possible clubs

Hi Steve,

According to my copy of Nichirin the only ZNA Chapter in Canada is in British Columbia...sorry.

According to Koi USA these koi clubs are in Illinois, no cities listed, but surely one must be in Chicago.

Central Illinois Watergardeners: www.geocities.com/ciwg

Midwest Pond and Koi Society: www.mpks.org

Northern Midwest ZNA Chapter: www.nmzna.org

Placid Pond & Koi Club: No web-site listed (there is a contact ph number and name..pm me for info.

Prairieland Koi & Pond Society: wwwpraireland_pond.tripod.com

Hope these help.

MPKS is located in Chicago. So is the NMZNA club. I am a member of the NMZNA club. There are also some dealers such as Southwest Koi & Goldfish.

if you didn't send this message, I would continue waiting for your email. outlook screwed up and filtered your email. after I read your message below I look around and found your email in the junk folder along with some of my friends' emails

Mike, is Southwest Koi the father son team that is always at the shows? Not sure where Sue Miller Enterprises run out of but she is at the local shows and sells Ray Abels' fish. Kevin Karstens, I thought had some fish too.

The ZNA club and the MPKS club are very nice organizations.
