in an earlier post I said....
As a business person, I saw speakers bureaus available as resouces to businesses. As a Bonsai nut I saw instructors who would come to a club
or business or individual. In koi, we are fortunate to have AKCA,ZNA with many fine judges that lend their time with seminars during the show. But who can you get for a club meeting, special non show event or business promotion. So i felt the nitch was there.

I don't feel this particular nitch has been filled. I certainly Agree Grant is a wonderful, knowledgeable representative who has changed and found his nitch each time. I feel for me this is mine.

Dick,
To me, this is an equivalent to professional athletes. nothing beats getting pay for playing. way, way too cool to do. Good luck with your new endeavor.

How timely that I saw this thread!! At our next board meeting I'll be pushing for the club to caugh up some $$$ to bring in a speaker for one of our spring meetings. Dick, I'll be in contact to see what the financial expenses would be. Our club is fairly new, but I think we could manage to free up some of the treas for such an event...at least I hope so.

Congrats & Best Wishes!!!!

Hi Dick, congratulations on your new website and business endeavor. I am sure that you will do well as can be attested in how patient, kind and knowledgable you were when we were a wrangling team at the NWKG Club koi show this past year. Thank you for the Matsunosuke lesson as well as how to select good tosai and bonsai. Good luck and best wishes on your new endeavor. I will most definitely talk to my club about hosting you in the near future.

Since ZNA NorCal didnt get Toshio Sakai as a keynote speaker, maybe they can arrange for Dick to give a seminar.

Thank-you all for your interest and support. It's always fun to share and meet new friends.Not Surprisingly I always learn something Myself during these visits. I think a good teacher themselves have to be a good student
