While our monthly meetings are open to all, membership in MAS includes special priviledges:

• ability to participate in programs such as BAP and HAP and to earn awards and recognition.
• abilty to bid on items at monthly meetings
• ability to participate in special activities such as darter collecting, fishroom tours, and the annual Plant Extravaganza

Being a member is just a good way to belong to this local community of fellow aquarists who share the same interest and passions.
