 MASVC was founded in 2005 by local aquarium enthusiasts in the Ventura County area. What started out as an online forum developed by our president, Rich Overton, has evolved into an official club where salt water aquarium hobbyists with interests in full blown reef systems or simple fish only displays can get together. MASVC has regularly scheduled meetings that are held the first Thursday of the month at various locations in Ventura County. Our meetings are really an open forum to discuss the many aspects of keeping your own little piece of the ocean. Though we are a small club compared to others in the Southern California region, we have a great diverse group with a wide range of experience in the hobby. MASVC is also a proud member of MASNA. We believe that being affiliated with such an organization is not just a way to attract new members, but also a great resource where we can get some of the leading experts in the industry and hobby in general to come and give presentations that usually only happen once a year in Chicago for the select few that can swing a trip like that. When it comes to sharing knowledge, our folks like to get involved. Club members will often put together presentations on items ranging from lighting and flow to proper husbandry methods for all types of marine life. We have members who have been in the hobby for up to 20 years and some who are in the aquarium supply and livestock trades, so there is always a friendly place to get the advice or opinion you are looking for. There are great benefits associated with becoming a member of MASVC. There are special member-only events such as visits to wholesalers, exciting trips to manufacturers, and discounts at local fish stores. Dues paying members are also eligible for election to club offices, and the right to vote in elections and on other club related issues. This is just the beginning! We hope to add more benefits as the club continues to grow. Our club dues are only $24 a year or just 2 bucks a month. If you live in the Ventura County area, and are looking for a great club to join, you've found the place. Come join MASVC now and help us grow. We meet on the third Tuesday of each month at Round Table Pizza in Camarillo. You can get involved right now by logging on to www.masvc.org . You don't have to be a member to use the site, so drop by and check us out! You can also come by one of our meetings and introduce yourself, see how much fun we have, and maybe get involved in the great discussions that always pop up at the meetings. |
