Members' Update 35/09

Dear Member of OFI,
 
I hope your business is slowly improving after a slow (and for Europe) hot summer. For some members, in other countries, it might have been too wet and for some too cold!
Yes, our world can be quite different! Lucky we are!!!
 
Now, in Belgium and Europe, the cold and wet days are bringing the fish hobbyists inside their homes and closer to their fish tanks;
We see some slight improvement and we hope it will continue....because we all need it! Especially when we have scheduled a trip to Brazil!
 
I am happy to inform you that I have booked my trip to Manaus and Aquamazonia 2010 and the boat trip on the Amazon river( Projeto Piaba).
Several members have informed me that they would also join and some are not sure. And what about you?
I know it is not cheap when you have to add on your airline ticket to all other expenses that occur in Brazil.
In 2008, I took the decision to make in the future such trip again because it was worthwhile the experience!
When I remember the great experience that I enjoyed during my Amazon trip in 2008 I did not want to miss this new opportunity with Aquamazonia 2010.
 
I invite you to join me and other members on this unforgettable trip = once in a life time you should make this Amazon trip
Now especially when it is all about fish....
 
Let me know if you have decided to go on this trip and I will try to get us all on the same boat...to enjoy nature, life and friendship!
 
Looking forward to hear from you!
 
Warm regards
Gerald Bassleer
