President's Message

Pondside is the apt name of our newsletter. How nice it is pondside, beside our pond and beside the ponds of fellow koi kichi. The different places and ponds and the diverse pond keepers and koi kept make OAK&PC one of the most extraordinary koi clubs in America. There are about 100 other AKCA clubs, there are 20 AKCA Certified Judges, our club claims two. KHAs and Grand Champions we've got them, workers unnoticed behind the scenes they're there, you don't always see them. Old timers sure, not to name any names, and newcomers just in the door, and we'll welcome more. 2010 promises to be an exciting year for OAK&PC members. The Central Florida Koi Show, the Showa grow-out, the Pond Tour, the Field Trips, offer plenty to see and show, much to do and many opportunities to volunteer. The strength of a club is in its membership and with our club each long time and every new member bring a different strength.             Rob Forbis
