q       date would probably not make a difference.  Last month they celebrated Children’s Day at the Japanese Cultural Center with a display and games.  This weekend is the Annual Pet expo and this club will have a display of koi for all the visitors to see.  Time that will all change.  They can expect to have a write-up and pictures about that.  Dave Peebler, of Koi Club of Kansas, said that two ladies will be taking their final exams for KHA at the Seminar.  That may be all that will be attending this year.  With all the info on the internet, people don’t feel quite the need to go to Seminars except for the social life.
