CAFE is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion and enjoyment of the aquarium hobby. CAFE hosts a number of events and meetings throughout the year sure to interest novice and veteran aquarists alike. If you have more questions, need advice, or just want to chat with fellow hobbyists, CAFE is the place to be! More information on who we are and what we do is available here on the site, and of course, don't forget to visit our Forum.
The cost of a CAFE membership is $15/person or $20/family. This is a steal if you look at all of the benefits that the club membership provides…
The Winter Swap Meet
The Spring Auction
Native Fish Collection Trips
Summer BBQ
The CAFE Menu – Our Quarterly Club Newsletter
Fish Room Tours
The Fall Auction
Holiday Party
***And starting this year, In-Person Meetings***
…and we are striving to add even more value to a CAFE membership!
Join CAFE for our Summer BBQ Saturday, July 25th! This is a due paying member event. Members will receive an email regarding the event ahead of time. CAFE will provide hotdogs, hamburgers, buns, condiments, drinks, plates and silverware. We are asking each member that attends to bring a side dish or dessert. Members are also asked to RSVP. Members with a family membership are encouraged to bring the family. We just need a headcount so we can estimate how many hotdogs to burgers to provide. Details to come!
