NWAAS SWAP MEET AND CHRISTMAS PARTY

NWAAS is going to do something different in December. Usually, we have a Christmas party, but this year, we are holding a swap meet AND a Christmas party! The party starts immediately following the swap meet. So come to buy. Come to sell. Stay for the party! The club will provide pizza and soft drinks at the party. Come mingle with other hobbyists. We're still putting things together. So fun party details will come later.

If you'd like to sell at the swap meet, tables are $20 each. You set up your merchandise. You make the deals. You collect the money. There are a limited number of tables (23). CONTACT Corey Mohrhauser TO RESERVE YOURS, to be sure that we have a table for you. YOU MUST RESERVE YOUR TABLE UP FRONT, but you will choose your table LOCATION when you arrive. First come, first serve.

As always, you can find full details on our website: https://nwaas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4083

A new pygmy seahorse has been discovered off the coast of Japan — and it’s the size of a grain of rice. The brightly colored Hippocampus japapigu or “Japan pig” was recently identified hiding among algae in southeastern Japan. While the animal’s name may seem a bit odd, the locals insist t...

Meet Phylliroe: the sea slug that looks and swims like a fish

Biologists have a habit of naming things after cool animals. Cars named after comb jellies, internet passwords after giant squid. Most of these names I recognized, but then I saw my friend’s wifi signal: “Phylliroe”, an animal name I’d never heard before. It took me a while to figure out who...
