Comment by Sylvia Bernstein on June 18, 2011 at 4:41pm: Hmmm...I think the best thing to do would be to fill out the registration form, but don't go through PayPal. Then send a check to me at The Aquaponic Source at the address on the Contact Us tab on the Association website. I'll get you set up. Looking forward to meeting you!

Comment by TCLynx on June 10, 2011 at 6:16pm: Poke Poke, how's the web site coming?

Not to bug you or anything, but I'm bugging you.

Comment by Green Acre Aquaponics on June 7, 2011 at 11:49am: We sure do! Murray is our evening keynote speaker and he will also be doing the Sunday morning workshop, 'Morning with Murray'.

Comment by Lee DeLano on June 7, 2011 at 11:42am: yes!!! Most of what we have learned has been thru his utube videos. We recently purchased DIY Aquaponics, And actually came all the way from Australia, because at the time we couldn't find it here in the US. Later found 2 places that are authorized to sell his DVD's

Comment by TCLynx on June 7, 2011 at 11:35am: I do believe they actually have Murray coming in person. I hope, I'm looking forward to meeting him in person myself.
