Eager is good
About the Calgary Aquarium Society thing. You're right on the money here, we would be a club with a more specialized focus, there isn't (as I understand it) a lot of overlap. In fact, it's my understanding that the CAS is primarily a freshwater and FW/planted focus (although I am certain there are members with SW and reef tanks). But nevertheless, I feel that there should be a some kind of "dotted line" affiliation, because, well, just because we'd be "kin".
I'd be willing to host a business meeting (if you guys pretend not to notice the messy house). I'm thinking a weekend for this, this weekend is too short notice, the next weekend is the long weekend so let's consider that out (since some will be away for that). So how does Saturday May 29 sound?
