In
our 3rd year of existence, we have been finding our way with the help of many established friends of koi and also
through other clubs. We have been working for the first two years on being educated
in the art of koi keeping, getting to know one another, decide where we are going, what we want in a club and searching the
Yakima Valley for more members. This year we are working on several new approaches
to interest pond keepers in our cause. We have handed out brochures at the Garden
Show, held a seminar at the Yakima Arboretum and were greeters and promoters at one of the homes for the Yakima Garden Tour. We are working on a booth at the Yakima Farmers Market to further promote the enjoyment
of ponding, koi and goldfish and water gardening in the Yakima Valley and will also do a seminar at one of the local nurseries
this summer. Our main focus is to educate the public in the wonderful knobby
of koi keeping
