Keystone Killy Group – The Keystone Killy Group (founded 1985) is the affiliate club of the American Killifish Association serving the eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland area. Its primary purpose is to foster exchange of information, supplies, food, and fishes. The KKG does not now have any dues as a requirement for attendance, but expects members to actively participate in meetings and support the club by buying or selling in the auction. The cost of paper mailing of meeting notices will require $10.00 or $5.00 if you prefer only e-mail notice. Exchange groups will continue to receive notices gratis. Attendees at the meetings are asked to contribute $5.00 to help defray the cost of refreshments.

The Northeast Council of Aquarium Societies – The Northeast Council of Aquarium Societies was established in 1956 to assist and strengthen member societies, to act as a clearing house for material relating to the aquarium hobby, to assist local societies in publicizing their events and to promote the aquarium hobby in general. These goals remain as important now as they were then. New regulations are continuously being imposed and the computer age offers so many alternatives – both tremendous challenges to the tropical fishkeeping hobby. The NEC continues to promote education and comradery gained by sharing experiences and participating in other clubs’ activities. Communication is still the key.

The Federation of American Aquarium Societies (FAAS) – The Federation of American Aquarium Societies (FAAS), formed in 1973, is a service organization of and for aquarium societies of North, Central and South America. Although the original idea for FAAS was to band together to fight for the Hobby against the proposed federal ban of importation and transshipping of tropical fish, the Federation soon realized that a wealth of information existed among its members and therefore expanded. This information, if shared and passed along, could benefit all societies. All aquarium societies face common problems of attracting new members, staffing and financing their operations, coping with internal squabbles and so forth. FAAS believes that successful ideas and methods developed by one club could easily benefit others if it was made readily available. Therefore, FAAS became a national organization serving as the mechanism of communication between clubs; bringing together ideas, suggestions and information to its member societies and other interested parties. FAAS is now primarily a virtual, web-based organization which hosts information to help societies run better.
