Johnna has been a very
active member of the club since the first day she
joined the club. In only a few years she has worked
her way to being the VP and in line to be President.
Her love for the fish and her quest for knowledge
has led her to be one of 4 KHA's (Koi health
adviser) in our club. She is the first person many
club members call when they are having a problem
with their pond or their fish.
Johnna is also one of the
editors for the KHA news letter; this is a letter
that only KHA's receive so you need to know what
you’re talking about when you write something in it.
She also is the first member to have an article in
Koi USA, as far as I know.
This year like last, she has
been the driving force in getting our pond tour
going. Like last year, she has taken on the task of
putting the Pond Tour Booklet together and has done
a wonderful job.
