The Camellia Koi Club of Sacramento is a nonprofit, educational group of
koi enthusiasts serving the central California valley and foothills
surrounding Sacramento. We have monthly meetings with great food,
a speaker, and a discussion of koi-related topics. We publish a
monthly newsletter, have yearly shows, sponsor a pond tour every other
year, take field trips to koi dealers, and help each other. Our
club was started 26 years ago by a few koi lovers and has grown to over
100 families.
If you would like more information about koi
or our club, please continue to browse through this web page or contact
our president,
Marilee Marshall. |
