In 1989, a group of 20 Atlanta
area koi enthusiasts formed the Atlanta Koi Club (AKC)
to promote the keeping, breeding, and exhibiting of koi
through regularly scheduled meetings and activities. The
Atlanta Koi Club is a nonprofit organization, existing
solely for the mutual benefit of its members. In 1994,
the club established the motto of "Dedicated to Sharing
the Joy of Keeping Koi." The current club logo was also
designed at that time.
We will have our 20th
anniversary in 2009 and also host our 15th annual koi
show. It is a big year for the club!
All AKC officers are non-paid
volunteers. The AKC Executive Committee consists of the
President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and
Property Manager. Each member of the Executive Committee
servers a two year term of office.
The Atlanta Koi Club is a
member of the Associated Koi Clubs of America (AKCA),
which is composed of over 104 koi clubs in the United
States and Canada. Among other services, AKCA provides
free publications on various pond and fish topics, Koi
Health Advisor training, Club AKCA Koi of the Year
Awards and Certificates, and Club AKCA Koi Person of the
Year Certificates. AKCA also publishes the "KOIUSA"
magazine.
Since it was formed, the
Atlanta Koi Club has grown from 20 members to proudly
serving over 100 members. We warmly welcome all new
members and visitors!
