Are they're now 2 clubs? I saw on mars that people from wtmar are "throwing in the towel" I thought we were all in one club. Is there two clubs? I thought people switched to mars just as a new name or something.
 
You can read the summary of the WTMRAC August meeting posted on this forum for details, but what you'll learn is that WTMRAC is no more. The annual frag swap originally planned for next month is canceled. However, the Reef Central WTMRAC forum will still be available for communications. Several of us still interested in occasional club gatherings will be joining up with the Jackson Area Reef Club when they meet.
 
To bbarton, there are no clubs now, not 2, not even one. MARS is not a reef club, and WTMRAC decided to quit. MARS is in the works of being a vehicle of communication, info sharing, and some new ideas. I communicated the desire to keep WTMRAC open to the head of WTMRAC, as closing the doors would leave Memphis with nothing, but they felt WTMRAC wasn't worth saving. Since that was their decision, I am going to try to get MARS going so Memphis will have something in the marine hobby realm.
 
Your distortions of the facts bore me Jay, but I won't debate them here.

The fact is that WTMRAC shut down, and there is no reef club in Memphis. I am trying to get MARS going now so that Memphis has some avenue to enjoy the hobby and communicate.
 
Maybe OneReef should have gone to the meeting Sat. night. ????????
I have been keeping reef tanks for 10+ years and was a member of WTMRAC the first two years it was started. And besides that, I can not fathom the idea that people on here are arguing the fact that the money was donated to St. Jude with kids that are fighting cancer or any other organization to help people in need, instead of a club that that promotes us keeping fish and corals in glass boxes in our homes.

I'm confused. I thought there was a new elite reef club?

The "said" organization shut down a month or 2 ago in an effort to allow WTMRAC to reinvigorate and grow. Now that WTMRAC has closed, it might allow a new organization to appear. Time will tell. It's not going to happen anytime soon, if at all, until people want a new organization. Which they may not.
 
Ok I read the stuff you said to read neuroslicer. I was just confused. I don't get on here as much as I should I guess. I first thought it was the same club just that you guys changed name then for some reason i went to the west ten page and people were still posting. It just confused me. Idk about any by laws or anything I just love this hobby and enjoy talking and trading with people who love it like me. If you guys donated money to st Jude I think that is great. If I had money to spare I would donate to them as well. Hope I can stay in contact with all you guys.
