2008 Club Meeting Schedule

[crumbletop]

Hello All!

Time to fill in the schedule for '08. Currently there are 4 slots open. I need Terrie and Terry from NTRC to confirm a date for the 4th annual joint club meeting. For the open dates (June, August, September, and November) I'd like to see if there are folks who have not hosted in the past that would like to host. If you would like to volunteer for a slot, please let me know. Maybe some of the MTSU students want to band together to host a meeting? Just some thoughts. Also, if you have ideas for topics that you would like to have presented/discussed at the meetings this year, chime in

Norman here is you chance I think Aug or Sept would be good time then we can BBQ outside. We could also set up tours of some of the other reefers stuff in the Boro that have small places

Jack Put me down for Sept 13 (Saturday) at my place in the boro. It is a small place, but if Brian & Moriah can handle it, then I will to ......but the nearest thing to home brew I can make is "Tea"

Norman

 

[HowardCath]

I could do Sat. Aug. 9. If anyone would like to speak or suggest an activity, there might be time left after everyone tells me how to improve my tank!

ps -- helps if you don't mind dogs

seein' some interests in a group order for reeftopia, will Emerald Bay be doin' like they did last meeting on a group cleanup crew order?

Steve

 

[crumbletop]

I don't know. We'll decide that closer to the meeting. The group buy went great last year and so it is a possibility.

 

[crumbletop]

Oh my...

Well, Wayne and I worked on the date for next years swap so he could see about getting a speaker who is good friends with his brother. I'll update the schedule with the info

Anyone who hasn't hosted before or in a while up for doing the November meeting? I'll give this a few more days before I open it up to the regulars

 

[waynesworld]

Could we do a Thanksgiving meeting at a restaurant since Nov is so close and people are getting the houses ready. Or we could fry some turkeys some place.

 

[eyebedam]

I may be able to do the Nov meeting.

 

[crumbletop]

Sounds good, Jason. There is also a possibility that we might work something out at another LFS who is interested in doing something with the club. It's a ways off, so I'll be in touch as things develop and we can figure something out.

 

[mikemartinez]

Things are looking real good this year... Cant wait for the meeting next month.. The DIY LR and aquascaping has me REAL interested...

 

[teamreefers]

It would be a long drive but CRA in Athens AL has expressed interest is hosting a MTRC meeting. John said he would make sure everyone left with some nice gifts.
