April 28 Reef Club Meeting - St Jude Aquarium and Hospital Tour

Greetings Fellow Reefers and WTMRAC Members!

Announcing this month's club meeting! We will be having a behind the scenes tour of the three reef tanks at St Jude Children's Research Hospital: the huge 800 gallon acrylic tank in the new Chili Center plus the two smaller (225 gallon!) reef tanks in the children's wing of the main hospital. Staff from Memfish who routinely care for the tanks will be taking us behind the scenes to learn about the in's and out's of maintaining such large systems.

The date will be Saturday April 28. Rather than show up at the security gate one car at a time, we'll meet first at TJ Mulligan's, a nice little Irish pub located at 362 North Main Street in downtown Memphis. Mulligan's is only a block from the St Jude main gate. Let's plan to meet at TJ's at 5:30 PM and we can take some time to mingle, have a beer or soda, order some of their good pub food if you like. We'll all leave together to go to St Jude at 6:30 PM. Following the reef tour if anyone is interested, I'd be happy to lead a tour through the hospital, the Danny Thomas Research Tower, my lab if there's interest, and finally the Danny Thomas Pavilion and garden.

So put this on your calendar! Please RSVP so I know the names to put on the security list. As always, you're welcomed to bring a guest. Arrive at TJ Mulligan's no later than 6:30 PM so you don't miss our departure, but please come earlier for a meet and greet!

See you soon, and until then, Best Fishes!
