Man! now I am really upset that I can not make it

 

[GreshamH]

Be sure to leave time next year for the event then. We're shooting for May or June

 

[Auntbeez]

friendorfoe... sorry you can't make it, but it means I'll have better chances to win all the the goodies.

PS: sweet skimmer.

2:10pm Frank Burr

Lak, Brian, and I are all home from BAYMAC and had a good time. Thanks guys for your help, there is no way I could have done it alone.

A big "thank you" to Gresham and Max for organizing and hosting the first BAYMAC. Using the raffle to support the participating clubs was a generous and awesome idea. Much appreciated!!

A very big "thank you" to all of the NVR members who donated frags to this event! Thanks to you we raised a substantial amount of money that goes directly into NVR. To make sure due credit is given here is the list of those who donated frags to NVR:

AuntBeez (Barbara)
Seaskrap (Nathan)
Purebred (Will)
JeremyS (Jeremy)
RobsReefs (Robert)
FriendorFoe (Anthony)
Elliott (Elliott)
DrDoolittle (Ed)
GKlompen (Gina)
RionRoxxx (Ryan)
Lanxang (Lak)
Mothra (Jake)

We priced your frag donations according to the NVR spirit of 'spread the wealth' and suffice to say most of the reefers shopping at our booth were very appreciative of the friendly deals. We sold almost every frag donated! Already several people have PM'd me just to say how happy they were with their purchases... Good job NVR!

Also a special thank you goes out to Kalypso Aquatics. Elliott had a metal stand fabricated for our frag tank and let us use one of his lights as well. This helped out in a big way! Thanks Elliott!



Thanks to everyone's support we raised close to $1000 for the club!! This will go a long way to building bigger and better events for NVR. We're in progress of planning 2009 right now so it's good timing.

We learned a few things from this event and we're looking forward to the next one. Thanks again to EVERYONE.

 

[Auntbeez]

I am home as well from the long day. I just want to say I think everyone had a good time. And Thanks to those who helped out in the booth... Great work.

I am a bit tired so I am posting the MARS link (where I uploaded the photos I took) because I can't hold my eyes open much longer.

Enjoy.

Sounds like I missed a good time. I was really meaning to go, but when I woke up Sunday I realized that I had a million and one things to do to prep for. Looks like NVR members made an impact at BAYMAC with the sale of frags. Way to go!!!

 

[Jacob D]

It was a cool event.

In addition to the frags donated Brian (bbl_nk) donated home made muffins and sold them for a buck each... I think I bought the most

next, MARS

Jacob and Lak - it was great seeing you guys. I am going to try to make it down to your Christmas party.

 

[Jacob D]

Hey guys, for those who didn't get their contributing member cards at the Christmas Party, they are now at Kalypso Aquatics for you to pick up. There was a card with name on it for everyone who donated 4 or more frags to the BAYMAC cause.


edit: I just realized I have Robs and Rion's card on my desk for some reason. I'll drop them off next time I stop by there (soon). Sorry about that.

 

[Auntbeez]

Cool, Not sure when I'll get over there, but when I do, I'll try to remember to ask for it.
Thanks Jake.

 

[RiOnRoxXx]

Jake I can swing by your place today really quick if that is ok with you? I'm picking up my daughter and she lives around the corner from your place on Richland.
