Ctars conference

CMAC is back !!!!! The Connecticut Area Reef Society is once again going back to Mohegan Sun Casino on Sunday October 28, 2012. They have Steven Pro, Murray Camp, Christine Williams and they will have a room full of vendors. So come on down!!!



They have just announced that two special guests will be attending. You will have the opportunity to meet and greet with the stars of the hit television show Tanked featured on the Animal Planet channel - both Wayde King and Brett Raymer travel the country building some of the world’s most interesting and intricate acrylic aquariums.



For more information and registration, please go to www.conference.ctars.org.
 
The early bird registration is now over. The BOD has decided that we will give you $5 off the entry if you bring a non perishable food item. Thanksgiving is around the corner people can use the help so bring an item get $5 off bringing the cost to $25 this way we all save.
 
So some of you folks may have heard through the grapevine that there might just be a “Frankenstorm” coming. * But not to CMAC – at least I’m still a hopeless romantic!

This storm has caused two of our original speakers to politely decline from coming on Sunday due to the potential for really bad and quite possibly dangerous traveling conditions. Some hurricane track models have CT as close to the area of landfall, but we just don’t know for sure.

Both Murray Camp and Christine Williams let me know yesterday about their concerns of potentially having to travel poor weather. We told them to do what’s best and that safety is first.

Lastly, just prior to their meet and greet, the gentlemen Wayde King and Brett Raymer will give us a quick 30 minute background talk about who they are, what they do, etc.
