We will have a drawing for a Club shirt. It will have coral on the front and fish on the sleeves. The winner picks size and color.

When you guys have a meeting how long do you stay for?

 

[techdiver]

Depending on what we are doing, the main part of the meeting may be about done in one to one and a half hours. But members like to talk with each other for longer than that. I think we stayed around 2 to 2.5 hours at the meetings we had at restaurants, but there isn't a set time.

A big thank you to the Carter family for hosting the February meeting. I think this meeting went real well. Marshall went over DIY rock background building and different filtration methods. The baby girl is a cute little thing.

We had pizza, chips n dip, and several desserts! :dance:

Marshall put a spin on the coral give aways. We played dirty Santa with coral. That was pretty wild. I know the hammer, zoanthids, and monte caps changed hands several times. :crazy1:

There were many prizes given away. Marshall will put the winners and info on here later. Maybe he can post a few pics since I forgot to bring my camera.

I had fun. Thank you Marshall for hosting a great and fun meeting. Tell the wife thanks for putting up with us.

I'd like to see your new swap/meeting frags in their new homes.....I like my leather I got its almost a neon yellow in the middle and I am hoping it will start to grow out so it will move and get a really good look at what it is.
