First night of WMC

[Justin74]

Congratulations and a thank you are soo deserved for the members and MARS BOD that made this wonderfull event materialize! Like I said Rich, and meant it It appeared practiced and rehearsed. Im sure theres a million and one stressors and headaches behind the scenes,but as an atendee I was completely oblivious to any of it, and could do nothing but thoroughly enjoy myself. Great vendors,products and above all else what a wonderfull collection of people all congregated in one location.

A lovely care package was given to all atendees and will be proud to wear my smart looking T-shirt. Simply put, Im excited for the next 2 days' events,and soo appreciative of all the hard work envolved in providing us a :thumbsup: :thumbsup: event. Thank you!

Agreed. A great start! You can tell a lot of work was done to get everything put together so well.

I absolutely concur. So far this has been an excellent conference. Thanks very much to all of you who have worked so hard to make this happen!

Justin, MandM, and Sherie -

Thanks for the compliment. It was a lot of work - but it's really paying off. The vendor area is looking great. Unfortunately most of the planners were not able hear the speaker. However, I did get to catch the tailend of Bob Fenner presentation, and it was great!

Did you get a chance to look at the raffle prizes? The all-in-one aquarium donated by TruVu (stand and canopy included) looked AWESOME! And tonight, one of the vendor donated a lightly used 1/4 HP chiller! Lumenarc donated Lumenarc III mini (sorry - they are not donating their whole display. It was a miscommunication.) CPR donated a BAK PACK Dual Pak. There's a MH pendent with ballast donate donated by Innovative Lighting Solutions (thank Robert - see post below). We have gift certificates. Tons of dry goods. Believe it or not - what you saw at the raffle table is not all of the prizes. I am too tired to recall everything. Of course - you have to be an attendee to win.

If anyone is still interested in attending, it still not too late to do an onsite registration. The price is $130.

PS - it's not too late to add dinner. James (our treasure) got the hotel to accept new dinner count (to a certain extent) until about 9:30ish.
