Wait, wait....so you pay $15 to get in and get the years membership in FMAS -OR- you join FMAS for 2007 and get in to the frag swap free? Which is it?

 

[jeffbrig]

It is my understanding that if you have not join the club, the money you pay to enter the frag swap will be credit against the membership fee for 2007.
I guess you could look at it which ever way and it is a win win for everyone

Your club card can be picked up with Michelle at the Holiday Party. Almost all club correspondence is made by email to the club members. The newsletter is the only piece of snail mail the club does that I am aware of.

The $15 gets you in the door and you get your FMAS membership free. Keep this a secret...if you would like (just for you) we will let you join the club for $15 and get in the door free.

I can't wait for this to come around. I missed the last frag swap.

 

[chrisaggie]

Since no one else has, I thought I would post a few frags I plan to bring.

1) ORA Purple Pillow
2) Blue Slimer (uncommon)
3) Green Slimer
4) Yellow Encrusting Xenia (rare, originated with me, has no stalks, grows like GSP)
5) Blue tip stag
6) Idaho grape gap
7) Purple rim cap

All memberships expire at the end of December. January 1st no one is officially a member until they renew for 2007 unless they are a past or current President or unless you have been awarded with a lifetime membership.In the past 50 years about 20 have been given lifetime memberships and half of them have past on to the big aquarium in the sky.I'll try to get a list of the people who have been awarded lifetime memberships but off the top of my head Martin Moe, Julian Sprung , Jeff Turner, are some that come to mind for exemplary volunteer work,donations,contributions to the hobby globally as well as locally or all the above.

Same thing as last year where members can bring their spouse for free, or does the spouse have to pay the $15 entrance/membership fee as well?

 

[julioperez01]

I can't wait. This will be my first frag swap

If you would like to bring a family member you will need a family membership. A family membership is $20 where as an individual membership is $15.
