Well the party Saturday eve should be a great time and we have an awesome list of goodies available for our raffle.

1-$20 Gift card for The Lizard King, donated by The Lizard King

1-Coralife Turbo-Twist 6x UV Sterilizer, donated by Petland
1-Oceanic 8 gallon Biocube, donated by Petland
Plus many more items donated by Paradice Cove Pets (he's kinda tight lipped about it)
Also bring along a 5x7 picture of your tank to be entered in the Petland tank of the month contest for November, and yes I know its December already but they did not have an entry for November so they agreed to do one special for our party and the winner will be announced at the party as well. The winner gets a $25 Petland Gift Card. Robert has also agreed to give everyone that attends a 20% discount coupon as well. Please see an OMS officer to get your coupon. Oh, and the 2006 tank of the month winners will be entered in to a drawing to win a 90 gallon reef tank as well. Just a heads up, they have only been doing this for about 6 months so if you win you have a 1 in 6 chance to win a nice tank valued at $800. If you do not win at the party you can enter again at Petland for the December contest. They will draw in January for the grand prize and you must be present to win.
In putting this party together our local stores have really stepped forward by donating items for our raffles, please find time to attend saturday night as it should be a great time. It should be a full house.
I would also like to let everyone know that Paradise Cove will be open for your business during the entire party so if you see something you want, take it home with you on the way out. I would also like to thank Jeff at PCP for volunteering his store to us and supplying food and atmosphere.
I sure hope to see all of you Saturday
