And don't forget that after Anthony's presentation and fragging demonstration there will be a frag auction featuring frags from the likes of Reefer Madness, Exotic Reefs, Fragfarmers, HVRK members and RC's own SPStoner!

Following the frag auction, drawings will be held for the many door prizes that will be given away along with a raffle where you can win great prizes like a Euro-reef protein skimmer, a Typhoon III RO/DI system from Air, Water and Ice, a T-5 retrofit setup from IceCap, a 29 gallon deluxe aquarium from Marineland, gift certificates from Oceans Motions, Marine Depot, and more!

I cannot believe I signed up for this - I will be on vacation from the 14th to 24th! Drat. If my reservation is transferable - it is up for grabs. Good gravy, I am going to miss the meeting too!

btw - I heard Anthony Calfo speak on Long Island, he is such an energetic and passionate speaker I am sure this is going to be a fantastic event.

I would like to personally thank the HVRK and Anthony Calfo for such an amazing event. I definately noticed how well organized and thought out the event was. I had a wonderful time as I'm sure the other members of CDMAS did. We all should definately look into a group get together/frag swap in the future.

 

[Krazy]

Yes !!!

I totally agree !!!!

It was definately a great time, the frag auction was fun and Anthony Calfo, GREAT SPEAKER !!!!

Thanks HVRK !~

Wonderful time...
Great bunch of people...
Fabulous speaker...

I liked how the raffle was conducted and thought the auction was a blast! Learned alot and got alot of new ideas from them.

A joint meet sometime definately should be held.

Too bad more CDMAS members didn't attend. Only 1.5 hours south of Albany.

Finally, special thanks to HVRK for organizing the event....great job guys! :thumbsup:

Was held around the corner from my house but I had a clam bake to go too. Have to say you guys set up a sweet event...

 

[TA]

hmmmmm......

The old "Clam vs. Calfo" dilemma....!!!!
Rainer can tell you....the winner is...CALFO!

 

[Rainer Feyer]

Calfo without a doubt!

 

[Tomzpc]

Great meeting you guys. It's safe to say that this event wouldn't have been the success that it was or nearly as fun without the CDMAS contingent. We were a a little disappointed to only get a few attendees from each of the other area groups (CT, NJ, Manhattan) but you guys were well represented! Anthony Calfo, as usual, didn't disappoint. Hopefully we can do something similar next year. In the meantime, we'll definitely have to talk about doing a joint gathering/frag swap some time before the end of the year. Thanks again for making the trip guys and gals!

 

[Tomzpc]

oops...double post

 

[nine9d]

Hey guys, I have been very busy and I'm sorry that I have not been able to get here to post. I wanted to thank all of you for coming to make this one great event. Anthony was great and the whole event seemed to go off without a hitch. Hopefully in the future, we can set something up together. Looking forward to seeing you all again.

- Ross
