Hey MARS brothers and sisters,
I think you guys have your spring scrap swap on the same weekend but want to make sure you all have the invite in case you want to make it. Northern Valley Reefers has a really special and unique speaker making his first appearance in California. Paul Baldassano, or "Paul B" on Reef Central, is flying in from New York to share his unique experience/story with us. He doesn't make it to California often (last time was during the Vietnam War); for most of us this will be the one and only time to speak to him in person.
Here's a summary:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Topic: Evolution of the Hobby and 30 Year-Old Tank by Paul Baldassano
When: Saturday, April 25, 12:00 noon
Where: Valley Brewery Family Restaurant, Banquet Room
Address: 157 W. Adams St., Stockton CA
Today Paul has one of the oldest, if not the oldest, reef tanks owned by an individual at over 30 years old. If you have seen his threads on Reef Central you're no doubt familiar with his tank. It definitely has a character of its own containing things such as antique bottles collected on dives, an undergravel filter still alive and kicking, and some difficult to keep species of gorgonians and fish. Paul's unique experience and insight on the evolution of the saltwater hobby is not something easily come by. This is a one of a kind meeting that you definitely do not want to miss!
-------------------------------------------------------------
You guys are always invited to join us, our meetings are open to all. Every once in a while we like to throw out a reminder to the other clubs within driving distance. The meeting day is also on the weekend of the Asparagus festival in Stockton if you like to multi-task and make a trip out of it.
Thanks!
Brian and the entire NVR team!
