January 20th 2007: Membership Drive with Huge give away prizes from our sponsors.

[pwhitby]

I thought I would start a thread with details of the January meeting in it. As you know, this is the first meeting of the COMAS year (since memberships run Jan to Jan) and to encourage as many people to sign up, we try to organize as many give away door prizes as possible. To be eligible for any door prize you have to be a paid member of COMAS by then, or sign up on that night at the meeting. Im not sure of the date yet.....but to start things rolling....I will list the door prizes we will have, as the sponsors pass that information along.

So, since Airwaterice have been extremely generous once again, the first Item on our list is

Typhoon III model RODI unit.

More to be added.......

Man, AWI! That's three years in a row that I know of them. They'll be getting an applause/email from me soon.

 

[pwhitby]

AWI have been one of the best supporters we have had. Their generosity is exceptional. I think Tampa bay saltwater coms in a close second.

Because of their sponsorship of the club I bought a typhoon III from AWI. I must say I am very impressed with the quality of it, and their customer service is unrivaled. I know you can get a lot of bargain ro/di from ebay and other sources, but once you factor in their cheaper shipping (some of those sellers charge $40 or $50 shipping) and all the extra goodies (ie pressure gauge and tds meter) the AWI unit far outperforms the others and is worth the few extra pennies you pay for it in the beginning.

Can membership be purchased now or is the club not set up to credit dues for next year? Do I need to pay the rest of this year and then pay for next year? I'm not a paid member, but myself and another Lawtonian have discussed joining and possibly carpooling to a few meetings a year.

I don't know if it could be fully and properly Kured. I'll try.

 

[papagimp]

I've got a frogspawn that I was going to frag out and make room for my new improved frogspawn. I'll check the donor lists to see if it's not on any of them already, if not, I could get a 2 headed frag ready.
