January 30th Meeting

[scolley]

I think we need name tags in the future with name/screen name on them.

+1 !

That would be really helpful.

The fish food exercise was definitely fun. My fish are going to get to try it in just a few minute. And the raffle was definitely fun. And now that we've got a "treasury" from the proceeds, I've got to figure out where to put the loot. If anyone has any good ideas on that, pls send me a PM.

'Twas much fun! Many thanks to all that came, brought fish food, got messy, contributed frags, bought raffle tickets, and contributed to the great conversation!

And for the record, we sold 107 raffle tickets. I bought 14, and had my ticket pulled from the bag 6 times. Not sure how I pulled that off, but it does look fishy... :jester:

I thought only 2 people there that havent been ARK but they said they will be at next meeting.. But I do thing some kind of intruduction would be nice maybe next meeting right when we first start will spend a couple min. just saying our name and a quick intro about yourself before the meeting starts so we get to know each other a little bit better. And I wanna make some cheap t-shirts just a simple thing a picture of a reef or something and our name on it .. Brian

I can print ID tags from the info on our website (http://www.arksc.org/). I don't have holders though so if people have holders they can bring their own and we'll just slide in the printouts. Nickname and first name are probably all I'll print. Maybe tge avatar as well if you have one uploaded on the website

BTW Brian you asked about the gallery right? Try this:
Login to http://www.arksc.org/-> Click on Gallery on the left under User Menu -> click on User Panel on the top left corner of the gallery column (right below where it says "Gallery". Once you click there, you'll see New Picture button. From there it is just a form to upload the files.

Also the meeting next month is on Sunday 21st, not Saturday 20th.

I put a photo of the food we were making on the website with a few words about the meeting.

THz, I've also wondered how to upload photos to the website. I don't see a New Picture button. I followed your instructions above.

Ok I just enabled all access for all categories. Now you should see New Picture and Categories button. You can create your own categories and upload photos in the existing ones.

Let me know if it still doesn't work.

That sounds perfect. Except...

Why don't you get some Avery Labels from Staples? I'm happy to pay for them (personally - not club funds, of course). And you could bring some blanks to the meeting too, 'cuz there's always going to be someone that either hasn't registered on your site, or it's their first meeting (and 1 meeting makes you a member, remember?).

Sure, that works too. I'll stop by staples and get the smallest pack they have. Online looks like the smallest one is 160 of 1-1/2" x 2-3/4" size and is 4 bucks so no need to pay for them. As for first comers I can print theirs too. Next meeting is, after all, at my place

Cheers,

That fixed it. I can see the buttons now.

That sounds good for the name tags then we can just give them back at the end of the meeting and then resuse them at the other meetings..
