Joining the Wisconsin Reef Society (WRS)

[srlumaye1]

As far as joining WRS; Dues are $10/year, prorated from Sept 1. March 1st the dues will be $15, which covers the rest of this term, plus all next term.

Please make out the check to "WRS"

Payment can be sent to:

Rick Boyd
1633 N Prospect Ave #22C
Milwaukee, WI 53202


Upon joining you will be issued an "ID" card that can be used at various local fish stores for discounts. You will also be allowed to join the yahoogroups forum which is similar to the Reef Central forum, except communication is limited to paid members. It can be set up so that individual communications go directly to your email inbox, a daily digest can be sent to your email inbox, or you can just log into yahoogroups when you see fit.

There is 50% (a rough estimate!) more traffic on the yahoogroups forum, more immediate responses can be had, and is where all information on group buys / special orders/ club info will be found.

Membership is a requirement for special raffles/giveaways/etc. Free/heavily discounted frags can be had from some members also. In the past WRS has brought in guest speakers, but the need doesn't seem there to continue that at this time.

WRS is a non-profit group. I could go on about some of the other benefits not mentioned here, but stop in at a meeting and you will learn a lot more...

If mailing a check is that much work then you are in the wrong hobby. Paypal also charges fee's to the person receiving the funds.

I was wondering the same thing.

Sure, You can send the $15 in now if you like. That way by March 1 everything will be in place for your membership to become active.

When you send your check in please also provide your street address, email address and phone number so that we can get the WRS ID's made up and sent to you.
