MARS 2015 Fall Charity Frag Swap

[EnderTurtle]

Our friends over at the Marine Aquarists Roundtable of Sacramento (MARS) are having a killer frag swap this year for a GOOD cause.

That time of year again folks the MARS Fall Charity frag swap is just around the corner so save the date.

When: Saturday Nov. 7th, 2015

Where: International Associations of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Hall
2749 Sunrise Blvd., Rancho Cordova, CA 95742 (Same place)

Time: TBD but most likely 10-11am open with a 12pm start

Part of the proceeds will go to Tyler's Grace Foundation which is devoted to providing families diagnosed with terminal cancer the opportunity to make precious memories together. Their goal is to transport family members from their daily routine to a peaceful and tranquil setting where they can take a break from the stress of fighting cancer and create special memories that last a lifetime.

Vendors: Probably same as last year, maybe 1 or 2 more.

Wow that's a LOT of raffle prizes.

Even more impressive that most of them were donated! Awesome job guys!

I want the VortechQ and the Gryphon Bandsaw!

Ender, will you be bringing some more Flaming Zebras? Didn't manage to snag any from you at the BAR swap.

 

[EnderTurtle]

I have a mini colony of those flaming zebras in the frag tank. Plan was to cut and sell for a club fundraiser but I can bring some frags

Someone from Sacramento did win a mini colony at the last bar frag swap, soooo it's in your area.

Excited for the MARS frag swap. Coming up innnnnn two weeks.

 

[BirmanReefGirl]

I would love it if you brought some! I've been eyeing them for a while. No worries if you need to save them all for the club fundraiser....I'd be happy to buy a frag from you instead and contribute to BAR! (I read the forum enough that I feel like an out of town lurking member anyway )
