Meeting

Unfortunately this meeting and the next I will be out of town. It was a hard decision but Aruba won. I really want to participate as I need to learn alot more. Please pencil me in for future meetings.
 
Should be a good event. Sounds like a few people are bringing a few items and I think the club has ordered in a few items from elmers.
 
Do we have enough large corals to frag for the workshop? I have a very large pink Anthelia ( spelling?) (softy)- but not willing to donate the whole thing. Also have a large green slimer colony (sps)- also not willing to donate the whole thing. Steve (or other officer of the club) - will the club purchase these from a member to use for the workshop, if needed? Not asking big bucks- but there worth too much to just donate. I know the club purchased several colonies in the past from stores for this frag workshop..... Don't mean to sound greedy, but if we are buying colonies form a store why not buy from members? Certainly, the purchase does not have to be from me.
 
While I do not disagree with purchasing from members, I also support purchasing from Elmer's. They provide us with great space for the meeting, and pretty much anything we ask for.

As far as purchasing from members, I see the benefit but I also see the opportunity of a few people getting upset if we dont buy from them or because we bought too much from some other member. Plus its an additional (albeit probably not a lot) organization on getting a list of who has what and how much they want to pay.
 
Also as a side note we should have the ability for new/renewing members to pay via paypal / credit card at the meeting.
 
Hmm... never thought of that- yes - purchase from Elmer's. We don't want to appear to have favorites or have individuals making money from the club. I was just thinking of how to save the club $$. I will just bring a large piece of the slimer to frag up as a donation, and possible a large piece of my pink anthellia ( somebody tell me how to spell this name) softy so we can cut up a "softy" as well.
 
The goal is for members to bring in and donate to the club as many corals as possible so we don't have to buy any. ;) We usually have enough donated corals that we don't buy anything except for something massive like a closed brain or something that is cool to take a tile saw to.
 
WOW!! I'm figuring out here, pretty quickly I might add, that theres gonna be alot for me to observe and learn about at this meeting! I'm sorry I wont be bringing any frags along,but then, everything in my reef is already a frag!
 
Unfortunately all of my stuff is pretty much mounted to my rockwork. Next one for sure I'll have quite a bit of SPS that will need thinned out, but for now, I don't have anything since my situation is like jimzin's....Most of it that was bigger than a frag was trimmed down to get into the new tank.
 
I will be getting my membership online this eve...is it safe to say that will be enough of a timeframe for my printed membership as i plan on attending my first meeting Saturday....one other question, i noticed on the PMASI site, it asked for "you forum username", safe to assume they are asking for my username from this forum?
