ATTENTION: For all of you who use Comcast as your email provider. Fragswapper as well as our website can not send you emails about the swap. For some reason the servers that our sites are using are on a black list or something for comcast.
ANYWAY... Here is the email I sent out for anyone who hasn't recieved it.
Hello All, Thank you for signing up for NCPARS Fall Swap in Redlion PA. Here is an update for your enjoyment.
Dr. MAC will be attending the swap and setting up one of his systems. Coral Freak will be there as well selling from his setup. NCPARS may have other vendors there as well, they have not confirmed yet.
NCPARS will be doing a fragging demo of which all frags go into the raffle. NCPARS is still receiving and working on donations which is why there hasn't been an update. Don't worry we will still be having an NCPARS raffle! You'll just have to come and see for yourself what is in the raffle.
NCPARS is always looking for used equipment as well as excessively overgrown corals that you no longer want. NCPARS can use them in the raffle as well as numerous tank projects in highschools across PA.
Please bring anything you can spare for our cause. Conservation Through Education!
Don't forget that this event is catered so there should be plenty of food and drinks for everyone. That means, call your friends (reefing buddies) and have them all come down for a good time.
NCPARS will be having two speakers joining us this time. Steven Pro and John Coppolino. There talks should be very interesting.
NCPARS is going to have a membership meeting, iron out some details for you, work on the nominations committee, and hopefully update you on the future calander as well as the progress made for the spring swap.
Thank you all for your time,
Rick Pucciarella

OH yea, He made sure to ask me what to bring. I told him to bring a variety of his best. I know not everyone is into SPS so don't worry he will be bringing something for everyone. From looking at his website he has a nice selection right now, and his prices are very good.
thanks,
Rick
thanks,

Hi everyone, looking forward to attending. Rick, can we have a link to Dr. Mac's website in this thread?
Also, I am personally donating a beautiful home-grown rose BTA to the raffle. Extremely hardy. It just not only survived a move with 24 hours out of the water, but it split! I think my gallery has a picture of its' mama.

Question about admission pricing:
"
* Non-Members - Individual - $15
* Non-Members - Family (same household) - $25
"
Does this mean you pay $10 more if you are bringing someone with you that is not buying/trading? Or do none reefers pay $25? Sorry I may just be tired, but the wording is confusing to me.

For $25 you can bring the family in. It helps cover food costs, hall rental, drinks, and any speakers or misc. cost.
The swaps for NCPARS are fundraisers for our primary purpose "Conservation through Education" which we do in schools, tank projects, trips, etc.
I hope this helps out. The admission fee is not so that you can swap that is why swaping is free, it is so you can enjoy a worry free day with food, fun, and education!
Members do not have to pay admission fees, swap fees, etc, they pay their yearly membership fee and come right on in!

Just to let those who are trading with my husband (Carto) and I know, we will not be there for the start of the swap at 10AM. We have someone coming over to our house at 9 and they won't be leaving until around 10. We have about an hour and a half drive, so I don't think we'll be there too much before noon.
Ricky,
I was reading the above posting by Gordonious. Is it worth discussing a change in the pricing to distinguish between "couples" and "family"? It certainly is a difference in food consumed if you bring two people or you bring your whole family complete with 5 kids. Heck, if I brought 5 of my students they'd clear your food table in less than an hour
Just a thought.

Thanks for that Rick, appreciate it. Dyan you do have a good point there with the food, lol. My gf probably won't touch most of the food there if it interferes with her diet, lol. Now I brought my little brother along it would be a different story. :-D
I'm looking forward to the swap. Do we know about how many people we think will be coming? Has your club had many swaps in the past and do you expect to have many more swaps in the next year or so?

We do 2 swaps a year. Check out our website at www.ncpars.org
We also do other trips and things in between. Last year we did a collection trip on Long Island where we saw Lionfish, seahorses, butterflies, wrasses, and many other things. In fact most of my cleanup crew came from the botttom of Long Island!
We hope to do that again next year as it was educational and a extremely fun weekend for all.
