**NEW frag swap date September 15th**

I think 230-300 is a good time to start the auction. Dont get me wrong Scott, no one I have spoke to is complaining, just that they would like the auctions to move a little more quickly and I think if two people are running the auction (one to auction and one to record and cash out), things will flow better. Like you said, this will give time for people to view and decide what they want to bid on. Sorry I wasnt a little more clear in the last post :)

I am going to contact TCB this afternoon and let them know we are expecting about 25 people. Remember that we will have a server or two, so if anyone wants to order food and/or drinks, we will have someone doing that. Appetizers are great and I think are on a happy hour pricing system, I'll check on that when I call. No one has to order anything, but let's try to support them a little since they are hosting us for free!

Tang,

By any chance do you think TCB has wireless? It would seem like a longshot, but at the last swap, some of us benefited by the ability to quick search corals we were interested in.

See you on Sat.

I just want to thank everyone that showed up to the meet. It was great to see some new faces. I hope everyone had a great time and are enjoying the newest additions to their tanks.

Dont forget we are doing it again Sunday October, 14th! I'll see you all there!.

This was a great location, we were isolated from the rest of the restaurant, had plenty of space, and were well cared for by the TCB staff. I think this spot will be good for about 10-15 more people. Did anyone get a headcount? It seems there were about 20 people there.

We started at 2pm and I left at 4:30. The location was very effecient too. Thanks to everyone, especially Dave and Colleen for helping with the auction and to Jess for the arrangements.

For those who won a door prize, please let me know what you think of the screensaver. I also have one with local reef tank pictures made with the same program. I have handed it out at previous events, but I think most of this crowd is new and have not seen it. Is there any interest to bring more next time?

I had fun!!!
 
Many, many thanks to all who made this swap possible, especially Scott, Dave, Jess, and Colleen.

Much appreciation as well to those who brought such great coral, phyto, and dry goods!

It was wonderful to meet everyone and I look forward to seeing you next month.

Thanks guys! This was my first frag swap here in Tucson, and I came away with some cool stuff. Although me thinks I need to switch to 20K bulbs if I want them to be the same colors they were at the swap :(.
 
Hey everyone :) Im glad we had a great turnout! It's awesome that we will be able to do this every month and continue to get to know each other better and meet new people.

Thanks to everyone who helped and to those who brought items to sell/trade, etc. Look forward to seeing you all next month! I'll be posting a time soon for any/all of us to come together and discuss how we can further the group's potential and agendas and grab lots of ideas. See you all soon!
