Raffle at the meeting!!!

Doug, do you think I should just sell my donated frags instead of a raffle? It may generate a bit more money for the club that way. What do you think?
 
Yea that's the whole idea :)
your really donating the stuff you bring for the "Swap" to the club to make money :) so if you brought all those frags the club stands to make around 100 bucks just from your items alone :)
 
of course people can donate more the 5 as well
I know if some one brought say Purple Monster frags for example I would be donating way more then 5 bucks for a frag of something like that :D
 
Anyone is welcome to donate whatever they want whenever they want...that is not to be discouraged; however...

We have not established a method of accounting as of yet...murf is the financial coordinator and he will be gone until the end of the month. These are the details we have yet to work on. This frag swap is going to be small and informal...if we have a good turn out and it blossoms into something bigger that is great, but since this was sort of put together on the fly and is in Castle Rock I'm not holding out any grand expectations.

Even before this frag swap was put together Robert and I had discussed having a large scale local frag swap in Colorado Springs..that is still in the works with the hopes of it going off in either October or Novemebr, so...

If you bring frags and no one wants them just hang onto them until the formalized frag swap. Also this will be announced soon with further details so that everyone has time to get together quality frags on plugs.

Remember...this club has self sustained for 3 years without monetary efforts...we are now putting mechanisms into place to generate some cash flow for various events including a guest speaker twice a year or so. If you want ot donate, it will not be discouraged, but like I said, until a system of accounting is in place there is the possibility of errors. The goal is that by mid August, we have a formalized system of tracking all club revenues and expenses for the benefit of reporting if required.

I've probably gone on long enough, but rest assured this will be finalized once Murf gets back into town. This formalized system just arose prior to the last meeting, so just bare with us.

thanks,
 
Okay, we will do that then. But your right, some of these frags will be more than 5 bucks. A couple of these are about 80 bucks on some sites. Of course we wouldnt ask for that much. But Im not sure what to ask for though and whats fair. It all goes to the club so price doesnt really matter to me.
 
Where can you get plugs? Or suggestions to make your own. I will probably not have any fraggable sized stuff for this "swap". but Hopefully I will have some stuff for the "offical" one. Hopefully some of the expensive Micromussa I bought from Fragglereef will be ready so I can share the wealth. So looking forward to this next meeting. I wish I would have stumbled on this club sooner.
 
normanviking,

How many plugs are you hunting for? I have some bostonaqua farms plugs and disc you can have..

So we're talking $5 per ticket for the raffle????

$5 per ticket for the clam drawings...if we raffle anything else off it may be $2 per ticket.
 
Cool, I may have cleared up enough room on my DSB for yet another clam.:D Now I just need to buy enough tickets.

I use cut ceramic tiles, cut them in 1/4s and they work fine.
 
$5 and $2 sounds like a good price. Will the raffle be run the same as last time--each $2 ticket drawing is for a specific item--or will the winner get choice?
 
I remember on the Eric Bornemen propagation video I saw that he said the white marble works really well also. That corals and idetify with it because it is calcium carbonate or something like that.
