Gotcha. Re-reading what he wrote I can see how it might look that way, but I think he qualifies it with the "..I for one". Basically stating why he joined the local club.

Again, no harm meant. I am hoping to attend the August WRS meeting in Appleton. If there is one scheduled in the area for an earlier date, feel free to post the info on our board. I'm sure a few of us would be interested in attending.

I'm from Milwaukee, a member of WRS, but wouldn't mind joining a fox valley club also as I'll might be able to make a few of the meetings easier than when they are "Way down south" <G> in Milwaukee as I can drop the kids off at the Grandparents in Green Bay.

I have a bit to offer. I vollunteer for a Nursing Home/ Assisted Living Center in Seymour WI. About 4 years ago I took on a big project for them in Starting up a Reef Aquarium Display, this was the first time I ever did a reef setup and it has been a very educational experience ever since.

I don't think I gave enough info? I live in the village of Howard, and I interested in the "FVRC'S" group. Do I register with the
"Wis Reef Soc" first?

I didn't notice this thread before but seeing I made the February meeting am I already a member or do I need to do something official. I was the older fellow.

I just wanted to let you know that a few members had talked about having wrs being split up.. same club but like a north and south division... I know with gas prices it was getting hard for people from GB or Milwaukee or madison to go to either mettings, plus lots of other reasons..

This was a while back.. I dont think anything came of it... But this made sense because this allowed people from either place to go to either meeting if they wanted to under the same dues.. Plus it allowed WRS to stay stronger money wise.. Which is good because wrs still has the money to donate to Eric B or Rons S. projects or other save the reef funds... Plus still have the money to bring in speakers like they do..

Having something just local makes it hard to raise enough money to do those things. Also harder to bring in sponsers, or do bulk buys, it takes alot of members.

Maybe it is something that should have been brought up...

But like I said it was just talk between a few members once...


By the way I am just a member of wrs... That is the only way I am related to WRS.. I just hate to see people up in Greenbay leave because I have made some good freinds up in that area though the club.

But I understand...

First rule of Fox Valley Reefers Club is, you do no talk about Fox Valley Reefers Club.

(sorry just had to do it)

Don't worry Dave....I wont leave you. Just havn't had the time to get to meetings lately. I already missed the first two in this group.

Once things settle down I will host another WRS meeting. About a year from now when I actually have something to show.

Hey Scott ..

I have not been too a meeting probably as long as you... .I was going to go to the last one till that snowstorm hit... They just have been on the wrong days mostly..
Laff


By the way we need to get together sometime just to have a few beers or something... Been a while...


Dave

 

[gooch]

Hopefully when Borneman reschedules we can have a little get together at my place like we did with Tyree. We all got pretty shnikered up then. Hopefully Gareth and I wont have to work on a leaking bulkhead like last time.

Maybe sooner. Going to Minnesota this weekend to hammer out the details on my 360 gallon tank.

I think the last meeting I could make was Bill's.

I think if Borneman does do Green Bay we will have more flow over from the FVRC. I know a group from Minnesota were going to come last time.

Hey Dave,

If they did go with something like a north division of WRS, I'd def. be interested. I'm guessing others would be too, but I can only speak for myself. Right now, our club has only had 2 meetings and we're just getting to know each other and swap frags.

I'm already in Madison 4-6 times a month as I have season tickets to Badger basketball and hockey. Getting down for the meetings is hard to fit into my schedule.

If anything ever comes of the north/south division, let us know. I would think others would be interested.

Shnikered up? Now you've got my attention

Bringing in Borneman would be great! I'd def. attend any of the speakers coming in. Hopefully something can be worked out.

daddavis1, mako56...

We are trying to keep the "club" informal. There is no signing up or anything official.

The March Meeting is in the works to be held at Coral Boy Farms in Kewaunee. No dates set in stone yet.

 

[daddavis1]

I have National Guard Drill dates that may keep me from attending depending on when the meetings are scheduled. I would be willing to host a meeting in April. Will let you know the dates later.

 

[Aquabucket]

Digger,

Would you host the meeting at your place or at the nursing home?

I was told you donated those 92's ~ that's a pretty nice thing you are doing there!

Do you have any pics?

Glad to see you on RC,
~Spike
