<h2>
Well that's it everyone, the show is over!</h2>


A new CVRC will return in 09, as we enter year 5 we will be seeing some new changes that will grow membership and ensure that everyone remembers the true reason this club was formed.

What did you miss?
</h2>

We welcome our newest member and she easily would have won for farthest distance traveled, (Cayman Islands). we learned a lot about the island and politics concerning corals there.

We also got to see some of the rarest coral I have personally been around that were not my own, (ATL Meteor Shower), Oh wait but now it is mine

We also had the <b>largest food table I have ever seen in CVRC history</b>, of which over half came from one volunteer, amazing work.

We also made several serious decisions as a group, which was great IMO! These decisions will in my opinion help to grow the club both on-line and off line and s Phil has been nominated for the Vice Presidency in an effort to lend me serious input and advice. He will work with me to help pull the CVRC out of the stall it is in.

I chose Phil because of his close proximity, and I have worked with him in the past on group buys etc. He has missed only 1 meeting in CVRC history and only then because his daughter was being born at the time. Even so, he did call and tell us where he was LOL. His loyalty to the club and his determination to help grow it by teaching others and spreading the message lead to this decision.

We will be scaling back our regular swaps (not meetings), We will only have two BIG swaps per year. The online community will continue to grow and we will be assigning CVRC PR duties to members as well as holding member drives to increase the base membership.

Thanks to all that came out.
We will see you soon.

Great choice for VP, if I were there he would have gotten my vote. Gosh I miss everyone , my intentions are always to come to the meets. But, I am so happy to hear that it all went well. I have not gotten my pictures developed yet from my trip, I was so excited when I was snorkeling that I forgot I had a camera Best time I have ever had! I am so blessed. I wish everyone could expierence snorkeling in those waters!

I'm so bummed we missed this one the Halloween swap is always my favorite.
As a testament to global warming for the second year in a row we spent the last weekend of October building the greenhouse.
Actually it's a testament to being too busy to start it sooner.

Ron as always whatever I can do to help down this way let me know.
