ORCA President 2007~2008
Hello Everyone,
This months ORCA meeting will be Saturday, February 24th.
Russell and Rebecca Whitney will be hosting the meeting. Directions are on the ORCA website. Doors open at 6:00p.m. and the meeting will start promptly at 7:30p.m.
Address:
9907 Dean Acre Drive
Orlando, FL 32825
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.ad...ean+Acre+Drive&city=orlando&state=fl&zipcode=
If you have any problems with directions you can email Russell at russell@oceansblend.com or call Russell at (407)748-6741
This month’s presentation will be a “show and tell†about Russell’s main display aquarium and his unique high flow and circulation design.
Shortly following the presentation will be our traditional frag event. Guests are always welcome. Bring your friends and family.
Frag Auction: Anyone bringing frags to the monthly auction please be sure to bring your frags in “store quality†bags. Poor quality baggies (sandwich baggies) leak and make it very difficult to run the frag auction efficiently. Label your frags before coming to the meeting. Write clearly using a Sharpie marker.
Marcye at Sea in the City http://www.seainthecity.net/ has graciously offered to give ORCA members as many bags as they need. Simply stop by Sea in the City and pick them up.
If you have known parasites like Flatworms (planaria) http://www.thesea.org/reef_aquarium/pests/pests_flatworms.php or
Red bug(Tegastes acroporanus) http://reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=45859 in your aquarium please refrain from bringing any frags to the auction. Please respect your fellow hobbyists and only contribute healthy pest free animals.
Membership dues are due for 2007. If you have not done so already, please go to the ORCA Web site and download and complete a membership application. I am including the links to where the applications are located Our membership application can be found at http://www.o-r-c-a.com/images/Application.pdf If you do not have a pdf reader, you can download one here: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/foxitreader/foxitreader.zip Member applications will also be available at our regular scheduled meeting. Please see Melissa (Secretary), Pam (Treasurer) or me to get one. Anything you can do to help minimize the time it takes to get your application completed would be greatly appreciated. So, download the application, fill it out (legibly) and come prepared with a check or cash only.
Also know that our local sponsors are looking to see your “current†ORCA Membership card in order to get your ORCA discounts. The sooner we get your application and fee, the sooner we will get your 2007 membership card sent out.
ORCA is actively seeking members who would be willing to open their homes for a future meeting. Sign up sheets will be available at the meeting also. Please consider hosting a meeting in 2007. This is a great club with great members who would really enjoy seeing your aquarium and observing how you make your hobby successful. It’s also a great way to receive good strong feedback on your Reef and Aquarium system.
The frequency and quality of our meetings ultimately resides with each and every ORCA member. Let’s all work together and make 2007 the best year ORCA has seen yet!
Thanks everyone and see you Saturday,
