JT, interesting idea. I am sure the event coordinator will look into it and let you know. I am sure we would need to see what Jeremy has planned and how best to coordinate things. We do have two hours. We will get back to you...

[Kristy]

BUMP BUMP BUMP!

I'm really getting excited about this meeting, which is right around the corner... this coming Sunday, Feb. 28. We have some fantastic door prizes for this meeting. And we are going to kick off the Kryptonite candy cane contest by giving out people's frags at the meeting.

Hope to see you all there!

[REBridges]

This is my first meeting...and i'll be part of the kryptonite contest! Just recently became a charter member, but been hanging around on this site since Oct!

So what kinds of things besides speakers go on at the meetings?

[Big_Pun]

[Europhyllia]

[kkiel02]

We have a speaker, food, door prizes, plus you get to meet people and put a face to the screen name.

[Kristy]

Just to clarify: I think Kevin was answering your question about what sorts of things often go on at some of our meetings, but at this meeting there is not going to be any food.

[danvan75]

can we sign up for charter membership at the meeting?

[Kristy]

Of course! We are happy to accomodate that!

[RayAllen]

will be at this one. Been a while...

[corruption]

Planning on being there as well -- as long as my back doesn't decide to be a punk again. :)

[Kristy]

Time for another BUMP!


but are we going to be able to bring something to frag to practice on or is this just him showing us ???

Spoke with Jeremy today and confirmed that you are welcome to bring your own frag to practice with if you like.

We will have quite a variety of corals to demonstrate and a great selection of door prizes too... Don't forget that March frag swap is right around the corner so we will all need to put our new fragging skills to the test.

Plus you can pick up your candy cane frag to begin the contest!

See you guys Sunday 2:00 - 4:00!

[Kristy]

BUMP!

See you guys today at 2:00!

[justahobby]

Great meeting and thank you to all who were involved. Special Thanks to Kristy for organizing the meeting and Jeremy for being our guest speaker.

[Europhyllia]

Yes great meeting. Thank you very much. Sorry I had to rush out and couldn't stay for clean up but this was the first time I was away from my baby for this long (5 hours!) and I was anxious to get back.

[marcusgonzales210]

I agree this was a great meeting. It was my first meeting to attend and for sure won't be my last. Nice meeting everyone who attended. :)

[HoppyBunny]

Great work guys, the meeting was awesome! I appreciate all of the hard work you guys put in to make events like this such a success! Very informative. I would love to see the video footage since I missed some of the demo. Sorry for the little ones fussy moment!

[Third Coast Tropical]

Kudos to everyone who got this together today...quite a turn out

[jennabee]

We had a good time, Well organized Kristy GREAT JOB!!!
and VERY GOOD presentation Jeremy. Excited about what the future holds for up coming meetings.
Special Thanks to the BOD for being so professional.

[Big_Pun]

i had a good time if anybody ended up with any frags from me feel free to pm me if you have any questions on care, thanks Kristy and BOD for a great meeting

[FireWater]

Sorry I missed this one, too much work to catch up on and my Wife would not understand if I came home with frags of new rods and reels. Sounds like a good time was had by all.

[cowboy572]

Very good meeting, very informative. Surprised bye the turn out.

[RayAllen]

Great meeting, love my door prizes. Already put the plugs and glue to use. :)

[Kristy]

So glad that everyone had a great time. Special thanks to Jeremy, who did a great job and provided a wealth of information. That was a lot of fragging... Jeremy is probably tired this evening!

Also, want to give recognition to the entire events committee: Kevin (kkiel02), Chris (stangchris) and John (firewater) who were all involved in the planning and executing of this meeting. All corals fragged today were donated by the Events committee and members of the Board of Directors, so extra thanks are due there as well. This is our first meeting since the formation of this committee and I think this event showed just a preview of what a good team working together can do.

[justahobby]

Yes that was incredibly generous of everyone that donated. I have checked on my new chalice multiple times tonight. I am anxious to put on my gloves and goggles so I can play surgeon on some ususpecting zoas.

[kkiel02]

I had a great time and wish I could have stayed later but time was not on my side. I look forward to the frag swap and it was great seeing new faces at the meetings. Also the turn out was incredible, the most we've had in awhile I suspect. Although there were quite a few people at corpus too. Anyways I have a great respect for all the time Kristy put into making this successful and would like to thank all who donated corals to be fragged. Oh and a BIG thanks to Jeremy for the presentation.

[Europhyllia]

Yes, very awesome meeting! I can't believe I got the super nice Duncans. They're already swaying in the currents. :) (and I also got some great looking frogspawn from acropoorer and some zoas too!)
You all should have said something and I am sure we all could have pitched in some frags/colonies to donate!
Can't believe stangchris just couldn't leave that gorgeous big toadstool alone...
THANK YOU Kristy, Kevin , Chris, John, Ace and Jeremy for a fantastic first meeting!

[Kristy]

Wow... great photos Eve!

Nice pics Eve.

Thank you to everyone that made this meeting a success. It was nice to see so many people!!! wow!

I felt like I didn't have enough time to talk to everyone....so many people I wanted to say Hi to but just didn't get the chance.....so if you know me and I didn't say Hi, know that I was thinking about it. LOL!

Thanks, Jeremy!

[corruption]

Just a repeat of everyone's sentiments! Glad to meet all those that I met, and glad we finally got to make a meeting! Thanks Jeremy, for providing your time and expertise -- you're not the only one who's nerves are on edge in front of a crowd... at least you were able to get over it! :D You did a great job!

Thanks to Kristy and the events crew -- a great event for the books :)
