We have some fantastic prizes for our charter members this swap and like Cheryl said, tickets are usually $15 a pop for adults and $10 for the frags so if you are coming and would like to help support future events as well as door prizes and our monthly meetings (which each have their own awesome prizes) please do consider chartering up!

i have to agree with this. I haven't been out to many events lately but when I did, I've won and gained knowledge that's well worth the small donation to become a member of a great group. I've saved more on discounts then what I've paid, and that's not counting the reef tester kit, apex, and frags on frags! It's a no brainer!

You can participate in the regular door prizes, but you cannot win one of our four charter member door prizes. The last day to RSVP is Halloween.

http://www.maast.org/showthread.php?84219-LMAR-Charter-Member-Door-Prizes. Not sure the last day to RSVP has been issued?


Alton, this time around there are no raffles for LMAR rather we have two sets of door prizes. The first set can be won by both web and charter members, and consists of items donated to us by the vendors, aquarium manufacturers, and national companies. The second set consists of prizes purchased by MAAST using the funds we get from charter member subscription fees. These are eligible to be won only by MAAST charter members who are present with a photo ID AND their non-expired membership card.

Admission to anyone and their guests who RSVP's by halloween will be free and covered by our agreement with the Aquariums owners. If a charter member fails to RSVP but would like to attend, you may be allowed in with your Photo ID and charter membership card for free, but will have to pay $15/ head for your guests. Web members who do not RSVP before halloween will have to pay $15 for themselves and for each guest. This fee covers a ticket to the aquarium and none of this admission charge goes to MAAST.

Admission will work as follows:

We will have either a small station outside the aquarium or at admissions roughly at 11:00AM. We would then have the list of RSVPS and will mark you off the list and give you a door prize raffle ticket when you enter with your photo ID and direct you to the swap room. If you are a charter member and have your charter membership card, you will recieve one door prize ticket, and a different colored charter member door prize ticket upon entering. The room itself will not open until 12:00PM so we ask that members who have gone through admissions look at the exhibits until 12.

Also, just a bit of clarification, we will not be offering additional tickets for purchase to win prizes at LMAR and winners must be present at the time of the drawing (roughly 5:30) to win.

Zack
Mon, 19th Oct 2015, 10:46 AM
Tickets will be issued to the person who rsvps with one ticket per "group" so if someone rsvpd on Maast for a +2, it would be one ticket for the member who put the RSVP.

Additional decals and coolers will be available for purchase with 100% of the proceeds going towards 2016 meetings! We will also have bags provided by Reef Nutrition with Coral RX for those who want them, while supplies last.

A small update, one non-sponsor commercial vendor cancelled their reservation to the swap due to a crash yesterday. We then asked the first member of our waiting list (who is also a commercial vendor) if they would like a table and they accepted. They then said they would consider the Sponsorship discount and would not like to receive the charter membership nor would they participate in the Charter member door prizes. I then called the other non-sponsor commercial vendor and they said they did not want to win the prizes that were exclusive to the charter members. They also said that they have no problem dropping their charter membership and considering the sponsorship fee.

Long story short:

Door Prizes: Eligible to anyone*
Charter Member Door Prizes: Eligible to only charter members and sponsors*

*except BOD

I'm sure you may be wondering, why should I go to LMAR this Sunday? Well here's a few reasons!

Free Coral RX one shots for everyone and free Reef Nutrition baggies while supplies last!
15 amazing vendors from Texas AND Oklahoma!
A FREE Maast cooler AND Decal for the first 10 charter members who check in at admissions!
$1000 in free prize giveaways from BRS, Marineland, Cobalt Aquatics, Zen Reef, Coral Cove, Alamo Aquatics and many of our generous vendors!
$1000 in Charter Member giveaways featuring an Ecotech Quiet Drive Mp10W, a Gyre XF-130, an Apex Jr with display and an Ecotech Vectra M1!

In addition to all this, the July Coral Grow Out Contest winners will be announced and prizes distributed AND the 2015 Board of Directors will be making a special announcement at the conclusion of the event!

This is a frag swap you won't want to miss! The swap room will open at 12PM on Sunday! Be there or be square!

Also, we will be reopening rsvps until Friday so if you haven't done so yet, please let us know asap if you can make it!

Im assuming most vendors will take credit card but if any are cash only it might be helpful to list that or remind people so they anticipate and bring cash.

Should I be concerned that I RSVP'd for Mike & Kristy a while ago and we are not showing on the list. We are both charter members under those names.

Whew...... 10 hours later and we're done with round one of setups! We can't thank Brandon Skidmore enough for helping us and several of the vendors move their stuff into position. You're the man Brandon!

We can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!

Thank you for a great afternoon and a awesome event, it was a joy to have the opportunity to attend. Having the ability to interact with so many experts, make new friends and learn from each other is what this hobby is about.

I would personally like to thank all the dedicated people that planned this event and worked so hard to make it happen. Great job guys.

Great day and a nice turnout today at LMAR. Well organized event and the site chosen (San Antonio Aquarium) was great. Lots of awesome door prizes and huge variety of corals for every reefer of varying experiences. Looking forward to the next one!
Thank you to all the organizers, vendors and San Antonio Aquarium

Agreed. Great turnout and lots of awesome coral. Only picked up a neon green tip torch and a hammer but they're pretty cool looking. They will be going in my display today or tomorrow. They're in my sis cube right now and looking great.
