TANK TOUR

[ratboy]

I'd love to have people over to see my tanks. Im in S. Austin (near the Y in Oak Hill) and have a 90 reef, 45 FOWLR, and a 300 gal rock tank in the garage. Nov 1 sounds good to me. The idea of selling tickets to the tank tour for a MAAST fundraiser is a good idea too. If local fish stores advertized this they could get people interested in reef aquariums (new customer base) and we could do some pre-emptive education.

Set it up Ron.

Are we planning this for the scheduled November meeting? I don't want to plan something else if it is.... This sounds like a wonderful idea! If I were a host, I would be really bummed if I were tied to my house and could not see the other tanks, though!

Informally or not, I've already volunteered to organize this thing, so I guess things move forward from here: We will be shooting for Saturday, November 1st. Unless somehow vetoed by the group, I'll be more than happy to serve as the point of contact for our little Austin area roadshow.

NOW.....Anyone in the Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park area that is interested in becoming a host location, please e-mail me with your name, address, phone number, e-mail information and any ideas/thoughts you might have. I want to get this off of a discussion board and into the planning phase (to avoid getting bogged down with "too many cooks in the kitchen", as it were). The San Antonio folks can learn from our attempt and then do things similarly or differently as individuals see fit. ;)

My e-mail address is: rwilliams26@austin.rr.com
My home phone number is: 512-733-5677
My cell number is: 512-560-0899

I will need to do some coordination with someone in a position of representation for the club, as we'll want to coordinate the solicitation of donations for any drawings or prizes that might be awarded as a result of games or raffles that might be conducted in association with the tour. 8) Anyone in particular that I should speak with regarding this?

I'll post progress reports on the board, along with any deadlines for host addresses, etc...

Thanks. Call or e-mail me if you have any other thoughts on the tour.

I think is excellant and if we plan it the way Tim and RWilliams26 suggest, everyone should get a chance to see everyone else's tank.

Do a different meeting by region I also think is excellent!

Let me know and I'll get some snacks and soda's for those who decide to stop in and see my tanks.
