Burlington, Iowa Regional Group Interest

My name is Chlora Beiner and I am in the process of trying to get a Burlington, Iowa Regional Group started. Since we are on the state border, Illinois residents are welcome too. I have posted on 27 different Facebook saltwater groups and have started compiling a list of names of people who are interested which so far comes to 11. Please if you are interested, leave a comment here so we can show that the interest is there for a group in this area to be started. We would have monthly meetings/get-togethers and whatever our regional group would like to do along with the BOD approval if needed for any other activities. I am a new member myself by joining in Nov. right before the frag fest.

 

Thank you for posting. are you the one I talked to on FB? that way I can put your screen name with your FB name, lol.

 

Sponge,


Thank you for posting the info.

 

xroads,


Thank you. I really hope I can get enough members. I t would be nice to have a local regional group. I know I am lucky to be able to have easier access to the other regions only due to family in those regions but not everyone can have the time to travel back and forth to meetings in one day.


I do feel I have a good start with interest from posting in the Facebook groups that I am in. Hopefully they will actually join.

Sorry for the lack of response but have been extremely busy with the holidays. I just wanted to say if you know of any one that is in the Burlington, Iowa area including Illinois residents that are close, please try to get them to post here or join the club and then post here for help to get this region going. I will be hosting a meeting at my home on Sat., Jan. 25, 2014 at 1:00 pm so we can get more of a game plan going for getting new members, monthly meeting dates and possible meeting locations and any thing else that you may want to discuss. I will have snacks and beverages served. Please feel free to bring friends even if they are not members that may consider joining.

 

I just noticed that I forgot to add my home address to the post for the meeting, lol. My home address is
115 S. Mary St.
Stronghurst, Illinois

And my home phone number is 309-924-1474. (Please leave message if no answer and I will call back.).

If you would like to post this in the Facebook groups that is fine with me. Help spread the word.

 

Sparticus, I got your PM and sent him a Facebook message. Sorry about the late response but it wasn't sent to my regular e-mail as usual. I haven't heard from anyone as of yet who will make it to the meeting. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/sad.gif I will be posting in the Facebook groups every week for it up until the meeting. I also have sent PM's to who I have personally contacted or who has contacted me through there too. I hope they get them by checking their "other folder", lol. I have requested them as friends, too.

 

Yankieman, hope you can make it to the meeting. Ii am really hoping we can get a regional group going.

 

Joe, I enjoyed talking to you too. Looking forward to meeting you at the meeting on the 25th. Can't wait to see your tank some day. I am so addicted to this hobby that I should be starting a "Reefahilics Anonymous" group instead, lol. I am sure there are a few of us out there, lol.
