    So lets Take a vote on which date works best for you. I only have a couple weekends that work for me. After talking to @Fence13@Fence13 we have decided to do photography of the reef tank. Then possibly doing a Christmas themed photo contest shortly after.

    We are gonna attempt to record this meeting to and post it to girs.

    So lets vote on which date works best for you @Region: Des Moines & Ames

    I am waiting on confirmation on the location to make sure either of these dates work for him.

    Plus how many people. I personally have no issues with people coming from your area or any area for that matter. But thats if they want to make the drive.

    You're always welcome to come experience the awesomeness of a DSM meeting :) Just bring presents. ;) Our meetings are always open to all GIRS members, but if you want to hold another one in your area for your members who can't attend ours that would work too.

    I figured since there was talk of doing a holiday themed Photo Contest anyways why not use a meeting to help people with it. Then we could use this time to increase participation in both the region and the photo contests :)

    Unfortunately neither of those dates works really well for me - the 5th is the weekend my wife is out of town, and I have a kids' BB game. The 19th is a full-family day (Christmas).

    If anyone wants to record it, they can do this in any format that works. Multiple phones, cameras, camcorders, anything really. As long as that can be transferred to a PC I can open it up in Pinnacle Studio and chop it all together and upload it to the site (there is video upload capability, but it's disabled because it doesn't compress video so the server would get chewed up). Worst case I would put it up on YouTube and it would be publicly available until I figured out how to make it members only.

    Publicly wouldn't be a bad idea it may bring interest in being a member

    Neither really works for us either - we'll be at a wedding the 5th and the 19th is a maybe considering its 3 days before we leave for Florida. So my vote would be the 19th if those are the only dates we have

    I also think we should combine this with the party bus tank tour...just saying

    @stew@stew please see post above about family and fish tanks ;) Hopefully you can come for our DSM Holiday Party (date TBD).

    To everyone reading this, I know the December times are hard because of the holidays and family commitments. We would always appreciate anyone who was able to stop in and say hi, or make an appearance, even if you can't stay the full time.

    One of the topics I've been waiting for, and its on opening weekend of shotgun season.
    I can do 19th, but looks like I'm being out voted for now.So I guess we'll see.

    Sara and I were going to share what we have found that works for photographing tanks, coral, fish. Also open it up to others to share what they like to do or use. Figured then since we'll hopefully be in front of a nice big tank, we can help people take pictures so if there is a problem with lighting, or focus, they can ask a question and get assistance. :)
