I like January parties personally.......there is SO much to do in December, especially if you have to travel somewhere like we do (6+ hours one way). I feel like the pressure of Christmas is over in January /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

 

Just want to make some things clear first. (Active members) one's that pays for member ship and has helped behind the scene's and help new and old in the salt world from water changes to coral problems paid membership or not.

Or paid members that have been doing alot of the work at this time and making this a great club. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/plain.gif

That is the nature of all clubs Been there done that,

 

I don't like the term (active) never have. Now are we talking payed members (active) or non payed members that we should also invite and welcome

 

Typically, the Christmas party has been a (paying) member event, at least in the past, because the club usually buys the bulk of the food for the Christmas party. Sort of a perk for paying members.........I was under the belief that non-paying members are welcome to attend one club event without being a paying member to check things out to see if they want to join.

 

First I'm not taking it personally and I am a pay member and I am sorry if I hurt anybodys feeling But I think this is a chance to get none paying members and not (active)/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/shocked.gif involved as much as possible and help them out. And if you want to keep calling my name out that is fine I am a big boy Andy-David

 

Yep I think we are on right page Rod. I edited it to just say names and location so it didn't confuse anyone else. Sorry Man.

Anyway I was just wanting to get a head count on who is in our Regoin thats all.



That cool?



Thanks everyone

Now just put your Name and locations. lol

 

I should have said so I didn't confuse anyone else.

 

Sorry, I can't make either of those dates, both due to Rotary events way out of town. I'm missing the group of you, but can't help it. Cripes, we're scheduled for sleeping bags at a camp in January. GAH!!!

 

I voted for the Jan. date, but I think I'm good for either (that could be a choice too, I guess).

Kyle and I were throwing around some ideas about getting new folks involved in the club. I like the idea of folks being able to come to one event. It might be cool if we have a "Beginners Group" or something of the sort. We could partner with a local shop and do a "How to Start a SWT" event or something. We could have similar events once a month centered around beginner isses, like "how to not let your nitrates get crazy out of control." /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/ermm.gif

We could partner with local schools and do something similar or something just straight educational. I know my daughter's elementary would love a tank tour or to just have someone come in and talk about reefing.

I have many more ideas and this is not the venue for the discussion, perhaps. Suffice it to say that this kind of stuff it a big part of what I do day-to-day and if the club had a...PR/Events Coordinator position...that'd be something I'd be interested in doing. Mayb ethere is such a position and I don't know about it. If we were proactive in engaging the public I think we'd see some pretty awesome results.
