Larger Raffles items will be raffled off at a later date after Discussion.

Beau is hosting the January Meeting this coming Saturday the 14th at 6PM.  It will be BYOB as well as a snack to share and raffle items are always welcome.  It has been requested that there be “NO SHOES” on the carpet due to it being a whitish color.

He doesn’t have a tank to view but we will have plenty to discuss in hopes that it will get the NEW YEAR off to a good start.  The annual membership fees are due, so now would be a good time to get them in to our Treasurer Stacey Hahn.   Fees are $20 per individual or $25 per family

Attendance was low at the election meeting in November and no votes were taken at December’s meeting so we have decided to take votes for anyone that didn’t get the opportunity in November and will be attending this meeting.  
We will add the votes to November’s ballots and the announcement will be made during the meeting so we can go forward.
NOMINATIONS:
President:  Jim & Nacho
V. President: Ed, Bo & Daniel Leigey
Treasurer: Stacey
Secretary: Carmen & Angie

Let’s hope the New Year brings new members, returning members and new ideas.  The club is always willing to take suggestions to get the most out of the hobby we all enjoy.

Please PM Nate C. by clicking here for directions if you are not a club member.  

Club members can click here to go to the club member only forum to get directions.

Hope to see you all there!

What is the date and time for the February meeting please?
Thanks

[Nate C.]

Ed,

I thought this was going to be just the announcement for the raffle?  Wasn't the plan to announce the raffle, start selling the tickets, then have the ACTUAL raffle be in June?

Please contact me so we can correct the posting.

[Nate C.]

What is the date and time for the February meeting please?
Thanks

Watch for a post/e-mail from Nacheetah in the near future.  She'll be sending out the info, and we'll try to get Paul to update the website with a link on the front page as well.

[Ed]

after further discussion this raffle will be put on at a later date. 

Another Item was added as of today from a person wanting to be a sponsor and give the Club a  15% discount. 

That item is a Julian Sprung book.

[Nate C.]

Just some further info on the plan -

We are going to present the items for the secondary raffle this month.  Everything that Ed has listed will be included in this raffle.  The idea being, you buy tickets, and then you put the stub of as many of the tickets you buy as you want in the collection can for each raffle item.  We plan to allow tickets to be bought over a couple month period - just in case people don't see this post, and come to the meeting, see the stuff and don't have money to get tickets for it.

We will discuss how long we want to let this raffle run at the meeting.  Ed is currently taking care of the tank with the pipefish, and has had shoulder surgery recently - so it's pretty hard for him to care for the tank.

Hey Ed hope the shoulder is doing better, Could you post some pictures of the pipe fish?
Thanks... Jeff

Jeff,
   This is what pair looks like.  They are about 3 inches long.  

The tank is a 20 gallon Tall.  I have a Current PC light with two bulbs and moon lights, one powerhead in tank, a heater inclosed in PVC to shielding. A over the back filter filter, air pump  with undergravel which is a big no, no because of air splash.    I have some of Ricks Turtle grass, a little bit of Chaeto probably from you Jeff,  One piece of Tonga Rock with several branches picked By Kevin P for this.
A little sand on the bottom, lots of pods.   Tank comes with cast iron stand and a one gallon tank for raising brine.
