Portland Trip

Laura and Jim will be hosting the May meeting this Saturday the 12th and it will be the usual of food, drinks, raffle and fun.
 
Doors will be open at 6:00 pm for social talk and the meeting will start at 7:00.  Parking gets a little tight and the city says you can't park on 4th but there is a parking lot a block away.   Meeting is usually held in the backyard so feel free to bring your favorite lawn chair, weather permitting of course.

If you need address/directions, contact a club member.

Best if you park at Mini Mall (where the spaghetti establishment use to be)
 
You will get to see his new frag tank set up in the making.
 
Hope to see you there!

I will be going to Portland next weekend.  If I have time and it is not too far out of the way, I thought I would stop by a fish store or two.  I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good place to go.  I do not know Portland at all, so it would have to be pretty easy to find.

Thanks

Ron

I looked at Soutas Saltwater site and they are a little steep on pricing for some frags.  I will tell you though that they have some nice specimens!

[The Apprentice]

Wait till you go down there and they tell you the frags are not for sale :twisted:
