oxx155 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Just thought I would open this up for discussion - What day should the meeting be held on? Time? Do people like fish food, equipment, or frag donations? Do we want the free table again? Should there be a focus of the meeting, or just have a good time like last year and wing it? Just looking for ideas or direction for this years meeting. If you don't want to post negatives, please PM them to me, as I really want to avoid anything people didn't like or caused issues. Otherwise please post it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohaynow Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Doug if the meeting is half as good as it was last year then it will be awesome. As far as suggestions go, sundays work best for me (but I know not for everyone), Frag donations are cool but a little more sensitive to transit than equipment, and the free table was a great way to get rid of some used equipment that I didnt need but others did. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramy Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I like the Idea of a free table for donating used EQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Douglas I don't think you are going to get many negative comments. I thought the meeting was great and the raffles and donations were great. I picked up a lot of things for tanks for teachers last year. It was fun just hanging out. I don't think we need a specific theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquaman30k Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I say keep it the same. It was a blast to hang out and meet new faces and free stuff is always welcomed. As for a theme or agenda, your tank is more then enough to keep me entertained. Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr S Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 My vote is Saturday. That way you can spend Sunday with the family and still have the weekend. Your meeting is always awesome to attend. Oh by the way, I work on Sundays and I know the Eugene boys would miss not having me at the meeting It is my chance to break out the tie dye and I know Franklin misses seeing me.

Well the part I agree with is the Saturday, not sure about the tie dye shirt. Your meeting was great last year Doug. I think your tank is plenty enough entertainment along with a bbq like you had last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxx155 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Saturday or Sunday, either one works for me. Wish I had added a poll to this post to see what the majority prefer, maybe a mod can add it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC Scott Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 The only thing I can say that is negative about last years meeting is. I couldn't go. As soon as the date is set I'm asking for that week off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a few people could help set it up...not saying you have to but maybe we could plan a weekend event sometime In the past before I was a member I have heard that they have done weekend get to togethers at a campsite along the coast. It would be great if we could start something like this back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohaynow Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Not trying to continue the hijack but... South beach in newport is awesome. You can walk up the beach to the aquarium and the rogue brewery. Two of my favorite costal destinations! Maybe a pnwmas camping trip is in order.

oxx155 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Thinking about cleaning out my studio in the back and setting up a projector so kids can hang out and watch Finding Nemo without taking up the living room and making it hard for everyone to see the tank. Sound like a good idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richmckee Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 as someone with nieces and nephews, that sounds like an excellent idea. The kids will find the movie much more interesting than corals.....or maybe that's just my gene pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxx155 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Unless a bunch of people all of a sudden hit Sunday it looks as if we are aiming for Saturday. Now just need to find out which Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
