All are welcome Membership is only $2 a month it would be $16 for the rest of the year. You could always become a full member at the meeting.

Kris Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I can't believe I might miss this one again (flame)(cussing)(censored):mad:? I just agreed to drive a friends daughter and her friends around for prom on the 19th. Well maybe I can make it down for like an hour. But I know that that will probably not be enough time to really check out the setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burningbaal Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I'm super bummed too, I just realized that this is on the same weekend as a high schooler men's retreat that's been on the schedule since october...we had to cancel it last year (My first spring helping lead the group), so I thnk the guys would be pretty angry if I skipped 'the meat retreat' just to "go stare at some fish"...I'll be eating lots of meat instead of hanging out with you guys...kinda bittersweet, but definitely bummed I'll mess the meeting1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burningbaal Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 membership gets you access to member's only forums (and classifieds) on the site, a discount at many LFS's, access to some raffles...I know I forgetting stuff too and yes, it's very reasonably priced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can bring some fold-up chairs for yourself it would help, I only have so many, LOL There will be a "FREE TABLE" for supplies (or whatever) that people wish to donate to others (please go through your storage and bring anything you think might benefit another fellow reefer), I have some great stuff that I am no longer using already going on the table.

oxx155 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Forgot to mention that I have cleaned out my photography studio behind my house and will turn it into a movie room for the children. Probably will put on Nemo. Its carpeted so the kids can sit on the floor, of if you have a fold up chair for your child go ahead and bring that.
