Higher Thinking Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Just want to make a special announcement about the after-presentation activities: All members are encouraged to bring some frags to swap. This is always pretty fun during meetings and we missed out on it at the last one. (At least theClark came through with some complimentary raffle prizes). Reach out to people, advertise what you're bringing/looking for, and don't forget the coolers. We will also be having some fun raffle prizes. Gift certificates for coral, supplements, and local stores will abound!! That means you better bring some cash. And by some I mean A LOT. :cool: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashy Fins Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Can nonmembers bring frags to swap, also are there certain frags i should bring if so how many and where do we put our frags? Sorry first time going to a event. If you have frags, it's best to post what you have and arrange some trades ahead of time. Most people bring a small cooler to keep everything in, and a few extra ziplock bags wouldn't hurt (leaky bags happen). I can bring an extra styrofoam cooler, if anyone needs one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yourmedic Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 This is my first event! I'm super excited and a little nervous. . .LoL I will be driving down with a friend from Kennewick, WA. If anyone around me wants to car pool down, let me know. Our plan is to leave Kennewick around 6-6:30 that way we can get there early enough to walk around and not have to rush. Looking forward to meeting a ton of people!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
