downhill_biker Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 We had a great time at the Eugene Meet and Greet. Got to meet new people and talk about ideas. The topic of conversation seemed to be Tanks for Teachers, and I think we are starting to get the ball rolling in the right direction for Tanks for Teachers. We are loosely planning several Meet and Greet/DIY activities in the Eugene area and hope that people can make it. We plan to do a DIY rock project and a DIY coral/fish/reef food project before the year is over. I have already made a couple batches of DIY food so that is something that I would be willing to "head up". I also donated a 1 gallon freezer pack of my DIY food to Joel for his Classroom Aquariums. Here is a picture of those that were able to make it this time, and we hope to see more and meet new people in the months to come. From Left to Right: Kevin and His Children Joel My Fiance Cora, and Me in Back Backdrop, my tank, since we met 2 blocks from my house we walked over and did a small tank show after the meeting.

tidalsculpin Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 A huge thanks to downhill for his blender food. It is in deep freeze at my house now. I will be trying it out Monday for my hungry fish and coral in my classroom. Also, thanks to Kevin for coming down. It is really fun. Let's meet and greet again in August!

Kevinmc Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Future Meet and Greet for Lane County will be posted this week. I can maybe do it again in two weeks on Sunday, I will post more on this during this week. The time is not as important as your willingness to show up.
