JManrow Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Our Guest Speaker for our June Meeting will be Scott Fellman, a much-in-demand speaker at IMAC and MACNA Conferences and Marine Aquarium Societies! He has had several articles published in Freshwater and Marine Aquarium magazine, Anthony Calfo's “C Journal” , and several other online venues Scott Fellman will be giving two presentations... "Aquascaping For The Aesthetically Challenged", and "Marine Biotope Aquariums: Taking Inspirations From Nature".

JManrow Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 There is normally a small fee for non-members attending Events with guest speakers. That is how most other clubs do it too! This Event will be open to all free of charge! This is a good example of our Membership and Sponsor Fees and Donations at work. We are asking ALL PNWMAS Paid Members and ALL PNWMAS Forum Members (non-members) to attend if at all possible. We understand some cannot attend because of work or prior commitments. This is one of our Big PNWMAS Annual Events. Our Sponsors and even some members are donating some great items. Any time we have a low turnout, we ALL lose.(sad) I want to point out that the majority of what we have paid for bringing in our guest speaker, his accommodations and meals, and the rental of the meeting facility, is recovered when you buy raffle tickets and participate in the auction. We all need to be there, especially when it is free to all as it is this time. Show up, and bring friends along. We should have posters available for printing online soon. I have sent .pdf files of Fliers, and some actual Fliers about the Scott Fellman Event, and also PNWMAS Fliers to all of our Sponsor LFS(Local Fish Stores). Please help get the word out! Scott Fellman is looking forward to his visit and giving his presentations. He has done his best to keep the expenses of transportation and his stay down for us. We are very fortunate to have a speaker such as him visiting PNWMAS. Let's not waste any more time complaining about charges and costs for now, and make this work! I have just sent out another Evite about this. Please respond that you will be attending! Some may feel that I was wrong in not charging a small fee for non-members this time. I hope I am not sorry.(laugh) Let's not all be sorry by not attending. Remember - the more Raffle Tickets you buy, the better your chances of winning are!(rock2)I have been updating the Donation Page as items arrive and I pick them up! Check it out. http://www.pnwmas.org/forums/showthread.php?t=12034 __________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsoz Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I may be late as well. My son is marching with the band in the rose festival grand floral parade. It should be over before noon, but getting out of downtown will be a mess. But the forcast says it will be a nice day for a parade. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theJenchild Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Is there any interest in some cinnamon palys? whole bunch of them, like 10+ polyps? I think them alot, but I just would rather put something more colorful in my limited real estate. Got these from Garrett when he broke down his tanks. I'll check this thread in the morning and bring them if anyone might be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePremiumAquarium Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I guess I am talking to anyone that wants to bring a couple of frags to trade. My frags will be a mystery as I have not yet gone over to the tanks to see what I will bag up but I am sure that thye will be decent specimens. Stylaster, I would love a frag of each and will bring some things that you might be interested in. Garrett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Dunno, really. I suspect it might be but can't say for sure. The original colony came from Reefhut (and I *think* he got it from Izzypop) if that helps with the ID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
