I just wanted everyone to know that I have given my resignation as President of PNWMAS. I appreciate all of the new friends and contacts that I have made during this short time. I hope you will choose to stay in contact with me. Here is my personal email address for those of you who choose to remain in contact. kevinmcfish@q.com I know that there are a lot of you who have wonderful ideas to share with the group and I hope that you will continue to do so. Kris Waters will now be President of the club and will be appointing a new Vice President to assist her thru the remainder of the term. Kevin

Thank you Curtis that sounds great, please keep me posted. You have my #. I would like to learn about this and meet more people in your area. Thanks Kevin

Please keep me posted an I wil try and drive down, this should be cool. I don't know much about this, but I am very willing to watcha and learn. Can we get a time to do a DIY rock project in Eugene

Thank you Dennis for your opinion on the middle, a central area. I believe that support should be there for southern people. This will not be easy, and many may view this as an attemp to single one or the other out, or to pull away from Statuesque. Thank you for your support with rallying all together in a central area. Kevin

Thank you Steve, I will load them before I burn the DVD. I think that you have done a wonderful job with your tank. Oneday, I will dream of having a tank like that. I just will need to really get studying when the weather changes as I am going to have much more time here real soon. Thank you again Kevin

Thank you Joel, I agree.

I have never been to one, looking forward to meeting our gang and being able to put a face to all of this screen names. Hey, I hope to see you there ! ! ! Kevin

Hey Sontdo, I would like to come to one in your area, this is for you guy's to setup in your area. I will come and visit each one as I can. You Guy's Rock, please get involved in this, it will only bring the club closer together and build a stronger networking bases. Thank you for your interest, please save me a seat, because I will be up their one time. Kevin

WOW, that is a beautiful tank, I would like to borrow the right to use some of these photos for the DVD that I have put together to promote what our club is doing with their tanks. This is not a DVD that is for sale. If I could have your permission before it is to late I will include it and then burn the DVD for use at the Northwest Coral Farmers Market Event on Saturday. Thanks again and I hope to see you there, I still have your cooler to return to you. If not I would like to get it to you on my way home. Kevin

Can we pull the plug on this thread ? I am getting the idea that more harm then good is coming of this. I will not have our sponsor's read this and not understand what ever the meaning of this is. I do not want to do it, but this thread will be closed it there is any futher post on this thread. I believe that a mod may do something about this, and it not I will attenpt to remove it myself. Thank you for your understanding, and please support our sponsor's, we would have very little without them. Kevin

NEXT MEET and GREAT IS A DIY I would like to thank all of you that are working very hard to put a Meet and Greet together in your own areas. I felt like the club needed to find a way to rally people together and to get to know one another better. When I joined the club back in February, I came up with the idea of a Meet and Greet. I understand that monthly meeting were very hard for some, and even harder on sponsors to attend. A Meet and Greet is nothing more then people getting together to meet people that you would not otherwise meet for whatever reason. I have been able to meet people in Salem, Albany, Corvallis and Eugene that I never would have met without trying this. There are many places that a Meet and Greet can take place. And furthermore, you can even do a DIY project at one at someone’s home or a park. It can even be as simple as meeting at a coffee bar or restaurant, even families with kids can meet if you can find a place that has a kid’s area. Have fun with this and be sure to post photos of your Meet and Greet in your area. Thank you again for your support in this. Kevin

I would like to look into parks for next year as well. It is the understanding of many that a central location is preferred, and this is exactly what I am willing to work very hard for this term. I will not be President next year, therefore, I would like to plan to bring the club to a common understanding that participation depends on a few factors, one being location, location, location. This is the promise that I have made, and I intend to fulfill for this my term in office as club President. We could easily have 100-150 people or more attend any function that we offer like our BBQ, or special guest speaking event, if we would just decide to do central location. We are missing the opportunity to meet face –to-face with great people that we have never met, or have not seen in months. Plus, this would give the club the opportunity to promote our events and bring new people into the club, or new people into the hobby. We will do this as a club this term; and we will promote PNWMAS as a club that is reaching out to involve everyone in a central location for the growth of this club. Thank you for your understanding Kevin

First Meet and Greet was a huge hit. This was a great time, and it was awesome to meet people that I would not have been able to meet otherwise. Was are planning another one very soon, and we would like you to attend. We hope to see you there.

Hi Joel, Is there anything that you need from up here before I come down in the near future> Thanks Kevin
