Free Stuff! Mcmac 2007

[LucyB]

Actually, Rick borrowed my computer and responded under my name, but he did a pretty good job, so I'll forgive him.

Ticket sales are going up and the pile of donations for the raffle and silent auction keep growing. We'll try and post a picture of some of the goodies once we get some of the boxes unpacked.

See you all soon!

Wow, this is so exciting to see this all coming together and the strong foundation we have behind this hobby. It's great support like this that makes getting into the hobby worth it. Amazing, how much raffle items that will be up for the lucky ones. I'm hoping to come home with the nano tank so I'm definately not going to be shy about increasing my chances by buying plenty of raffle tickets. See you all there!

Gina,
Keep your eye peeled, maybe someone close to you will carpool with ya.
Barbie from Aquarium Solutions usually comes. Maybe you can put a bug in her ear. She is a really nice person. I will keep an eye out for ya.

I just checked with the Clarion and the rooms are going fast. There are 10 rooms left but only 3 are held until the 15th. The $79 rate is still good, normal rate is $105.

If you are thinking about going, better get your room reserved ASAP

About how many folks you got right Rico? I imagine parking by your house on Friday is gonna be a real treat, how far are you from the Clarion?

 

[Rico]

Charlie,

We are about 1.5 miles from the Clarion. So far I looks like there are about 90 people that are signed up.

Rico

 

[CarlaW]

That's walkable, isn't it?

 

[Rico]

It is, depending on how deep you get in the brown ones

We will take care of you Charlie.

Well, If I walk, I can't carry that much.

If you try and reserve a room at the Clarion, please make sure to mention the Mid-Columbia Marine Aquarium Conference and if they say they are full, mention the "Fish Club". We have a block of rooms reserved until the 15th, but there was some confusion on the name.
