A little update and recap from the "staff". We've received a lot of feedback after the event. I want to say thanks again for everyone being there. Thank you for your feedback. Your compliments and constructive criticism are well taken. I know it was crowded, and I completely agree that hindsight is always 20-20. We should have booked a venue with more floor space to work with for tanks, clearly. We owe the crowded conditions to the great support from the local community and we can't thank you enough. We'll adjust next year. Please just promise to come pack the space again.
We also had some good suggestions on easy improvements. Cheapo name tags would have been great to show off out forum "handles". I wish we would have had them because we generally only know each other by online names. All of these are going into a document I'm putting together to hand off to the next BOD so they can continue building on the event on not make the mistakes we did. Hopefully, the aspects you enjoyed will also be recreated.

PSAS Newsletter
We had a good response on the monthly newsletter we're trying to compile that we added to at the Swap. It's a document we send out every month that we'd like to see grow. We want to include new on PSAS events, but also any specials events stores are running, and ALL hobby related events not affiliated with the PSAS. Got a pig roast/ frag swap you'd like to see advertised? Let us know. We don't want it to be all about the PSAS. We'd like to see all the local clubs or just groups of individuals networked together and talking.
We just sent out a test message because we added almost 80 new contacts to the list. These were all transcribed from hand-written forms. That means that I couldn't read everyone's writing, and not all those that wished to be added to the list were. I've seen 10 kicked back so far. I'm sorry I couldn't read the handwriting. I blame old age. 32 is old right? If you're one of those people that expect to receive the newsletter but didn't get the test message. PM me your email and I'll copy your address over. The digital copy of your email should be harder for me to mess up.
