So it's going to be Chuck in his draws doing a puppet show about the dangers of allelophathy? Hehe, just kidden. Anyway, I personally enjoy structured meetings with a some open time at the end. A speaker or a presentation then some sort of open ended event (frags swap, demonstartion, BBQ) at the end. I find that way I can hopefully get some good little nugget of reefknowledge and then meet a few new people afterwards. Though I'm never opposed to a good pupet show

I like a structured meeting with beer being at the top of the list. Then something to do with equipment (it doesn't matter what kind). Also cool frags that I don't have (I can drive 800 miles in a weekend for a couple)

Regards,
Kevin
PS: I will try to make this one unless it's over 100F

Wow, I am gone for one day and look at the replies. I am looking at getting a place to do this. The wheels are spinning down here. My son had surgery yesterday. My pc is down at home. I think I talked Mojos ear off. I and Yellotang, Rico, and some great people on here are putting our best effort to do this.
Rico and I work at the same place we are checking into possibly getting a auditorium. We have to see if a Saltwater/Reef meeting is able to use this facility. That means Chuck will have to be good! I have to admit someone giving a speach in his flame throwing undies would attract attention. That blows my fake nose and glasses in the weeds.

Make sure that sucker has got air conditioning!!!!

 

[Ed Hahn]

Ok, I just got a Big OK. I can have a place reserved for the 14th of August that will host 285 people. We can not serve alcohol in the place reserved. It is a Auditorium. It will be air conditioned. Its like renting a movie Theater. I am working on getting our club to taxi people to river for more fun afterwards. That is the latest. I am still digging to get this going.
OK, one big one down and lots more to go!

Man, am I excited!
Ed

 

[CarlaW]

Ok Ed
That August 14 date is a solid? It is sounding good to me. Anything special gonna be goin on, besides Chuck in his shorts?
God, I don't wanna miss this

 

[kevinpo]

Hey Ed,
Does it have AV capabilities in case someone wants to do a Powerpoint presentation or video?

Kevin

 

[Ed Hahn]

Hello Kevin,
I am pretty sure it does.

 

[Ed Hahn]

Hey Charlie,
I heard Chuck in his shorts brings out the Babes! You saw Nikki perk up and want to go. This may work out if we can all put our heads together!

 

[Ed Hahn]

Hey Chuck,
we will just make it easy on ya...everyone will just show up in their undies...(Bait put me up to this).

 

[NaH2O]

You saw Nikki perk up and want to go.

LOL, Ed!!!

everyone will just show up in their undies

I'd probably scare the speaker away!! Chuck, I promise to wear clothing.

Yikeees

I have ton's of sps corals but can only make it the following week. Me and a few reefers are doing a rafting trip the weekend of the 14th.

Hope it is changeable.

Salsaking!

[MtnDewMan]

Trust me, if I was the speaker in the undies, everyone would run ... :lol:

 

[Ed Hahn]

This will work if all can communicate. I am asking the members of each club to communicate in hopes of organizing this. I better reword this. You do not have to belong to a club. We just want to pre plan to make this work. A nominee from each area would definitely help. We have a Auditorium now that can host 285 people. We have the capibilities to run a video, power point, A podium for someone to speak. We have air conditioning. I am asking any vendor if they possibly would like to make a lottery of something to attract more people. The possibility of a coral auction was talked about. We have a few boats and a Jet Ski now. We have a river and land to relax. We have offers from people to deliver people. Come on Guys,
Lets Rock the Boat a little. Let see what can happen? I am anxiously awaiting replies. I love what I have seen and heard so far. Lets not get discouraged. I am looking for that Kevin Costner Tape.......Whats it Called?

 

[mojoreef]

Well after spending a weekend in a hell hole called Yakima I swore I wouldnt ever go back to that area (something about 110F heat and big guys doesnt go well) but Ed I am in and will offer to take anyone I can fit in the truck. Also I have managed to located a few boxes of cherry picked acros to bring along for auction or raffle to help the club cover the cost of the meeting

[Ed Hahn]

Whoa, Mike YOU The Man! Now we have two really cool things pulling for a Super Meeting in The Paciific Northwest! The Date is August 14th, 2004. The place where the Meeting is scheduled is Richland, Washington at the Battelle Auditorium. I am communicating with Motels and others to get this boat Rocking!

Thanks Mike,

[NaH2O]

[Ed Hahn]

Nikki,
We are across the River from Pasco. The Tri-Cities consist of Pasco, Richland and Kennewick. I live in Kennewick. Spokane is a 2 hour drive away. If you make it to Washington. I will do my best to get you here and back from Airport.


Sincerely
Ed
