| I have been to several frag meeting and it is a mad house. Tons & tons of people who come for a 5.00 frag but never make it to the rest of the meetings or pay their membership fees. My suggestion is this, since you are getting some very nice peices from Walt Smith, could you have the nicer corals available for members only??? Seperate tables that only members can shop at?? Who knows, this might be a great way to get people to pay their membership dues.... |

Connie- that is a superb idea in my mind. I'll throw to the presidency. I'll bet we could at least take our two "best" corals and make them members only. However I think you are underestimating our number of members. Keep in mind we have sold 180 memberships but will only have 120 people at the meeting.

| Speaking of which, can I get a membership card at the meeting? I paid my dues online, so I'm not sure how I'll get it. |

I like that idea Connie, a serperate table! I guess Adam will make you go to the $5.00 frag table. Maybe you can show him your membership card at the door. We will check it for forgery!  ------------- WMAS is da place! Save the Banggai's! Tooele,Ut. |

People who pay their dues at the frag meeting should get some "special" frags. I hate to say it but the comment to have only member frags makes non-members (at least me ) change their mind about comming to the meetings. I took 12 hours off of work to finaly get to come to a meeting and now I dont know. I want to come to learn not just get great deals on stuff. After I pay for gas and my membership $65 +20 I probably wont have any money left to buy frags.I wanted to come to support the cclub. Is it not a fund raiser ?? ------------- 125 gallon reef ASM G1-X 2-250 watt XM 10k's 220 watt vho actinic Scott Lund---Evanston,Wyoming 1-307-783-5926 cell 1-307-677-0183 |

Like Adam said, I don't think member only frags would make a difference. Nearly everyone who comes is a member or pays for membership. Frag prices for members are half the price on the bag so if someone is going to buy a few frags they are better off paying their membership fee and getting the frags for a better deal. |

It's true... I think anyone who goes to the meeting, and buys anything will
end up becoming a member to take advantage of the savings. I became a member at the last Fragment Festival. |

Although I don't see reason to turn down membership money, so what the heck send a check to Mark whenever you want. Adam ------------- Come to a meeting, they�re fun! |

Since I've never been to one of these Frag Fest's, what kind of corals are there going to be? About how much are the frags going to go for? I'm just wondering so I know how much $$$ to bring.

| For what it is worth, 1) I joined to support what I have already received from the message board; 2) I am really looking forward to the fragfest - it may well be the one meeting I schedule my travel around to make sure I can/will be there; 3) I think it ois a great idea to have "members only" deals or better yet a discount for members-say 20%; and last - for anybody who drives all the way from Evanston to the meeting - I'll put up $20 for your first frag. |

Frags general start at $5.00 for members (non-member has historically paid double, this will probably remain the same). Some rare frags go for more. ------------- Jake Pehrson Murray http://coralplanet.com" rel="nofollow - coralplanet.com http://utahbeeranch.com" rel="nofollow - :) |

Does Spanish Fork Count for what? Coming to the meeting? We'd love to see you. We have members come from Logan and even further north than that. Sounds like one of our Evanston friends will be coming too.
Bugzme, we're not ignoring you. As soon as we know, you'll know. If we get a chance we'll post pics, but it looks like some of them may not arrive until the day of. |

Hey guys and gals, Sorry for my last post about the members only table. I am planning to come down to the meeting and pay for a membership so my point on that was just B.S..... Thanks for the offer for $20.00 towards some frags but that is not why I posted that I wont have any cash to spend....But thank you. I also am in need of some more macro. Is there anybody that has some extra that they can bring ? I would like to get some grape and some of the feather or blade (sorry I dont know scientific names) Anyways you all take care ,I am going to go find some sheep Later Scott ------------- 125 gallon reef ASM G1-X 2-250 watt XM 10k's 220 watt vho actinic Scott Lund---Evanston,Wyoming 1-307-783-5926 cell 1-307-677-0183 |
