Thanks DVRC Members!

[MinibowMatt]

I would like to announce the new name of the newest Philly area reef club, the:
Delaware Valley Reef Club
Thank you to Mary who laid out a great spread and was a vaery gracious host.

Thank you to all the members who showed up, and keep a lookout for our new RC forum.

[Stixbaraca]

Thanks a million Mary for opening up your house and thanks for the Chaeto! I had a great time placing some faces with the names I see on a daily basis!

[jgatmaitan]

Great meeting guys. I see a lot of energy in this group and great turnout. And thanks Mary for hosting.

[crazy4salt]

Mary thank you for hosting and for the chaeto.

Great turnout, it was nice to meet everyone, look forward to seeing you all at the next meeting.

[Jay4Robin]

Thanks Mary!!!
I had a blast. :D I look foward to getting together soon with everyone.

[Demeter]

Nice to meet everyone and put some faces with the names. Mary, thanks again for hosting this meeting, the chaeto, and the info. Great turnout!

[rotleybutii]

Thanks Mary and nice meet everyone. I can't believe I missed out on chaeto, maybe next time.

[ezfelker]

Thanks Mary. Great meeting!

[FishTri]

Hey Mary, thanks for stepping up to be the club photographer!

[Stixbaraca]

Did we get a final head count for the meeting?

[krikor]

No but it was around 20.

[reef 'n ale]

Yes, thanks Mary!

It was a great success!

Someone has to count the heads in the group photo! ;)

Rob

[Stixbaraca]

+1 of course for the young lady who didn't want to be in the picture!

[reef 'n ale]

Boooooo for the young lady that didn't want to be in the picture...

And the Eagles...

Rob

[Demeter]

So much for Andy Reid being undefeated after a bye week...

[Mache62]

I think this is going to be a great club. Let's keep up the mometum here and do some really fun stuff!

The group photo turned out well. Thanks goes out to Bryan Busza'a wife who actually snapped the pic.

Thanks Rob for the snails!

There is plenty more cheato......

..so much for McNabb never losing to da bears!

[Gordonious]

Damn that sucks the Eagles lost. I missed the whole game.

Thanks again Mary for the chaeto, hosting, and the food. You have a beautiful home and a very nice tank. Nice seeing you again.

Angel, aquanut6, thanks for the angel and helping me with those tanks. Hope the xenia and zoanthid frags work out for you. Also I hope that butterfly comes around for you, it looked really cool. I forgot about that superman, will have to get it from you next month if you still have it. Thanks again for your help.

Ezra, ezfelker, thanks for the cap and the snails. They both look awesome. If you ever lose the mother colony I'll send you back a frag. You've also got first dibs on any of my frags when they are ready.

Rob, reef 'n ale, thanks for bringing me that coupon. Send me a PM and let me know when you might be available for me to swing by. We've got to get your computer up and running again so I can see this reef keeper working.

[jasert39]

sounds like a great time, sorry i missed it.

[mkbtank]

Me too! Happy that it turned out well though..

[BryanBusza]

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the snails. Self Sustaining clean up members are alright by me.

Yay, for the woman who took the picture!! She let me drill down to my basement.

As for the Eagles, it was probably best that this happened. Losing is the only way change will come about. They are just too weak on so many fronts and Andy seem stuborn.

Uh Hem..

The time is yours...



BTW had a nice time.

Bry

[jgatmaitan]

sounds like a great time, sorry i missed it.

Yeah, it was a great time. A lot got accomplished in 1 day.

... and I learn what red bugs look like. Thanks to Tom(fraggin) for the education. Now I know what to look for after seeing them :eek:

[ribs]

Good stuff today. Great crew. Nice prospects for this newly formed club - and it's hitting the ground running for sure. The casual environment of the 2 meetings already held are a real plus IMO.
Conrats to the new officers - alot is in your hands during this early stage - you all will be setting the stage.
Hearing everyones' intro helped to put real people behind the online names.
I recommend other area reefers check this club out. It's a happening thing.

Where are the pics???????????

The bye week was two weeks ago and they beat the jets last week so technically he still is undefeated after the bye. Just wanted to let you know that.

Any hoo good job on the new club hope it really goes well.

I am so annoyed I missed the meeting...damn migraines...I wasn't back in the land of the living until the sun went down. I owe everyone brownies and cookies!

My house is also available for a meeting. I am in Collegeville a couple miles off 422 (I think I live near Stixbaraca).

Also, I need some Chaeto, does anyone have any they are looking to get rid of?

as for dr. mac, business may be really slow for him at that time of the year so he'll probably be very happy for the business from us if we go...

[krikor]

I can probably have one at my house as long as weather is permitting... i have a small house but a nice big back patio.

[MinibowMatt]

Maybe we can do an Xmas get together at a local bar or "establishment"?

[scubadoo2]

Does PARC have a new website yet?

Maryland is cool
I am a go for Dec

an sounds like a good Idea Matt meet at a bar for a little parting is a good idea
annual Holiday event in the making!!
Is there a bar in the area with a kick *** Reef displaY
I know that one the bar's on Delaware Ave just north of the Ben Franklin bridge on the waterfront had a cool display but it has been a little bit since I was there.
plus that is more a summer area to hang.

[krikor]

Ha ha, i try not to pick my bars based on fishtanks.

[vincewon]
