I received the email from Matt about ORCA asking for a donation to offset costs. We got off cheap with Eric coming to town, I think it's time we started cooperating with other clubs and pulling our own weight.

I vote we contribute $100 to ORCA for costs and expenses.

And those that are waiting patiently for the Book of Coral Propagation volume II do not worry Anthony is working diligently on this project but I doubt it will be before the meeting. Also Im accepting orders for Book of Coral propagation volume I for those who still dont have it $22.95. 10% of these proceeds will go to ORCA.

This meeting will be held at UCF (University of Central Florida) union hall

July 26th at the UCF Union a presentation by Anthony Calfo

Directions to the UNION:

Go in the main entrance of UCF and go to the stop light and make a left. You go to the next light and make a right into parking lots. Go to the parking lots by the buildings and park. On the weekend it is free to park everywhere. If you follow the travel through the building (where we will put signs up earlier that day), you can't miss the student union. It is huge.

Doors will open at 5:30 and non-members of Orca or participating clubs, or anyone without an advance ticket will be charged $5.00 at the door. Finger food will be provided at the beginning of the event as well as a frag swap table setup for trades to be made before Anthony speaks. Below is the itinerary for the night.

5:30 to 6:45 - Frag trade, munching, and social time
6:45 Anthony will begin his presentation followed by question and answer time.
After Q&A we will raffle off door prizes and have our frag auction.
This raffle will have more items than those before with donations coming from local and online stores

This should prove to be our most interesting and informing meeting to date. Plus, with coral frags coming from some of the other clubs throughout the state you will have opportunities to trade or bid on corals that are not normally present at our meetings.
