Hi folks,

I hope you don't mind my intrusion into your forum, but I wanted to bring our neighbors some news on a guest speaker we've arranged in August. All CARS folks should consider themselves invited to our big day next month...

It’s been a hot, sunny summer and it’s about to get a little bit hotter and brighter! The Boston Reefers Society is excited to announce that we will be hosting Bright Ideas: Lighting for the Reef Aquarium, a lighting symposium sponsored by Inland Reef to be held in Nashua, NH on August 23, 2003.
The symposium features keynote speaker Sanjay Joshi and guest speaker Tullio Dell Aquila.

We will be raffling and auctioning drygoods along with frags from Dr. Mac and Sons Corals to raise funds for MACNA XVI, which the BRS will host in September 2004.
In addition, we have also sent out invitations to lighting manufacturers in the hopes to have vendors exhibit their products at the event.

There will also be a post-event BBQ hosted by our sponsor Inland Reef. A grand re-opening of Inland Reef’s new store will follow the BBQ.

We hope you will join us for this special occasion. All attendees must reserve their seat by RSVPing at www.bostonreefers.org. We would like to give special thanks to Inland Reef for their support of this event.

Hey Moe... Don't worry about posting in the CARS forum! I don't think anyone minds, especially considering the topic. :D

Sounds like an awesome event... although I'll be out of town. :(
