[Caryliss]

Yes, payment received. Email me with any requests - I had already thought of giving you a table with best access to a door. Let me know what else we can do for you.

The C-SEA website is a bit behind on updating the vendor list, unfortunately.

[STACKER]

No problem buddy! you know I'm always willing to help!

Carole said she's be updating us soon with vendor details. Now I just need to make up a sign with the club logo... So little time!

[STACKER]

Thx Carole..

Guys, I plan to have everything ready to go by 8:00 here. We can meet for Breakfast either here in town or in Parma. I'll call Paul later today and make plans for that. Anyone else please contact either Paul or myself so we can coordinate this all. Stack 330-719-3530 (cell) Paul 330-856-1996.

[Reefer247]

New vendor added:

Holeinone1972's Tax Relief Fund!

22 hours to go til the swap!

Just a reminder: doors open at noon for swappers. No early setups (sorry). As has been done in the last few swaps we need to give the vendors a chance to set up their displays.

Please note there is a second room available for if (when) the main hall fills up. It is located at the back of the hall. I also believe it is closest to/connects to the bar, where the tv with the basketball game is.

Food is available in an attached restaurant. No alcohol is allowed in the hall however.

See everyone tomorrow:rollface:

[STACKER]

Thankyou Carole, I was great meeting You, Paul, and John... and several hundred other reef-geeks. I think we did OK for first timers in the vending arena. The hall was large enough that even at it's peak the crowd wasn't too packed. I'm looking forward to the next event.

[zeppelin]

I know its early, but mark your calenders. The next semi-annual (11th) All Ohio Frag Swap will be held in Columbus, hosted by CORA, and is scheduled for September 30th. Information, as it becomes available, will be posted on www.corareef.org

Hope to see everyone there. :)

[STACKER]

Thx Larry...
