[tstone]

Diane
Just moving to the area and would love to attend. I am actually staying in Brooksville with a friend.

[dmbedard]

Looking forward to having a GREAT meeting. What part of Brooksville are you staying in?

[tstone]

I am over on Barnett rd. Right now i am in Sudbury MA but will be back down there by the first of the month. I just got back up here last night.
Spent 3 weeks there looking at housing. I love the area.

[tstone]

Should i bring something? Food, drink?

[dmbedard]

If you want you can, but I will probably have finger foods or soup and iced tea, coffee, water for everyone. It is beautiful here... don't tell anyone. We're trying to keep the word to ourselves so it doesn't end up like Tampa : )

[tstone]

Yeah definitely don't let it get like Tampa. Way to crowded. In the short run I'll be in Brooksville and then move to Ocala.

[adnup]

Steve

[BankerJohn]

Diane, You and Dennis have a wonderfully beautiful home. I love the view from the living room out over the deck. I know why you bought it!

I appreciate the hospitality. Your tank is GREAT!

Banker John

[dmbedard]

Thanks to everyone who came and contributed. I had a wonderful time and appreciate the tank donations! Thanks for the compiments on the tank. It is getting to its "happy place" again. You guys are welcome to visit anytime. I have coffee at 8 on the deck almost daily. The birds are great entertainment!

Diane

[bklinefelter]

Thanks to everyone who made me feel welcome at the meeting. I went home after words and started working on my tank. Can't wait to get it up and running. Thanks again, Brian

[gatorolsen]

Diane,
Thanks for the great hospitality - your tank looks great - what great colors you have in your corals and fish

enjoyed the tour of your house also - I really loved the metal fish and lampwork - tell your husband the fans looked great as well

Brian,
It was nice meeting you - good luck with the new tank(s), now do not forget the rule - if you do not sell that extra tank soon you will find an excuse to keep it, that is how they keep multiplying - you upgrade and never get rid of the old tank

Hope everyone found something to take home in all the goodies left over from making rock at BankerJohn's - no fear I don't mind storing whatever is left in my garage - just bring it to the next meeting and I will pick it up.

Keri

[bklinefelter]

Keri,
If I don't sell the tank I will have to sleep in it. It was great meeting you all and I can't wait to be able to host a meeting and get the advice on my tank. Can't wait till the next meeting.

Brian

[adnup]

Yeah you'll be taking a "dirty nap" in it.......Brian

Thanks for your hospitality Diane......your tank and home are beautiful..

[reefrubble]
