August 18th (Sunday) meeting at Atlantis Aquarium (Riverhead)

[Corpus Callosum]

On Sunday, August 18th (2002) we will have one of our first get togethers. Location will be the Atlantis Aquarium in Riverhead. The facility's hours of operation are 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. When the aquarium closes, Joe Yaiullo (Curator and Co-Founder of the aquarium) will be able to give us a short tour of the place.

At 5:45 PM everyone will meet in front of the one and only 20,000 gallon reef tank for the tour. If you live nearby the aquarium and/or don't feel like seeing the entire place over again, if you come between 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM, you will be able to get in for free. Anyone coming before 5 ocklock will have to pay admission fees. They do have a Cafe'/snackbar (costs money) or I guess you should be able to bring your own food.

Yes it will be for me too, which is why I'm going to be going early and checking out the entire aquarium before we meet at closing time (to make it worth the ride). If you can't make it that's ok, you're not the only one :D .

[billsreef]

Keeping my fingers crossed that the "day job" will actually let me out on a Sunday, or at least a couple of hours early ;)

BTW Mike, I'm going to copy your post to the main forum and make it a sticky when I get home from work tonight ;)

[Corpus Callosum]

thanks.

If you would like to come between 5:00-6:00 and get in for free (as mentioned in the above post), Joe Yaiullo said to go to the members entrance and tell them you are from the "Long Island Reefer's Association" and you should be able to get in for free. Joe will also give the list of everyone's names at the front desk as well (email the above email so I can put your name on the list if you are coming).
