December Meeting

[boviac]

Greetings,

This is the thread I'd like to conduct discussions for the upcomming December 2007 meeting.

First, this will be mostly a social meeting, with a little business up front, and be followed by a raffle.

Further, we'll be accepting membership to distiguish a person or family as a Chico Reef Club member. The cost is $25/calendar year. As stated earlier:

Yes, for one, the membership fees will cover the printing, lamanating expense of creating your membership cards.

Second, it may go to future events such as: club advertising, raffle equipment (ticket box), social event food/drink, speakers, web page fees, a loan source for hotdog/hamburger feed events, etc. I realize it's not cheap but then again for a year's dues it isn't bad. Afterall, many will spend nearly that much on a single pizza from Round Table. Also, for the most part, I believe that is the average price for membership to other reef clubs.

As I stated at the meeting, members will be allowed to:
1) participate in end of meeting raffles
2) participate in Frag Swaps (incl. other clubs - Except BAR)
3) be able to obtain discounts with LFS (pending)
4) be able to obtain discount of meal with Round Table on mtg night
5) be able to vote in club elections
There are more obviously but those are ones that stand out to me right now.

So after a few discounted meals with the mtg and a few purchases at your LFS with discount, the membership fee will most likely be covered.

Further, we officers decided the memberships will be on a calender year basis. Dues paid in November/December will include the next year. Jan - June of said year is still the same price. July-October will be discounted to $15. This way it allows the officers controlling membership to conduct the bulk of this work at one time.

So please feel free to plan your macro-algae, coral, fish, equipment, etc swaps here. If you would like please feel free to bring some frags to donate to the raffle.

Thanks and please tell a freind and bring them to the meeting.
