DFWMAS Meetings
Is there anyway you could change the days DFWMAS meets? Wednesdays are HORRIBLE for me as I work....The weekends would be nice
 Any chance of this happening? I would love to join

Hey NewMariner,
We do have some meetings that do not fall on Wednesdays. Last year we had four if I recall correctly that were on the weekends. Unfortunately we can't please everyone, but we try and hold the big or unusual meetings on the weekends so that we can get as many folks to attend as possible. For everyone that doesn't like it being held on one day, there will be someone that doesn't like it on another. What can you do? Don't let a few meetings stop you from joining. The more the merrier!

I understand that you cant please all the people all the time..
I just dont understand the point of paying for a membership if I cant go to all the meetings The only ones I would be able to go to are the ones on the weekends...and how often are those?

"The only ones I would be able to go to are the ones on the weekends...and how often are those?"
Like I said in my other post, we did it 4 times last year. "I just dont understand the point of paying for a membership if I cant go to all the meetings" I would say our December meeting alone was well worth the $15 a year membership fee. We had a Saturday night Holiday Social with a catered meal, a Richard Harker Presentation at the Fort Worth Botanical Garden Center. Everyone who attended recieved a free ticket to win one of two $100 gift certificates from Jeff's Exotic Fish. You are invited to come (no charge) to a meeting anytime you can and meet everyone. We will be glad to have you. It's a lot of fun, and I hope we see you there! Brad

I went to a meeting about a year ago...and I thought membership was 50 bux a year??? Am I wrong?
Another thing, how many "younger" reefers are there in DFWMAS? The meeting I went to was up in Plano? I believe, she had a great 300g predator tank. It was great to see but felt out of place because most of the attendants had a good 20-30 years of age on me... I have no real problem with this...as I like to learn from the more "experienced", however, I just feel that I have more in common with people around my age(23) then I do with someone whos 53(my parents age

Only $15.
We have members in their teens, twenties thirties and of course the old farts like me. I think we need more young folks too. If you join we'll have one more  The one thing we all have in common is our love of marine aquariums.ttyl, Brad

How come nobody wants to build there own dang sump? Grin
Actually, I should just open up a club shop with Brad, and be the sump builder. If I could make a living at it, I'd quit stripping at night!

Tony, There are several younger (20's-30's) members active in DFWMAS. OTOH, since you've met me before, maybe I'm one of those "older ones" too... Man that's a depressing thought... As Brad said, it's $15. I spent the first couple of years only making 2-3 meetings a year. But I still feel I got my $15 worth. I bet most people break even after their first raffle score! If you don't make money there, you definitely will in meeting like minded hobbyists, whom you can trade with. I hate to sound like Martha Stewart...but it's a good thing!

we are not all as ancient as some of the members. Im 23 also, and even though I feel 35 at times, I can still hang with the younguns. Dont be afraid to come up and talk to members, even if they are old and grizzled like Brad :P
