Cool Non-Profit Cristmas Frag Exchange

Happy Holidays Everybody! The season of giving is upon us. What better way to share this wonderful holiday then to have a frag swap!

The idea is for everybody to bring 1 frag that they would like someone else to have. It doesn't matter what type of coral, just something thats not xenia! I will be putting in what I was told is pink lemonade! (Anyone that does not feel this is PL will just have to settle for a sweet milli! )

The venue will be on the smaller side because I will be having at my house. I will try to provide a pleasing variety of snacks and beverages for everyone. If you want to bring something to share, it would be appreciated by all, I'm sure.

If anybody wants to bring a few extra frags to do seperate TRADING, that is great. I won't mind a trade or 2 as well.

Now, when to have it. Go ahead and choose above on when you think would work best. Once we narrow it down to a time frame, we can set an exact date.

Thanks,

Dave and Jen

Also, this event will NOT be held on Dec. 15th. Since there is another event planned, I feel it must be held on a different day. Thanks.

Sure. I'm sure there will be others that will want to trade stuff other than sps.

When it happens I'll have a sheet to fill out with what you brought and what you'd like. Feel free to bring a variety. I will try to match everybody up with something they'd like.

If any substitutes are needed, I will offer something of mine that the person may want or can take care of better. Hopefully everyone will get a gift that they like.

skunkmere - You can dress however you wish, just please remember to bring a frag

444Reefkeeper - What if I celebrate Kwanzaa instead of Christmas, can I still participate?

hans- You can be a part of any religion and be welcome at my house! Athiests welcome too. The only qualification is you must be a reefer!

So there is no discrimination, it will now be called, " the Non-Profit Holiday Frag Exchange".

The main focus is the "Holiday Exchange". Any TRADING is fine by me. I would really like to stick with trades. I'm sure if someone lives far away from the next guy, and doesn't have extra frags, I won't freak out if a couple bucks changes hands. There will NOT be anybody setting up camp to sell though.

madadi- Yep. Everybody is playing nice! Isn't it great?

I'm in Crystal Lake. 60014.

Bring what you'd like the more interesting the better!

The frags will probably be classified, depending on how many bring what. For example:
If there are 2 LE and 2 reg., the people that brought LE will end up trading. Doing this will hopefully leave everybody feeling content with what they got.
