A few ideas for the meetings:
1) Lets make the meetings where you bring a food dish to pass. This reduces the cost for the host and makes it less stressful.
2) Meetings should be family friendly, but parents should still use extreme caution. Just because you let your kid do it doesn't mean the host does.
3) Also if there is any interest, we could do a frag swap/auction. Just be pre-warned and if you have any bugs/algaes/pest, please notify users when selling/swapping. Also, as a buyer, you should be responsible and remember that the only thing that gets into your tank is what you put in it!
4) Also, maybe some time of time line for the meeting would be nice. IE:
4-415 Talk/mingle
4:15-445: Host talks about tank, answers questions
4:45-5: Eat
5-5:30
iscussion on a pre determine topic (Water Changes, skimming, lighting, corals, fish, etc)
5:30-6:Frag auction/Mingle/hang around..
This is just an idea, please add any if you have some...
