Meeting places needed

[SDMAS]

Hey guys, as part of the effort to get meetings going again, we want to start off having them at reefers homes again. This was always very popular! With that being said, we need your help! Below I have listed the dates of the meetings. If you are interested in hosting a meeting, please send us a PM with the date you'd like.

THANKS!!!!

How long are the meetings? How many usually attend? Are there donations required (say if there's food and drinks provided)?

Meetings typically last 2-3 hours. Probably closer to 2. Attendance varies. We've had as few as 5 and as many at 60-75. Meetings at homes usually draw smaller crowds. The club usually provides drinks. It's up to you if you want to provide anything else. No donation is required to attend meetings and you don't have to be a member to attend. Raffle tickets are $1 for members and $2 for non members.

Just a suggestion but what about a banquet room at a restaurant or a classroom/lecture hall at Birch Aquarium?

A few big Cichlid organizations have meetings at a Round Table Pizza. Works out as win/win for both organizations.

Also I know there are a few stores that offered to host meetings in the past.
Just my two cents.

We've done that in the past but we've seen a demand for home meetings again. The local fish stores will still get meetings. If you take a look at the schedule, we are skipping every other month. We will have a meeting at a reefers home one month then an SDR SDMAS event at an LFS the following month.

Nice! This should be fun... I like the events, and getting a chance to meet with everyone face to face.

Can we volunteer someone else's home... because we want to go see their tank?


...seriously though - I don't have a tank in my house, but I have another idea - PM sent

[specvjeff]

Sure, just make sure they are ok with it first

Unfortunately, since they are all Wednesday evenings, I can not hold a meeting at my house due to kids and bedtimes. But, I'm looking forward to going to someone elses house.

I am down to have people over to see what I have built and maybe swap some frags.

I would be willing to open my house for meeting. I have a fair amount space and this just might actually get me off my butt and become a member. :-)

I believe since you are a sdreefs premium member, you are also an sdmas member.
