Colorado Sunburst Group
What: a group of BAR members who pitch in equally to purchase a true lineage CSB anemone, with the intention of spreading the splits first to those who initially pitched in, and then throughout the club.
Why: The CSB anemone price has been driven up really high (as of this post, they're selling for $1200). They are really beautiful, but not affordable / practical at that price for many in this club. We will use this to get this beautiful anemone eventually throughout our club.
Who: We will start off with 6 dedicated participants, who will contribute a certain amount to begin (TBD)
How: One proposed way: we will purchase the initial true lineage CSB, house it in a good tank (most likely @Bruce Spiegelman's nem tank), and distribute the splits to each participant (we can use a random number generator to decide who goes first, and skip that person if she's not ready at that time etc.). Once that's done, we will either DBTC or try to recoup our cost ($200/each) by spreading the splits at lower prices throughout. How exactly to do that, we will have to talk about it. Especially since Bruce will most likely be doing all of the work keeping the nem alive etc.

Todo:
- Discuss the details of how to approach this project and iterate to make it fair
- Determine who wants to participate. I'm guessing with 6 people, we'll contribute about $200 each to purchase the CSB. This is still to be discussed.
- Talk about how to help and contribute to Bruce's nem tank, so it's fair to him for housing it.
- This is NOT for sure, it is NOT sponsored, and it's up to us to work it out and organize. I'm happy to take the lead.
- Everyone must accept the risk of the CSB not making it in the initial tank due to any circumstance
- Iterate more on the format of it all
