December meeting!

[Thales]

By popular demand, Bay Area Reefers is proud to host a presentation by UC Berkeley's Roy Caldwell - The good, the bad and the beautiful!: stomatopods and octopuses!" Learn the facts about these often misunderstood citizens of the reefing world. After the talk, we will be holding our second annual holiday raffle including corals and dry goods from:

• Reef Nutrition - the winner of the Reef Nutrition donation gets a different RN product a month for a full year! RN is also donating a rotifer starter kit and manual!
• Mermaid Aquarium and BAR are donating a Euro Reef CS 6 - 2 Plus!
• 150 watt MH bell pendant donated by microsoftie
• IC-gel (which will also be available for sale at the meeting)
As well as corals/products from Natural Life Aquarium, New Alameda Aquatics, Wet Pets and more!

This event is open to the public and will be held December 10th 2005 @ 1pm. The location is Aquatic Specialties and Pets in Hayward, a state of the art, ethical, aquatic wholesaler (as always, there are no direct sale from ASAP to club members).

Ugh!? the 10th? oy vey.

 

[Thales]

Second Saturday of the month!
We'll miss you Mike!

 

[GreshamH]

Heh, I just posted a similiar response on RC

2nd sat of the month. You can set your watch by it

 

[sfsuphysics]

Nah, I'll be there Rich. Just remembered a girl friend of mine is having her birthday part up on that side of the bay that night too, much too late for me to hang out for 5 hours in Hayward And I'm dreading two bridge tolls and two trips across the bridge. I'm a deep water too so I can't miss her party

But I'll come for the octopus frag lessons.

 

[jedininja]

octopus fragging, is that the same as sushi slicing lessons?

 

[capescuba]

I smell calamari :twisted:

 

[bareefers]

So Rich how do you frag a cuttle?

 

[GreshamH]

Carefully as not to make it ink

 

[Thales]

So Rich how do you frag a cuttle?

A hot sauce pan, some spicy oil and a nice bread batter. Slurp!

 

[racrumrine]

I noticed that the BAR Home page does not have the dates of the Dec meeting or February Swap.

For prospective members, we might want to post the dates of upcoming meetings and events to the BAR Home Page.

Best of luck,

Roy

 

[capescuba]

Please remember that this is all done on a volunteer basis - we do things as quickly as we can ...

 

[GreshamH]

Your doing an excellent job Dave, especially with all that is happenning in your life right now

 

[Thales]

Thanks for updating the site Dave!

 

[jedininja]

Do we have an estimate on how long this month's meeting will last?

 

[Thales]

I don't think Roy will talk more than an hour, and then however long it takes to do the raffle.

 

[jedininja]

Ok, thats pretty short. I think I can fit it in. Wont be able to make the BOD though.

 

[LordHelmet]

now the wife told me to forget about being at the family christmas party on time and go. Man she's awsome.

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Watch out, it could be a trap!

You know how it is when they say, "No really, it's fine. You can go." :roll:

 

[jedininja]

Yes, my first instinct is that its a trap as well. Good luck!
