Happy New Year, BAR!
2012 was a fantastic year. It’s hard to believe that just a little over a year ago, the future of the club was not looking so bright. We are thankful to all the members who stepped up, from those who served on the BOD to everyone who volunteered to help out at the events. Special thanks go out to Dave (houser) for providing his inspirational leadership and direction, and the BOD for their tenacity and drive.
Keep the 2nd Saturday of each month open, because you won't want to miss a single meeting this year! We are currently looking at a very full monthly schedule (thanks gimmito!). While 2013 is still subject to change, here is a sneak preview of what you can expect:
Jan - Potluck & DIY LED Workshop
Feb - Lance Inchinosubto, Topic: Marine Fish Diseases
Mar - Regional Frag Swap
Apr - Gary Parr, Topic: Aquarium Photography
May - Steinhart Backstage Tour
Jun - Craig Bingman, Topic: Reef Chemistry
Jul - Kessil Facility Tour
Aug - Romburg Tiburon Center Tour & BBQ
Sep - Members-Only Frag Swap
Oct - BAP (Breeding and Propagation) Workshop with Todd Gardner & Joe Yaiullo
Nov - Shu Tiny, Topic: Anemone Care and Propagation
Dec - Rich Ross, Topic: Steinhart Aquarium's 212,000 Philippine Reef Tank
There are many other exciting things in the works for 2013. We are grateful to our sponsors for generously providing fantastic hardware, supplies, and corals for our raffles. Not only do we have a full slate of awesome events lined up, there will also be new programs including: a tool lending repository, member-designed science experiments, migration to a new faster forum, and the return of member tank tours and road trips to represent BAR at events. Stay tuned as these developments occur!
BAR is a wonderful supportive community, and it is all made possible through the efforts and contributions of its very own talented and passionate members. If you are able to lend a hand in any way, please don’t hesitate to let the BOD know. Some of the BOD members will also be calling for volunteers to assist with various tasks. Regardless of your experience, we want you to be involved! This is your club, and it is your prerogative to make the club what you want it to be.
Thank you for being a part of BAR. Here is to a great 2013!
