Lol. I was about to say. You always have a conflict.

AquamanE · 04/18/2016, 04:19 PM

Tables are now open to non-commercial members. Contact fragswap@fmas1955.org if interested in a half table.

It's $50 or $25 + a donation to your table of $25. It's a lot of fun sharing your stuff with other members.

Lol. You're telling me! It's been incredibly frustrating!

I sent a calendar invite to my wife and she says "Are you inviting me to a frag swap?" I was like, "No, I'm letting you know that you cannot and should not count on me for anything that day!" lol

I didnt see it posted anywhere that tables for non-commercial vendors weren't open yet. I already paid the 25.00 for the table, but how do we do the 25.00 for the donation to our table? Will someone just write up a paper with our info on it?

Something like that Rene. Well go into it there. A certificate to your table would be fine.

You paid when? Sorry I just took over Dr. T. While he is busy....

EDIT: sorry, Lacy. Just reviewed the floor plan again. I see you there.

DRThompson · 04/29/2016, 10:10 AM

So bad lol

Reeferz412 · 04/29/2016, 10:59 AM

So for non commercial the guidelines are no more than 50 frags, and you must pay $25 plus a $25 donation to enter if you have your own water and materials? I am contemplating to join this swap.
