September Tampa Reef club Meeting

sweetdreamfiji · 08/28/2006, 06:36 PM

For September we are going to meet at the Florida Aquarium. the meeting will be at 2:00 on Saturday the 9th of September. We will meet at the entrance of the aquarium and see what you can do with a bunch of professionals running your aquairums. They have a big set-up of freshwater that the local aquaculture people sponsered. Everyone will be responsible for paying the entrance fee.

See you there.

Lots of the club members are also members of the aquarium. A few of the times we all went, noone actually had to pay to get in because so many of us were members. Jen and I can get 6 other people in with our membership.

Also, in the past we've done the behind the scenes tour. Might be fun to do again, especially if a lot of people going haven't done it before. If so, we should contact the aquarium in advance with a headcount and they will probably arrange for a dedicated tour for us.

I think it's normally a couple of bucks on top of admission price...last time we did it, I think it was $2 per person (not included in member admission so if you're a member you still have to pay it).

You have to give all of the current members a cool frag

Seriously, just come out to the meetings. There is a membership application and yearly dues ($20 I think? can't remember...half if you join in the later half of the year).
