October Meeting
« on: September 20, 2007, 09:35:18 »
The moment we've all been waiting for......

October 5, 2007 at 6:00pm at my house in Huber Heights.

I realize people will be getting off work, so don't feel bad if you can't make it right at 6:00pm. 

I plan to do a cookout, so please let me know if you would like to bring anything or if you're vegetarian. 

Please PM me to RSVP the number of people in your party and what you would like to bring.  I will reply with directions to my house.

Thanks!
Nikki

WEEEEE!!!  Well, speaking of which, I have no problem with anyone legal bringing adult beverages if they so chose (and don't drink & drive, etc.)

This meeting is only 10 days away.  Since this is the first time a club meeting has been scheduled on a Friday evening, I need everyone to post if they are or are not planning on attending.  It is being held in the Huber Heights area this time.  Nikki has no problem changing the date if it does not work for the masses so lets have a show of hands.  Remember, you do not have to be a club member to attend.

Thanks,
Scott

ps- I plan on being there  :D

Unfortunately weekends are NEVER good for me.  So I won't be able to make it.  I would also wonder about a Friday night with any high school football fans. Just a thought.

Of course the little ones are welcome!  Unfortunately though, we are kid-free, so you may want to bring some toys for them...our house is pretty boring otherwise.  We do have a big backyard for them to run around in. 

I have a puppy, so if anyone is allergic, please let me know.  If children will be running around, I'll keep her in her kennel since she can be more hyper than what kids appreciate. 

So far I have:
Verper
Slicktrax
The JustCoral Family

Anyone else?  I really don't mind changing the date if there's a better time.  We just thought we would try something different.

Please PM me to RSVP the number in your group and what you would like to bring (if anything).  I will reply back with directions to my place.  I plan to have a cookout, since this may be the last chance to grill before bad weather hits.   ::)

THANKS!!!
Nikki

Oh, and I'll be baking some kind of desert.  (No Cici's this time!)

I'm sorry to say that I will not be able to attend. I am scheduled to work at the shop Friday, the earliest I will get out of there is about 8:30pm.

In my absence, I'll put together a little door prize to be raffled off.

I'll try to attend the next one...Joel

Bleh, I can't host Wednesday nights b/c I have a design class at school...no way I can skip that one!  I can do evenings on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. 

Until Scott says otherwise, the meeting is still on for Friday, October 5, 2007 at 6pm at my house in Huber Heights.

Evenings during the week are best for me. Tuesday would be my first pick but I could do a Monday or Wednesday as well.

Oh, apparently, Will got on here on my name, saw this thread, and saw my post saying "Unfortunately, we are kid free"...  Well, he misinterpreted it, and about had a heart attack, so I am posting this for his sanity.

Thankfully, we do not have kids.  However, it is unfortunate for anyone BRINGING kids since we will not have a house full of toys.

There...maybe he won't go crazy on me.   :D

Thanks for hosting Nikki!  The buffet line was great.  :laugh:  Once again, everyone that attended walked away with something from the raffle.  Thanks to Scott Wilson of JustCoral for donating 2 tubes of his frag glue and thanks again to Joel from Aquariums Etc for the Ocean Nutrition items.

Next up:
November meeting at Aquavista's house.

Really, great food, and I hope you found something to do with the rest of the cake.  And I love the tank, and hope mine looks that nice in a few months!
