Hello San Diego,

The time has come again for another SDMAS meeting and we've got a special treat for you this month!

First, Shells is opening her house to us so we can check out her shiny 180 reef tank. She's got these amazing little green zoos with brown skirts that will make you shield your eyes when you look at them :drool:. This is a family friendly meeting, there is a swing set for the little ones in the back yard, so bring along all the little fragglets and let the addiction for them begin early. And for the rest of us there will be snacks and a pool table if anyone wants to try to beat Ed (barometer).

The topic of discussion for that evening is one I know many of you will enjoy. We will be doing a "how to" on Aquarium Photography. Some of the best photographers in SD will be there to take you and I through the process of capturing that one macro in perfect focus or finally getting a pic of your fish that isn't blurred beyond repair. Bring your cameras and questions for this presentation, you'll learn a lot.

Lastly, we'll FINALLY be raffling off the ReefKeeper 2 (http://www.digitalaquatics.com/m_product_info.php?part_number=30-0005-000) that we had donated to the club from Digital Aquatics at Reef-a-Palooza last fall.

We will be selling tickets ONLINE via Paypal and at the meeting.

RAFFLE DETAILS

Tickets are $5 each for non SDMAS members

For SDMAS members you get 2 TICKETS for the price of one. That's right double the chances to walk away with a ReefKeeper2 for only the cost of one ticket.

ONLINE RAFFLE PURCHASE
You can send your payment via paypal to treasurer@sdmas.com and your email address and screen name and we'll draw tickets for you and write your ticket numbers in an email for you to keep track of.

IN PERSON
Show up to the SDMAS meeting with gobs of cash, throw it at us and get your tickets in return to add to the hopper with the online tickets already waiting.

You do not have to be present at the meeting to win, but if we are not able to contact you within ONE week of the meeting, your prize will go to the runner up ticket pulled. NO EXCEPTIONS

welcome to the board. Monthly meetings are typically get togethers at a members house which we usually have a speaker come and talk about a product or other reef related issue. For example, this month will be photography lessons on how to snap good shots of your fish, corals and inverts. I'm not too familiar with the tropical fish club, I have heard of it but think it's more based towards fish only. Quite a few of our meetings will have raffles for livestock and equipment products which is always a hit. We have a reefkeeper II that is going to be raffled off this month. For livestock and equipment, it's typically just posted in the classified secton on the board or under member livestock for sale.

Again, welcome to the board and hopefully we can get a chance to meet you at our next meeting on the 17th.

:whip: I put my last $40 in that raffle!


Congrats dave... like YOU need another controller from D.A.



I'm just being a sore loser I'm happy for you, you really do deserve it. Congrats and I hope work wasn't to bad on you. You missed a fun meeting.

Thanks to all the new faces that joined us tonight. We don't normally do the stand in a circle "hi my name is" stuff, but there were just so many new friends tonight, we wanted everyone to get to know each other a bit more.

Shelly, THANK YOU SO MUCH for opening up your house to us and providing such a great spread of food and drinks! That was definitely one of the best spreads. And your tank did not disappoint, it is beautiful!

Ed, thank you so much for taking us through the Photography 101 course. You did well sensei. I'm sure most of us will still come to you as we tirelessly click away in front of our tanks for fine tuning.

If you missed it, we announced that there will be no October SDMAS meeting due to RAP. So get your pocket books ready and plan your driving buddies because we've got one long weekend together coming up soon!
