Meet the Flathead Valley Reef Club

[cdearing]

This was my first meeting with the reef club and I was VERY impressed! Everyone is so dedicated to the "art" of reefery (did I make up a word?) and so willing to share information and frags and rock!!! Sorry, we were close to the BBQ so we were getting smoked in this pic! ;) Willis doesn't seem to mind. Thanks so much, Charlie for hosting the gathering. I'm so excited to move forward with my new hobby and to get to know everyone better. My green zoanthids are blossoming in my tank already! Thanks Kyle!
Cheers! Cyn

Hey now....give us "outsiders" a clue as to who is who here and in the pic.

Some of us could only "call in" to the meeting. ;)

Ok man, starting from the back row on the left we have Cynthia, Brandon and Jenn, James and Kyle. In the front row, there is Rob, Willis and yours truly, and Jerry. The pic was taken by Robs better half, Julie. We had to tear her away from the 7 layer dip, it wasn't easy, but we got her done!!!! We were missing a couple of folks. Vaughn showed up about 7:30 after he got off work, and Tim was absent with the flu. Duane was obviously having a good time down somewhere near Missoula, wish he could have made it up.

Thanks Rob. Would love to see your tank! Do I need to bring my snowmobile to get up your driveway or should I wait until May?

Mat, If you send us your mug shot, we could cut and paste you into the group photo.

If he does the job with our website like I think he is gonna do, we can make him our official mascot.
Thanx for the pic Cyn!!!

Sounds and Looks like you all had a great time. Sorry I missed it.

I was actually having a good time riding my snowmobile around looking at a new peice of property to start a new project building yet another small get away.

Looks like there are a few new faces I haven't met yet, GOOD TO SEE and WELCOME

Hopefully next meeting I'll be there.

I just remembered that we had some cards made up about 2 years ago for this club. Can we get some ideas as to what we need to change on this thing to make it presentable for future use?

[charlie]

Sorry Scott, I know 1 thing that will be changed for sure.

Another great meeting . I sure was nice to meet you new folks, Jerry, James and Cynthia . Charlie & Lorie thanks again for hosting.

Everything made it home ok.

Thanks

That's okay Cyn, I don't want to ruin the beautiful shot, including the two lovely ladies, by putting my ugly mug in there! Heck, I think Willis looks better in the shot than I would!

WOOOOHOOOO! Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

[cdearing]

Willis is pretty cute, now that you mention it...

The eye of Willis is upon you:

[SouthBayPhoto]

I meant stinging for ME...not Willis!

Now tell him to quit givin' me the evil eye!

[charlie]

That's his normal look Mat. He scares the living begeesus out of the pizza delivery guys tho. They deserve it, they all think I am growing something illegal downstairs anyways.

[cdearing]

Charlie definitely does not need a door bell!

[SouthBayPhoto]

Maybe I could train some of my new fish to be attack/guard fish or something. LOL

Every time the same pizza delivery girl comes here, she always asks me, "So, when are you going to have something in the tank? I can't wait to see it."
