March Meeting

[charlie]

I just sent an e-mail out to you all regarding the location of our March Meeting. For all of the folks that really care about the fact that we need some competition in our area, this is going to be a really important meeting. I would hope that we can get as many of us to attend this meeting as is possible.
Please respond to this thread and the e-mail!!!!!!!!

The meeting will be held on the 28th, the time has yet to be determined. Stay tuned!!!!!

Don't worry, I was thinking somewhere around noon or a little after. I will knoe more tomorrow.

[cdearing]

You know I will be there. What great news! I can't wait to see their new digs. I hope we have a great turn out too. You'll have to fill us in on what they have so far after your visit this weekend. Thanks for spearheading the meeting again, Mr. President of the NW MT Reef Club!

[Sarmo]

that will be great to have another choice in the valley. i am excited to learn more. i'm not so sure that this is a great time to start a buisness but let's hope they can make a go of it.

[charlie]

Look at it this way Rob, you will have a different and probably cheaper place to buy your salt now.

I was down at their shop this afternoon, this is a nice building!!!!!! Lot's of room. I took a few pics that I will post later on when I get them processed.
This valley needs and wants another place to shop, I know I don't want to pay $11 a lb. for live rock.

Speaking of meetings, when I talked to John and Melanie today, they told me that 5PM on the 28th would be a fine time to have the meeting. So, let's put that down as the time and place.

March 28th @ 5PM
180 Kelly Rd.
The Fish Corral


Sound Good????

Here's some pics of the beginnings!!!!

#1. Looking left after entrance.
#2. Looking right after entrance.
#3. Saltwater room.
#4. Dry goods room.
#5. Future counter.

Hope you enjoy the progress. I will be taking some more pics, maybe next weekend. I do believe that John told me that they are gonna have the counter built and some shelves installed this week, so I might pop in and take some updates.

Hiya Charlie!! Thought I'd stop in and say Hi. I pointed another RFer towards you and towards this forum. I think he lives in or around Missoula. Hope you hear from him soon!! Glad to hear you guys are getting another shop soon!! We'll have to stop by next time we're over visiting Angie's Dad, in Kalispel!!

[charlie]

Hey sid!!!! Thanx for the referral, we need all the bodies we can get!!!
Yeah, just give me a note the next time you head this way.

Dangit Man! I was looking forward to coming to a meeting and learning something. But alas, I will be out of town on the 28th. Charlie, when do they plan on opening for business? Will be nice to have another choice for sure.

[charlie]

I think that they are looking at the middle of April.

[Ramer]

I wrote it on the Calender, I'll do my best to make it. Sure will be nice to have a good store not to far away

[charlie]

Well I would hope you can make it!!! You know what the penalties are for not showing up at meetings????? You could be elected to some terribly insignificant position where you would be asked to provide all the refreshments for a BBQ or something stupid like that.

Seriously tho, this may be a meeting that you don't want to miss. I myself am pretty darn excited about this new store.

Sean, thanx for coming up last nite, and taking a view of what you are about to dive into.
I will say again that if you need any help, just chime in and ask, we are always around!!!!!

[cdearing]

Charlie,
Will John and Melanie have any tanks set up by the 28th? I need to get rid of some xenia frags.
Should we bring refreshments?
Cyn

[charlie]

They should have some setup, but I don't think they will be taking any frags right then Cyn. I have the same problem. I just fragged that large S. hystrix colony, and I have over 30 frags of it alone. Gonna be a fraggy afternoon.

[Ramer]

I was kinda wondering the same thing, What do they have cycling?? Thought maybe dry goods store for awhile until thighs are established,?? Or maybe im wrong

[charlie]

They have nothing cycling now Brandon. Like I said, I don't think any of the tanks will be ready at all. But I know we can get in and have a look see, and maybe have him explain some stuff to us. It will be nice to have a meeting place!!!!
Bring s picture or 2 of your tank, would you. We will have our own bulletin board there!!!!
