[LiquidShaneo]

Fellow Reefkeepers:

On behalf of Reefs.org and #reefs I would like to invite you to our latest #reefs chat on IRC. This Sunday, October 6th, at 8 PM EST, Mike King will be giving a presenting on #reefs about his continued work with C.O.R.L., the Coalition of Reef Lovers.

Mike's Biography:

Mike currently possesses a B.S. in Environmental Science and a B.S. in Environmental Health. He also recieved minors in Chemistry, Biology, and is two classes short of a B.S. in Geology. Mike has owned two retail stores- Enclosed Ecosystems from 1982-1988, and The Coral Reef Tropical Fish (The Coral Reef or TCR) from 1994-2002. He started the Coalition of Reef Lovers (CORL) in 1999. C.O.R.L. (501-c3 pending) was formed to give anyone who cares about the world's coral reefs a way to directly and indirectly contribute to the protection and sustainable use of the world's coral reefs. Please refer to his website for additional information: http://www.corl.org/

At the conclusion of Mike's talk, a door prize will be awarded. This week's door prize has been donated by Inland Reef ( http://www.inlandreef.net/ ). The door prize is a two book set and is a $70.00 value!
