Jeff,

I don't believe its out yet.I did preorder as well. Hopefully soon. I think we'll be surprized by the volume of its content. Did you try to email Anthony at readingtrees ? I'm going to try it and see if I can get approximate date

PS.Just found an update on the site

Rocky,

I wonder if there are more details on this event. I just checked that link for the orca and so far nada. I'm seriuosly thinking of taking a ride to Florida for this one.Gimme the scoop,Rocky

**scubadude** · 06-13-2003, 08:45 AM

Russell,
I will try and call you dude, we need to catch up anyway

Hey Jeff & Gene

Gene, the event is definately gonna happen its just finding out the details that we are ironing out, there is a possibility of the event taking place at Sea World or possibily even the science musuem. I will be working on some other deals this week for it as well (raffles etc). It would be awesome if you could make it down! We are gonna try and put together a tank tour after the meeting so we can go around and see others systems you wont get much sleep thats for sure

***zhenya*** · 06-13-2003, 02:56 PM

Rocky,

Who needs sleep,dude? Man my age slept enough already

The tank tour sounds like a great idea to me,it would be great to finally meet in person,you know

I got to convince my wife that it is a good thing to travel for such events

Kara · 06-17-2003, 02:55 PM

Heya Rocky! *waves*

Missy and I will be driving up from Fort Lauderdale for the event! I hope to see you there!

**scubadude** · 06-24-2003, 01:29 AM

Hey Kara

Missy told me that you 2 are gonna be driving up in her new 350z....geez you two are gonna be fire and brimstone together in that car! Cant wait to see you two, howz yer prop system coming along?

I talked to Anthony Calfo last nite and his new book w/ Bob Fenner is now out and Im taking preorders for the show if anyone is interested in purchasing you can paypal me (rocky@coralfragz.com) $29.95 ONLY if you are gonna be at the show. Here is a picture of the new book.

And a PDF sample chapter

And those that are waiting patiently for the Book of Coral Propagation volume II do not worry Anthony is working diligently on this project but I doubt it will be before the meeting. Also Im accepting orders for Book of Coral propagation volume I for those who still dont have it $22.95. 10% of these proceeds will go to ORCA.

This meeting will be held at UCF (University of Central Florida) union hall

Rocky

I've got mine on Saturday as well.Great book indeed. Could be a hand book for a newbie or the veteran alike

Guess I need to check my mail.
We had Fenner and Calfo at our club meeting last thursday and they brought a case of the new along that the club bought and where both sighning them. Where selling for $30 a piece with all proceds going to the club.
I thought I would be the first in our club to get one and now I am the last

July 26th at the UCF Union

This ORCA meeting will feature a presentation by Anthony Calfo

Directions to the UNION:

Go in the main entrance of UCF and go to the stop light and make a left. You go to the next light and make a right into parking lots. Go to the parking lots by the buildings and park. On the weekend it is free to park everywhere. If you follow the travel through the building (where we will put signs up earlier that day), you can't miss the student union. It is huge.

Doors will open at 5:30 and non-members of Orca or participating clubs, or anyone without an advance ticket will be charged $5.00 at the door. Finger food will be provided at the beginning of the event as well as a frag swap table setup for trades to be made before Anthony speaks. Below is the itinerary for the night.

5:30 to 6:45 - Frag trade, munching, and social time
6:45 Anthony will begin his presentation followed by question and answer time.
After Q&A we will raffle off door prizes and have our frag auction.
This raffle will have more items than those before with donations coming from local and online stores

This should prove to be our most interesting and informing meeting to date. Plus, with coral frags coming from some of the other clubs throughout the state you will have opportunities to trade or bid on corals that are not normally present at our meetings.

***zhenya*** · 07-08-2003, 05:49 PM

Well,after all the planning I was making to attend,looks like I'm heading for Bermuda July 30th via cruiseship from NYC

Couldn't say no to my wife as it is her b-day and her word is FINAL anyway

Not that I mind going to Bermuda for a week,it's the timing that sucks

I hope I can get away sometime in October or so and finally meet you in person,Rocky.
