I tried callin ya today to tell all. [img]smile.gif[/img] you weren't home..

It was awesome. Won some Golden Pearls as part of the raffles. As well as a sampler of all the various sizes of golden pearls. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Blue Sierra is quite the store. Saw some nice fish and a couple of staghorns I'd have killed for. ;) The prizes available for the raffles were awesome. Icecap MH ballast, Mariners tickets, accomodations at a resort in Mexico, Eclipe tanks, a skimmer, auto top off with a reed style switch, hang on refugium, DT's Goden pearls, Kent stuff. all kinds.

I'll be going back on the 18th of May for the tank tour for sure.

If I do go I get an honorary membership to the PSAS. :D

Thanks to Paul for letting me drop by. Can't wait to see all the gang again.

Gonna come this time? ;)

Those were RAFFLE prizes? :eek: That's unreal. How many members in their society? That's, ah, quite some serious retail value for those prizes!

Sounds like fun Darren. How many members do they have?

As for the next meeting; I'd like to but I'm going to Victoria May 11th so getting a second weekend (in a row nevermind) may be tough to do. I'm coaching my son's lacrosse team and free time is at a minimum for awhile.

Tony,

All the prizes were donated by suppliers, manufacturers and such. The club didn't spend one cent. They did sell over $700 in raffle tickets tho. Plus membership dues taken in that night.

Was an interesting evening in that respect. Lots to see and learn.
