Is there a Salt Aquarium Society in Calgary? I'll start one...

Glenn and I are still working on the website.
I've started looking at t-shirts, hats, golf shirts, towels etc.

Any ideas where we want to get them? I know a good place for silkscreening and embroidery but I'm not really familiar with clothes suppliers. We could get cheap stuff or we could get nice stuff. Organic cottons vs made in china etc.

I'll ask around if any of our sponsors want to put a logo on them as well, then maybe they can help with the costs

Here's a better quality logo I drew up. The outer black box with the wavyness can be changed easily.

Comments please!

Calgary Aquarium Society doesn't cut it (too few reefers).

It's not that we don't want you or don't care.

It's kind of a vicious circle: there aren't many reefers... so other reefers don't come... so we have no reefers...

Obviously you're out there. We'd love to expand the SW and reef aspects of the Society. All we need is a couple people who care enough to take the lead.

Anyone interested in doing the program presentation at the next meeting???

To be honest I don't think it's a bad thing that the existing society doesn't have a huge SW following. To me SW and FW are disparate enough that it really would be a headache trying to keep everyone happy. The different categories of FW alone actually have got to be a challenge.

To me it's a no brainer, there should be two societies but closely affiliated. Sort of like how in the plant world, there's the Calgary Horticultural Society and then things like Foothills Orchid Society or whatever. Each has their own meetings but one is like a "parent" to the other. People have to be members of both though, membership in one doesn't include full membership in another.

So I think a reef society could learn a lot from the folks at CAS.

Just my $0.02.
