May Meeting

[DABruecker]

Just wanted to put my "feelers" out there and see if anyone would be interested in having our May meeting at Just Pets in Appleton, WI. Craig Weborg the owner has offered his facility to us. He would offer special pricing to our group during the meeting and would also like to take a poll of which stock items we would like to see more of. He is a friend of mine and just made the suggestion. Any ideas?

Ask him if he would kindly scrape the 1.99 off the live brine shrimp. I bought some last weekend after the meeting, the young lady there charged me 2.99 - :(

I bought 5 portions, almost chocked when I was over 15$.


Jason

[DABruecker]

Two things...I don't "work" for Craig, I just know him. Also, did you mention the error to the clerk? I know that the reef club gets special pricing.

[nellie54914]

I would be open to a meeting there. It's not a big deal to me since I live so close, but not sure how others would feel who'd have to drive farther about a 6pm Sunday evening meeting. That's the time it would have to be, right?

[jmkarcz]

Argued, "Politely"

I would never accuse you of working for him

Don't worry about it. I was in a grumpy mood -

I had prepared a lengthy answer to the original question in this space, but deleted it because I cound not edit it to make it read and sound polite. It wasn't my feelings from the previous message either, and I just plain old don't want to be rude.

No. I will be unable to attend. Thank you for askin. I typed that with a smile on my face, and sincerely politely mean it.

I hope many will attend.

Jason

[DABruecker]

I am sorry to hear that Jason. I did not take your comments as being rude or not polite. Besides I am merely taking a "poll" if you will because I would like to host a meeting, but my home is way to small for over 5 people. (ha ha) I just thought this would be a fun opportunity for me to do so. Thus Craig would not be hosting the meeting, I would. He would just simply be lending me the space. Thanks for your response.

Sounds good. I haven't seen Craig's new place yet. What does he have for livestock?

[DABruecker]

He has been trying to get in a bigger assortment of items. Since he moved he added more saltwater and reef tanks to his system. He is also now carrying dry goods. He told me that he his will to meet/beat all other pricing. He has been getting some different things. He has special ordered many differnt things for me.

[DABruecker]

Craig is willing to close down a little early to accomidate an appropriate time.

[Limpit]

Depending on what day the meeting would be I would attend. Sounds like a cool idea having the meeting there.

[DABruecker]

I was hoping to schedule the meeting for May 14th (my b-day) at 4:00 pm. Any other suggestions are welcome.

[iceman5]

sounds ok to me

[John@JP]

What time are the usual Meetings?

[John@JP]

Brine shrimp have been 2.99 since they started carrying them, I don't know why they would be marked otherwise...

[DABruecker]

No John actually you are wrong...Craig agreed to match all pricing and Pet Supplies Plus is selling Brine for $1.99/portion....however, this issue was already taken care of with Craig. I am suprised he did not tell you about yesterday when you were at work. PS are meeting times vary..This one will be Sunday May 14 at 4:00 pm.

[John@JP]

Thats really funny... I bought some brine shrimp after my shift and I was charged 299.

[DABruecker]

Double check with Craig...but the reef club does recieve a discount...besides I believe he changed it in December of last year.

[Aquabucket]

I'd be interested in attending.

If he is going to be price matching he is going to need to have some assorted (SPS, LPS, & softies) coral frags starting at $12.99.

14th does not work for me (Mothers Day).
Sunday before or after the 14th works though.

[nellie54914]

We would not be able to make it on Mother's day either, family committments.

[DABruecker]

Opps! I am so sorry, I didn't realize that was Mother's Day. (I feel insensitive) Oh, well how does the following weekend of the 21st work?


Denise

[Limpit]

21st works for me.
Is it still going to be at Just Pets?

[DABruecker]

Yes, the location will still be Just Pets @ 4:00 pm.

[jmkarcz]

Sorry. Still out.

Jason

[Limpit]

This thread needed a bump I think!
Put myself and Ellen down as attending.

DA-B, do you know if Craig will be getting in some special stock for us? If he can get Green Slimer colonies in I would for sure be interested in one.

[mako56]

Workin for another meeting I will make one sooner or later.

[DABruecker]

I know Craig was planning on being fully stock before the meeting. I will check on the green slime.


Denise

[BryanJ]

[John@JP]

We just got in a pretty big coral shipment. Some nice fish too.

[kass03]

I know when Z28 posted the meetings he had it on a sticky thread so it stayed at the top.
I'm not sure if we can all do this or if only aquabucket (spike) can.
It would be nice.

I will prolly go to the meeting.

[nellie54914]

I will start a new thread so it's not so confusing, and have it stickied.

Limpit--FYI Just Pets moved, it's on Richmond St now, not Northland anymore.

[BryanJ]

Where on Richmond?

[nellie54914]

new meeting thread is now up and stickied:

Appologies to everyone for posting the bogus information, guess Mapquest isn't all it's cracked up to be.
