LARK MEETING today...
We only had the opportunity to spend a couple of hours at the meeting-(good thing we left when we did, because the dog was almost out of his cage...and he managed to scratch most of the paint off the bottom of it) but it was great!
Thank you Matt for hosting such a great meeting-and your corals are beautiful!
It was great to get to talk to everyone for a little while! Though we did not get any frags this time, it was really nice getting to see what many of you got from other members. I cannot wait for all of our future get together meetings...as they are always great! Thanks again OTP, and everyone else.
Tamika and Nathan Anderson

WOW, great meeting today! Thank you so much Matt for coordinating such a large turn out. Your store looked great, good food/ drinks, and awesome coral selection. Those ORA corals had unbelievable color and your prices just could not be beaten. Your KENT rep was very helpful and a great asset to your team; be sure to thank him for his time and give away items he provided. I was also impressed by your new display tank and can't wait to see how it turns out. Thank You again for a great afternoon/ evening.

2+ hours for your fish? I was there at 10:30 and didn't get my carnation until 6:30 lol =). Best and worst service I've ever had =) *can't say I really wanted it out of the tank until then anyhow so I'm DEFINATELY just teasing*
On a serious note though... Seriously it was a great meeting... I would like to say thanks to everyone that I bought things from and to everyone that I talked too for some good conversations as well as some ideas for things to try. Thanks to Brian the "Kent" representative for offering up the grab bags and some free advice which is so essential and vital to the growth and longevity of our hobby.
And last and of course OTP for offering up the store for a place for us to host up our meeting. I know it was kind of a mad house for a little while but I for one just wanted you to know that it is really appreciated and thanks for being such an assest to the continuing growth of our club!
Thanks again
Jason

Olde Matt...you rock! Biggest turnout yet, and you had room for everyone! Like everyone else, I was pleased to get to speak to your reps...and for them to see the turnout of LARK and other customers. Even over the four hours I was there I didnt' get a chance to talk with everyone, but it great. Thank you again for offering to host.
