I hope everyone is planning on dropping by the Frag Swap that will be taking place on Saturday from 11am-2pm alongside SaltwaterU.
I just wanted to give a final update on what frags will be raffled off, besides the ones we are ALL PLANNING ON BRINGING TO TRADE OR SELL (RIGHT???)
(for that thread, please see:
http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=51235 )
The procedures for the raffle will be as follows:
when you come to the table where we will be taking $5 donations for entry into the frag swap area, you can buy any number of $1 raffle tickets. We will have
two drawings--one at
12:30pm and one at
2:00pm, where we will raffle off roughly the same amount of frags--so you can buy tickets for either--they will be two different colors. You MUST BE PRESENT to redeem your winning ticket, because the frags will be there waiting for you to take them home! (though you may arrange for someone else to present the winning ticket for you if you are at a lecture/workshop at the time of the drawing) We will also have a frag check room, where you can leave your coolers/bags until the end of the day.
If a winning ticket isn't presented during the raffle, we will draw again until all frags are claimed.
As far as getting to choose which of the item(s) you win during the raffle, it will be on a first pick, first choice basis (first matching ticket gets first pick, then we draw again for the next pick, etc., until all items are raffled off. This may mean that a few might end up with frags not appropriate for their tank--if this is the case, you unfortunately either have to give up the item (if you don't want it) to be offered to the next winner, or you are free to claim your prize and try to sell it or trade it (or give it to someone you like!)
If any of this doesn't seem fair, please feel free to offer your alternative suggestions--I'm open to other ideas if there are better ones. all in all, the corals being raffled are undemanding and suitable for a wide range of environments. So without further ado, here's what we have so far:
We don't have a final total of what will be raffled, but here's an idea:
5 frags of Xenia
5 frags of pipe organ coral
3 brown caps with loads of potential
1 brown w/
purple tip digitata
Purple Digi
Purple Zoos
3 green/purple cap
1
white bubble coral
I'll be sending a reminder in everyone's PM box who has agreed to donate frags for the raffle, but if anyone wants to donate something else still, please let me know!!! Thanks so much everyone--I can't wait for a fun and productive frag swap!
