East Coast TRT picnic May 20th

OK, I know you have all heard the rumors, so here is the official announcement. I will be hosting a get together on the East Coast in the Sartanburg, SC area for TRT at the Walnut Grove Seaquarium (my house) on May 20th from 3:30 PM until dark, at which time there will be an awesome fireworks display! I will be supplying a pig and some BBQ, along with some veggie alternatives, including fixin's and iced tea. It will be BYOB if you want a beer with your bbq.


There will be 2 long shallow tanks set up for frags if folks want to swap frags: one for softies and one with milbimycin set up for stony corals. There will also be a tupperware tank for a sand swap for those of you that want to participate (sand samples will be dumpped together, and you can take some home if you contribute at the end of the evening). I will have bags, extra ASW, and sealing bands for specimen bagging. If you know that you have flatworms, please do not bring specimens or sand.

In order for me to supply enough for everyone that shows, I will require that you RSVP to TRTreefpicnic@aol.com for information INCLUDING a Mapquest map of how to get to the picnic and a list of hotels NO LATER THAN MAY 18TH AT MIDNIGHT, plus some more general info about the picnic. You can bring kids if you like, but please, no very small children, as it is primarily an adult gathering, and I'd prefer not to deal with crying babies (sorry, no offense to those with very small children).


There will be no cost to members of TRT or local reef clubs and their families, this is my gift to TRT and the reefers of the boards as a token of my esteem for them. There will be a tip bucket if you'd care to help defray the expenses, but this is TOTALLY voluntary, I do not want cost of the meal to keep folks away, traveling gas espense will be bad enough.

REMEMBER, if you do not RSVP with an email to TRTreefpicnic@aol.com including how many folks will be coming in your party, I cannot promise you that you will be fed.

I am looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible on Saturday May 20th as possible!

Tom I have some icky stuff in my life right now but will get to the rest of these.

Man oh man I am missing a party, but moving out of this house for reasons on many levels has to take priority.

That is awesome!!!

I will start a post of the folks that will be there as well in this thread, I will start here with the rsvp folks that have sent email to the addy listed above and update it as needed here in this thread. I will be posting links tomorrow for the forums for the clubs in the region as well, especially for the folks in Atlanta.
