Lost in confusion...
was the mini conference to forge a peace on the reform agenda and to get the aquarium trade and the NGO trade focused on similar goals.
That was before it got waylaid by the "he said she said" fuss.
Many critical issues get lost at times in the sometimes recreational, sometimes deadly serious malestrom that is Reefs.org.
This "Lebanonization" of the reform movement not only makes it difficult to forge consensus on things, it makes it difficult to consolidate power, unite and make a difference
If MAC, CORL, MASNA, AMDA and [ who else?] is hoping to make a difference, they should be there and we can meet during blocs of the more esoteric presentations .
I'm in.

Mitch,
We really should be training by then and hopefully deep into it. If so, this could end up being a super positive slide show on village training and positive developments.

Who will be there from MAC (besides you as a BOD member?)

Mike,
David Vosseler will be there. MAC Certified retailers and wholesalers will be in attendance as well.
Dizzy, we best start a fund to get Ferdie to MACNA. Seeing that CORL-USA is closing its doors I now must go back to Michigan to get all the equipment and either put it into storage or have it shipped here. This task is going to take almost all of my finances. I was going to stay here and let Ferd go to MACNA but that is now impossable unless CORL-USA gets funding somehow and can maintain its current location.
Sorry but I can't loose another 50K in equipment its bad enough loosing what $$ we had in the building we are located in (about -48k in capital).

Hey Guys,
There will be plenty of good news to report at MACNA in Louisville this year.
The CORL training teams , featuring Ferdie Cruz will have some village trainings on tape to show how its done. To convert this issue into real life and in living color for all to see all we have to do is bring him over to be included in the Reform Conference held in an adjacent hall.
The idea was derailed again due to the recent attention to other events, but the September event will be here before you know it and we have a number of trainings to get done before then.
The original idea was to get all the players in one room, lock the door and unite them to prevent their efforts from being diffused and watered down.
Many Americans will be there but the fish of most concern come from the Philippines. How bout seeing first hand the Philippine perspective from a Filipino trainer?
All in favor?
Sincerely, Steve Robinson
AMDA president
