Hi Everyone,
The clubs regular meetings are held the first Friday of every month and members usually start arrive around 7:30 with the guest speaker around 8:30, usually wrapped up by 10:30.
Rich, Joe is still a member but he?s only been to one or 2 meetings this year.
Holiday Party next weekend is open to everyone, clubs members pay $25 per person and non-members $55; a great deal for a catered dinner with open bar. Plus the one night you?re allowed to pull up a chair and view the tank with your choice of beverage. Kathy is correct in that we don?t usually accept walk ins but you can pay up to an hour before the event.
James is the owner of Acan lighting and a great friend of the club, he graciously opens his office to us every month to hold our meetings. His office tanks currently consist of a 175 bow

Cage dives have been asked about but this is one area the aquarium keeps very tightly controlled, we may have them as a raffle prize at NERAC though.
Family Fun Day is the one event membership has its privileges, for $10 you get admission to the aquarium, lunch, behind the scenes tour of the reef tank and every kids favorite (well adults too) a visit with one of the aquariums penguins.
Hopefully I got to everyone?s question but please feel free to ask if you have any more; if you would like to join sign up is easy and all info is here
