December meeting

[TriMax]

Anybody want to come to a December ETRC meeting?

I think I may have a volunteer to host.

Before we start planning, can I get a head count on you can come the 10th (yes or no, please)?

I am thinging probably about 6pm.

LMK please.

I can come since it's at 6. I get off work at that time and can be there by 6:30. It might be the most on time I will ever be since I leave work and head straight over!

If Jake gets to come it would be later because he doesn't get off work until 8.

Ok

We have a host for the meeting. Thanks Dana.

What -- ETRC December meeting -- mostly a Christmas party
When -- December 10th at 6pm - 'til Dana and Richard run you off.
Address -- 9700 Tunbridge Lane, Knoxville TN, 37922. Yep, on the West side. "Tun" not Turn" Seven Oaks Subdivision West entrance.
Food to bring – snack items, dips, chips, fruit, veggies, desserts, (I will bring something for me without cheese, Ha!) :nerd:
I will talk to the BOD about the club buying some chicken fingers/nuggets/wings trays.

Dana and Richard are in the process of remodeling, so bring your hammer and paint brush. (just kidding about the tools). Her tank has not had the attention that she normally gives, but I am sure it will get lots of interest.

So, far:

Gift exhange:
Bring something fish/coral related that 1) you no longer use and are willing to give away, 2) that still "works", and 3) that is not very expensive.

Games:
Some fun, silly, group games. Everyone will have fun. I mean, since I am looking for something fun for me (the preferable lump on a frog), everybody will have a chance to have fun. :wink:

NO kids this time, folks. The games will not be for adults and kids. Well, except for me and Janie, cause we will get to play? Ha!

 

[EvilMel]

Did they move?

 

[TriMax]

Yes

[EvilMel]

Ok. I'll be there but I have to leave at 8. I promise to be super on time. I completely forgot that I said I would go to my other friend's party that night!

I will be there before 6:30.

 

[EvilMel]

Hey guys, are we doing the ornament exchange like we used to? Dirty Santa. Or are we doing the used fish equipment exchange? Or both?

Lemme know asap because I really need to get an ornament if that's what we're doing.

 

[TriMax]

I think the ornament thing may be hard for some folks to do at this last minute. That is why I thought the old fish equipment exchange might work better. We can do both but several may not be able to participate. My vote is for the equipment only. But, we can do both. How about this, since we said we would, do both if anybody brings the items. :wink:

 

[EvilMel]

Not doing the ornament exchange is fine with me since it takes the stress off me having to go pick one up. Will you message Dana and tell her we're not doing it though? I don't want to show up and her be the only one with an ornament.

 

[TriMax]

Be glad to.

 

[copper]

Sorry to say I won't be able to make it. Merry Christmas to all.

 

[TriMax]

I posted "no kids", but I think several exceptions have been made. So, maybe I was wrong.

Therefore, if you got 'em, bring 'em.

Ha! HA!!

Jake won't be able to be there because he's working til 8 and I've got to leave around that time. But I'll be there and I'm bringing chocolate cake with chocolate peppermint icing. I posted a pic on the ETRC FB page.
