Interested in Cephalopods? Small Symposium in DC.

[dbartco]

Greeting NJReefers.

I hope you members and your officers don't mind me posting this. WAMAS (DC club) is sponsoring this event and would welcome any members from your club that may be interested in coming down. It is a cephalopod conference with an evening social at the invert house at the national zoo. Probably a personalized tour the next morning at the Nat Aquarium in DC on Sun (working out the details now). Should be a fun time, with only a short ride for you guys down to DC.

Calling all cephalopod lovers!

TONMOCON IV is coming to the Wardman Park Marriott in D.C. on October 8, and you are invited! TONMO is a cephalopod enthusiast community founded in 2000, and our biennial convention brings us together for a weekend of presentations, discussion, and fun. The event is geared toward anyone who has an interest in these incredible creatures, and the presenters include marine biologists, authors, and home aquarium keepers, all who specialize in some aspect of cephalopods. Full details and agenda can be found here, including registration information (there is a $15 access fee to be paid in advance of the event).

Thanks so much. My apologies if this is posted in the wrong place. Feel free to move if innapropriate. ( I tried to email you guys @ officers@njreefers.org and it was bounced.) Questions? You can also contact me at doug@wamas.org.

WAMAS President

Sounds interesting! I was going to suggest inviting Richard Ross because one of our Directors At Large visited him at his home in San Francisco to see the cuttlefish he was raising... but looking at the agenda I see Rich is already attending. He was a speaker at our frag swap last year and he was very entertaining to say the least. He'll be a great addition to your event.

I doubt any of our officers would oppose this post at all (although it may get moved to another forum.) We tend to promote this sort of thing all the time.

Not sure if I'll be able to make this, but looks like a fun event. Good luck with it, I hope it's successful.

Thnaks for helping spread the word. Get a carload and come on down. We had a great group that cruised up to macna in AC, time flew by.
