Normally, I would think about it, but after getting my July meeting blown off at the last minute for the Elos meeting, I think that my meeting hosting days are over.:ambivalence:

Since the Vp is unable to host. What about the president? Will his wife let him? Already asked mine she said hell now.

His 800 Gallon display tank is amazing. I believe a host is needed for Sep not October.
 
I heard we found someone for September I tried to take September but I was a day late.....

I also stepped up for October because we don't have anyone but I don't have a store full of frags.

If things change with feng please let me know would like to host a meeting one of these days

The September meeting announcement and RSVP page will be going up shortly, but first, I wanted to respond to a few topics in this thread...

Ed, I would love to host a meeting but my townhouse is way too small and parking is very limited unless people wanted to park very far away and walk. Even if the parking wasn't a major issue, it would be crowded with any more than 8-10 people in my house. Not an ideal location for a meeting unfortunately. :( My wife has always supported me in this hobby and all the things I do for/with this club so if the situation was different I wouldn't have an issue about it from her.

Herbie, I am truly sorry you were upset by the change in venue for the July meeting. I do not feel like we blew you off at the last minute though and hopefully our PM history about the meeting will show everyone else that we tried our best to do what was best for the club:

Hey Herbie,

Just touching base with you about the next meeting. Are you still available and if so, can you settle on a date so I can make the announcement?

Also, provide your address again and a short bio that I can put on the announcement.

Thanks.
George:

It is looking like the 27th. How does that sound?

Address is - (edited out to protect Herbie's privacy)

You don't have my old "bio"? If not, I will send you a new one.

Herb
Heya Herb,
I didn't hear back from you for about a week so wasn't sure what was up. During that time, we had actually had an offer from Elos AquaStudio to host this month's meeting. It's their 1 year anniversary and we've been considering the idea of having our sponsors host some meetings to fill in the gaps... so we decided to entertain their offer for this month. Also, this month's group buy was scheduled to be for inverts with an in-store pickup. We figured if they could also handle the GB then that would kill 2 birds with one stone. To top it off, they offered to provide a BBQ out back of the store, and give everyone a 20%-25% discount in the store that day. We felt like this was a really great deal we couldn't pass up.

So, while we appreciate your offer to host and your flexibility you have given us with regards to scheduling, we decided to give Elos a shot this month to see how it goes.

I hope this doesn't upset you Herb. You've been a great member and a fantastic host for us in the past. I was actually hoping to see how the tank rebuild was coming along too, but perhaps another time? We still have a few months open on the schedule and if you'd like to host one of those instead we would be honored and gracious.

To be honest, we also asked Herbie to switch months earlier in the year to take July instead (which he agreed to with no complaints at the time). But, when I didn't hear from him for almost a week after requesting the date for July... we got worried that he might not still be interested due to the first change request. When the Elos option presented itself, and given the fact that it gave us both a meeting date and a convenient way to complete our Invert group buy... the BOD agreed that this was in the best interest of the club. We were scrambling and we thought we couldn't take the risk of passing that up. We also were hoping that Herbie's willingness to cooperate in the past would mean that he would understand the situation.

Again Herb, I am truly sorry if this upset you and I hope you can understand why we had to make the change. Believe me, it was hard for us to make that decision.


David, please tell Feng that we would love to have a meeting at his store. However, the September meeting was just finalized this weekend and Dan_K has already requested to take October this weekend too. Is there any way that Feng could do one in November? That would fill us out for the year, leaving us only with the Holiday party in December. Let me know what he says about that.
