Hey everyone, we are getting a jump start talking about the December meeting because we have somethings to sort out first.

As we discussed last night (at our November meeting) we decided it would be fun to do a Secret Santa w/ frags for the December meeting. We need to establish some guidelines to help make it fun and fair for everyone so we are looking for suggestions on how to pull this off.

My thoughts:
- Limit the frag to a $25 retail value (can be taken from a home system or purchased)
- Require those entering to provide:
-Name
-Tank Size
-Experience Level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced?)
-3 Favorite types of corals (so hopefully no one ends up with something they don't like)
- Enter through FB or ORC Private Forum on R2R

I also think a good date to set to enter would be two weeks before the meeting (Nov.18) unless we think one week (Nov 25th) is enough time.

What does everyone else think?

Sounds good to me. I think we should call it "approximately $20-25" and make a general statement or two about what you want or don't want.

For example, I would just say "I'm open to anything that isn't green. "

Someone else might say, "Please nothing challenging" or "softies only" or "anything blue or purple" or "nano tank; nothing that grows too large" ... etc.

Just trying to think how to simplify it but also make sure everyone is happy with their secret santa gift. Just a thought.

Thanks,
Ed

I agree with that.

So someone wanting to participate would submit:
Name
Tank Size
Experience Level
3 Favorites
Simple Request (ie "no zoas", "softies only", "nothing green", etc...)
