DIY Fish/coral food meeting with tour of Central Campus!!!

Discussion in 'Des Moines & Ames Region' started by Nik, Nov 17, 2012.

    The December regional meeting is scheduled for Saturday, December 1st. We're finalizing the time now, but want to be sure you get it on your calendar and plan to come. We'll be making fish/coral food and also getting a tour of the aquarium and Marine Biology program at Central Campus.


    Non-members can attend. But you must be a member to purchase the DIY fish/coral food. Its a great food - as all members that have used it with their aquariums love


    Cost for a bag of food will be $10/bag for those attending. We will have some additional bags of food for those that cannot attend - but have not determined the price yet for it. But, it will be between $10 - $15/bag - depending on the amt we make. We really want to encourage members to come and help in making it!!


    Please let us know:

    1) How many bags of food you would like?

    2) Whether you plan to attend.


    We will need to order food by next weekend - so please reply by Saturday November 24th.


    Let us know if you have any questions!

    Perhaps a post in the general forum might point a few others in this direction?
