Meeting topic: Working with Acrylic. This time though, Chris' dad Emery would be doing the presentation.
Emery had been making some tanks for himself and they came out great (did you see the tank from the FFM? One of his!). The club had originally planned for someone else to come out and do the presentation however, it fell through. Emery stepped up and offered to demonstrate how to build a small frag tank and then raffle it off at the end. Chris wanted the proceeds of the raffle were to go to the Lutz tank though and not the club this time. Done deal...
The turnout was nice, the room was filled and there was standing room only shortly after the demonstration began. These photo's are actually later on in the meeting (during the raffle ticket sale) but, I figured they made the point either way.
Emery had made all the cuts prior to the meeting and started first by explaining the costs of a sheet of acrylic, where to buy it in his area, and how to make the cuts. Then, fire....
After that, he began the assembly with Chris' help and answered any questions people had.
Then he started to seal/bond the acrylic together.
While chatting with the President, Kyle.
In the meantime, raffle tickets were sold for both the tank and for all the other items brought to the meeting. Chris put together some great frag packs and brought a large sps colony and someone else also brought a large soft coral for the raffle. Kyle brought a bunch of frags from his tank too as well as a few others. The raffle table was awesome!!
Here's our VP & secretary trying to play name that coral...
The raffle begins.
And the happy winner of the tank is Country Bob!
Successful meeting! Everyone was happy afterwards, even if they didn't win the tank, and the Lutz received a nice donation.
Until next time, stay fraggin!
