You guys are SO totally organized, I think all the newbies (and I'm one as well, but you've already coached me - thanks!) would benefit from your wonderful advice/tips. I agree though - I feel like the kid on the Disney World commercial ... "I'm too excited to sleep"!!

All right here it goes. Try to plan to be there all day. The best deals generally are found at the end of the auction and that is when we do the best give aways via raffle. We have all sorts of goodies to be given away at the end. Not just one item this time. As for what to bring.
1. Yourselves.
2. A fun attitude.
3. Try to beg, borrow, or buy a styro for storing all of the live items you win.
4. A bottle of hot water or heat packs for said styro to keep your livestock warm and happy while they are sitting it out.
5. We will have drinks and food available, however if you want to bring in your own drinks, that is fine. We do ask that you not bring in food, unless of course you have medical or religous objections to what we have available.
And of course, enough money to get all the goodies you want!!! Trust me, this will be my 4th auction that is aquaria related I have attended, there is no such thing as budgeting. We try and try, but have yet to succeed.
LOL I KNOW we are going to have lots of fun and get lots of really cool stuff. I will see all of you there.
Members, please come to the board meeting the night before as we can really use everyone's help.
Thanks!!!!
