Hey Marsh members! I still remember when I came to Houston for your MACNA event. Can you believe that was five years ago? We had such a good time, and a bunch of DFWMAS members made the trip south to hang out with all of y'all.
I'm encouraging you to NOT buy a new coral, new MH bulb, new pump this week. Use that $85 to get the full conference package for MACNA 2012, which is being hosted by our club next year. DFWMACNA is taking place the last weekend in September at the downtown Sheraton hotel.
Tell your boss, your spouse and your family members that that weekend is booked, a year in advance. I want every one of you guys to immerse yourself in the MACNA-experience. This is the third time in 10 years that MACNA is in Texas, and you will have an incredible time.
Buy your ticket now, because on October 1 the price jumps up to $109. Why waste extra money for the exact same thing? I know you guys are always looking for the lowest price for anything you buy - well this is it. Next year, carpool or hire a charter bus to drive up as a group, and share rooms with each other to save money that way. With you being 'local', costs are minimal compared to those that have to fly in and rent a car to get around.
There will be tons to learn to be educated as reef keepers, over 150 booths filled with vendors handing out free schwag, the chance to win some amazing stuff to upgrade what you have now that you had to buy because you couldn't afford the nicer option. Couple all of that with the Friday night reception and Saturday night gala, you'll only need cash to buy food and any products that you can't live without.
This year, I invited a person to attend MACNA in Des Moines a few weeks before the event. She wasn't even in the hobby yet, but she paid over $150 to attend. I did the exact same thing in 2002 when I went to my first MACNA. You have the chance to do just that, at a mere $85. Don't procrastinate and tell all your friends and club members to sign up now. I want everyone to get the best deal possible. Here's the link:
