Still need chairs Vixen I can grab a couple (10 ish like last time).

Also is anyone interested in some 20L tanks have a few I can bring If anyone is interested.

I'll bring some snacks, napkins, and maybe a few more drinks.
How about SunChips and juice? Will bring SOLO cups, too.

20 longs would be amazing! I've been trying to find some with cracks for my lizards! But maybe I can make a fishy tank hehehe

I've been waiting on a 20L on CL for weeks! Auction them off maybe? Raise money for the chapter!

YES 20L

Ben,
I can bring a cooler and ice.

I have also been looking to get my hands on a 20L. That sounds good Mark, I havent been able to locate my cooler since I moved.

I've been having my neighbor save 5 gallon buckets for me from his restaurant. All of them have only been used as food containers hence never a toxic item in them. I think I have 8 of em that I was thinking we could auction off at the chapter meeting for a a couple of bucks each with all of the proceeds going into the chapter funds? Dumb idea or what?

Buckets are always useful - at least they are to me!

VA Chapter Stickers are on the way should be there Thur or Friday vixen.

Hopefully they get here before Sat.

I've got the napkins! We can all rest easy, now!
Bring the buckets, Bill! I'll bid for one.

Hi there! I wrote an intro obviously on the intro page of the forum, but I'm strikingthematch's wife. Just wanted to say that we'll be attempting to attend the meeting on Sunday. I skimmed the thread a little bit, but is there anything you'd like us to bring?

finger type food like chips or veggies. cake, cookies, or plastic cups. Also if you have anything aquatic for the auction old equipment or live stock or fish food. Va Chapter get 15% of each sale unless you donate more or all. Money is for thing like fliers etc....

Sounds good. I don't know what all we have available that we really aren't using, except that we have ttoooonnnssss of artificial plants/ornaments that are just sitting in a box if anyone is interested. I'll hook you guys up with cookies :)

yes ornaments and fake plants sell.

I just counted 18 fake plants I'm bringing.. plus some knick-nacs.. 8 buckets... (so far).. Plus a heavy duty foam shipping cooler (great for transporting fish during a move)..

Bill do baggies with assortments in them and sell them by the bag.
