badxgillen Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 WHOOP WHOOP!!! It is that time of year again, December is almost upon us and that means it is time for our Annual PNWMAS Holiday Party! I know I used a few too many exclamation points but I am just so garsh darn excited! Here listed below is the need to know so Save that date! Basic Information Walery's Premium Pizza 1555 Edgewater St NW, Salem, OR 97304 December 22nd 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The club will order a few pizzas and pitchers to get the festivities started off with, but with the counter to the pizzeria is just 15 feet away you should be able to get whatever you need conveniently. Being a pizza fan I like finding what a friend likes and going in on a pizza to share, variety is the spice of life right? Don't forget that we will have the annual White elephant gift exchange to get in on! To participate we recommend bringing a wrapped item someone might appreciate of a $10-$15 value. We will draw numbers to dictate the order of handing out the gifts, and allow for one optional theft of a previous opened present per person. If you have not participated in a white elephant gift exchange before, this may all sound funny, but I assure you it is a riot of a game where everybody has a good time and walks away with something to remember. If you are not satisfied with just one gift exchange then don't fret, we have ourselves a good old fashioned frag swap you can get your fix with here. http://www.pnwmas.org/forums/topic/44091-december-2018-frag-swap-thread/ And Last but not Least, we have some amazing prizes from our awesome sponsors and our PNWMAS club, you know we never disappoint. So make sure to bring some cash to buy some tickets and increase those winning odds, and stay tuned for more updates and additions to the raffle prize roster, you all know the PNWMAS December party is always Big! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashy Fins Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Already bought my white elephant gift in anticipation! It’s my favorite part of our holiday meeting each year. Looking forward to the frag swap thread, as well. Moving my tank didn’t go so well, and I lost quite a few things. Working toward replacing some favorites. I have frags of $ to trade. 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuncrestReef Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I'll miss out on this meeting, but for a good reason. I'm flying to New York with the wife to visit her family for Xmas, then flying to Paris for a 6 day river cruise over New Year's Day. This will be the first time I'll be away from my tank for more than a day so I'm a bit worried, but our house sitter/dog sitter/aquarium sitter will be briefed on the basics and I hope to have enough documentation in place for her to keep things running. Fingers crossed! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Oh darn!😪 This is always a fun party. I even bought a white elephant gift a while back but I will be on the coast with family for the holidays. This is a good venue and the raffles are usually over the top! Have fun everyone !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping we get everything sorted for mom before the 22nd so I can actually make it (thinking positive thoughts...). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisriverfisherman Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 So typical white elephant gifts are kinda gag gifts so to speak so with this event should they be more reef related and usable? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either. We see aquarium items, reef themed non-aquarium items (like socks with fish on them), and completely unrelated items (like lotto tickets). Whatever you feel like bringing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just add that you should save any Justin Bieber related items for Scott @spectra - he is a big fan. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That singing toothbrush is finally out of circulation at our parties! I won it and regifted as my white elephant at a work party. The owner’s boyfriend, a rich and stuffy guy with no sense of humor about these kind of things, shot us all the death glare when he opened it. 😂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaterIsLove Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 So with myself being new one here i'm going to ask a couple silly questions, is this a meeting that is open to newbies as well or do I need to become a member in order to attend? I would love to try and make it! I'm hoping to get my first tank setup next year but would love to get involved and learn what I can now.
