Hi Folks, Sorry I haven't done much. It's a long story. I've only hear from Aaron and there is a good amount of money in the account for the club. The suggestion would be everyone who paid last year gets free this year. I also have a bunch of stuff at my house that the club can take. Its a bunch of boxes with promotional stuff that was dumped on me. I tried to get a bod meeting together but only Kurt was available. I'll try to get in touch with aaron to sort out the money. I can help in a limited capacity but I won't have much time this year.

I'm interested I'm in shelton
Hey folks, sorry haven't been on R2R in a while, had no idea there was so much activity. Handful of thoughts...
Regarding mutanty, I don't have s copy of the bilaws in front of me but I'm pretty sure we just need someone to nominate folks, someone to second the nominations and then folks to vote. Typically we struggle get people on the board so it usually just takes having willing people.
Regarding the name, yeah, being registered with the state there would be paperwork. If there's a board and folks want to make that happen, great.
Speaking of the state, I paid the taxes so we are in good standing there and the club has about $2k to work with.
@kgstei give me a call or shoot me an email anytime.

I think everyone lost interest while we were all stuck with no direction
This statement is 100% accurate.
What positions of the CTARS board need filling?
And I don't think the CTARS name should be changed, just my 2 cents.
Folks, we are post-Covid and the weather is starting to be nice, we can even hold meetings outside if necessary!

Technically I think all the board positions need to be filled. I think every year we're supposed to vote in board members. I'm happy keep supporting the club as Tres unless someone else wants it. I know Kurt @kgstei was previously interested in Pres. Assuming he still is interested and the club votes approvingly on those two that would leave VP and secretary.

Hey guys, I haven't been on here in a long time. I am glad to see there is still some interest in the hobby. For those who may not know me, I was the President back around 2007 - 2010. Back then we had 275 members, met monthly at Lutz Children's Museum where we 75-100 members come out every month (sometimes we would bring in national speakers like Marc Levenson). We had yearly conferences either at Mohegan Sun or at a restaurant in New London. Those were good times, but it took a lot of time and politics got in the way.
If I had to do it over again, I would keep it simple. Once every other month or so invite fellow reefers to get together at a local fish store (we had to get away from that as we were having over 50 people attend, but for a small group it should be fine) and in the off month, someone set up a tank tour, each time in a different area of the state.

@hans1976 any interest in rejoining the board? What your describing is pretty much exactly what we've been trying to do the last few years but covid, board members having births/deaths/family emergencies etc has lead to inconsistent results. As for politics, the board has been pretty free of politics or infighting for I think about 5 years or so but it's mostly been a revolving door a members reluctantly stepping in and taking a turn filling in a spot to keep the club going.

What's filled and what's not?
Who is nominated for what?
How are we going forward? As Kurt described or as it's been?
I'm not sure how much time I can put in but I'm offering to add support in the club. Maybe as an alternate? IDK.
