PBMAS
I was the last Pres of that club.
After being in that club for many years it was decided that the club would be dissolved due to the lack of member and officer participation.
The club at its best when I moved here, had plenty of active members and officers, but declined over the years to no activity at all. Even offering free events amd free corals at those events, participation was lacking to a point where events would only have officers showing up.
It was sad to see it come to that, but with only 2 active officers and no feedback from members (and I mean 0 even after several mass emails, posts, etc), it was time to stop.
Refunds were issued to members of 12 months or less. Mass email sent about dissolution, all bills and liabilties resolved, all assets and monies donated to local palm beach non for profit organizations.
That being said. The PBMAS domain should be available. If it is not, and someone would like to try amd get it going again, please just PM me here (or on any reef related forum as my username is the same on all of them), and I will do my best to assist in getting the domain name info for you.
Also, I believe thay there are still pbmas banners, etc., which I would be happy to give to the new club officers.
I've been in reef clubs spanning all my years in this hobby, from NY to Florida, been an officer in some capacity in most, and without a doubt can say that Palm Beach is a tough crowd. Officers before me and while I was a member and officer tried everything to get ppl involved, but it was a long tough struggle that sadly came to an end.
I would love to see an active club here in palm beach again.
