The New CT reefers

Another thought, the other club in Connecticut has no traffic to speak of lately. Can we reach out to them and maybe try and merge together?

Yes, and I've been a paid Member for the past 5 years or more. I guess I'm not sure what your saying. I have posted on the ctars website in the past. I guess I thought the badge would be automatic is all. No biggie, I like the idea of a PR.

Yes it’s not automatic you actually have to request it yourself so we can approve it and I don’t honestly even remember how to do the actual request. I will research it after this evening but if someone knows how please lend some help. I actually have a queue of 6 people now that are not paid members requesting to be added.

I have no idea about club finances since I never attend meetings. Perhaps the new BOD though, when confirmed, considers an account with a different bank. BOA is ridiculous with it's fees.

Totally on the to do list. Already started looking at banks. We just need to physically get a couple board members at a bank, in a bank when allowed, at the same time. Bank of America is what the club has had for a while but we don't get much for the fees we are charged so we are looking for something more affordable.

Is it ok for Boston Reefers Society officers to attend this meeting. We'd like to collaborate on some events/meetings in the foreseeable future. Kind of like the old days. I'm the current President and would love to network with y'all.

Hey all glad to see you are all trying to pull CTARS back. These are tough times for our clubs. I have been on the BOD for the last 3 years at Boston reefers. FFM was the last event we attended also. Good luck and if I here of any CT locals looking for a local reef club I’ll refer them your way. Happy Reefing!

The zoom was last night but in the future definitely join and chat with us! I remember meeting you quick at FFM and we talked quick about reconnecting the clubs as well as with LIRA. It would be great to collaborate with you guys!

we missed it but maybe we could have a meet and greet zoom between BRS and CTARS officers. CTARS officers let us know.

Thanks in Advance!
