Winter Meeting Jan 23, 2010-- Planning Thread

Ok, we're working out the date our 2010 Winter meeting. We just need to confirm with the hall availability before we announce the date.

Otherwise, feel free to discuss the Winter meeting plans in this thread.

We can start by deciding on a name, again.

Last couple have been 'Winter Webfest'

Shall we go with this, again?

======================

UPDATE: Winter meeting will be held Jan 23, 2010 at the Concord Veteran's Hall from 11:30--4:00
BayLee

Personally I like our 'Winter Webfest' name.
EdgarOrtega

Winter Webfest is fine by me :)

Sounds good. Why was this thread moved here? lol
EdgarOrtega

Or how about Wild Wilderness Winter Women of BATS 2010?
CodeWilster

I vote winter webfest

<edit> wait so it's going to be in early January, right?
EdgarOrtega

Nope, Late January if we get the hall, but thats all pending the vet hall dude's return from Hawaii. lol

Bring your T-Snuggies

Unfortunately, that sounds too much like "world wide web" to me and may inadvertently confuse.  The word "web" is permanently ruined now, methinks.

What about Tarantula Wonderland?

Winter Tarantula Wrap?  (That sort of sounds like some seasonal menu item at Chipotle...)

Frigid Arachnid Fantasia?

Tarantula Sleigh Ride?

Chill-icerae Challenge?

My thoughts

I think that we need to keep our quarter meetings name's the same, because people remember them. WE have already gone through the process of naming them.
Let's just work on the procuring of the meeting hall,collecting donated items for the raffles, food sign-ups and maybe a speaker for January.

Keep it simple !

BCathcart

I cant wait for this one! since I couldn't make OCT meeting this will be my first BATS meeting!
UglyKid2

It was good to meet you  at the Sac show and looking forward to seeing you at our meeting!  
TeguKid80

Frosty Fang Frolic +1
ann

This will be my first meeting and I am REALLY hoping to make it!  Any idea when the date will be positively known?

And oh, as for the name,  I think Winter Webfest is very clever and cute!  I must admit though, I would assume "Webfest" referred to the internet instead of spiders which is not nearly as fun!
EdgarOrtega

I'll try to get a confirmed date tomorrow (Thurs) :)
ann

Thanks Edgar!

What Ann said.

That's why in my earlier comment I endorsed not using "web".  Besides which, not all tarantulas would be known as making webs.

BayLee

Any update on the date yet, Edgar?
squirrel

Note to self...BRING MORE FOOD!

Sweet! Thanks Edgar! Can't wait if I counted right only 73 more days!
Bonedog

ann

reptileman79

What??? I missed Bacon Chocolate Chip cookies???  
ann

So we're to bring goodies?
BayLee

yep
llamamama

Rachel made the cookies.
BayLee

She must make them again.
llamamama

Maybe if you ask her nicely, she will.  
EdgarOrtega

Where does one find a big chocolate big in order to make bacon choco chip cookies?

Yes, Ann, we usually have a potluck lunch for everyone. Anyone who wishes to make a dish to share is free to do so!

I think you meant "pig", right?  If not, that was a very Dada response.

The potluck is great.  We make a big, fat breeding ground for cold and flu viruses by putting all sorts of finger food on a table, so that all the visiting children can stick their saliva-drenched fingers into it.  You know, "sharing."

EdgarOrtega

Sounds like quite a "GermTown Buffet"  Maybe, I'll stay away from your dishes. lol j/k

Sorry Peter, I was speaking Lonish. ;)
squirrel

Hey guys, at the last meeting I managed to collect around 30.00 to donate, this time I may be getting a nice check from my employer! I am now working in marketing and they are thinking about donating on our companys behalf! Ill keep ya posted!!!
UglyKid2

Whoa, that sounds great, thanks for looking out for us, you are the man!!
My parahybana LOVES her backdrop  
squirrel

Thanks John! I'm glad the background is working out nice :) As far as a corp. donation, Clark loves beneficial insects, the tarantula being one of em :) . I am more than happy to get this rolling, you guys have been great, from day one on the forums you guys have been a great help so its my pleasure looking out for SFBATS!!
EdgarOrtega

So, do we want to do potluck, again? I'll round up some goodies.
northswan04

I'm down for a potluck.  I'll make enchiladas this time!

Will they be schicken? I sure love me some schicken  
squirrel

Oh man that sounds good and i'm hungry......I'll bring chips and salsa (from my fav. mexican place)
EdgarOrtega

Who's going to do our flyer, this time? :) Rachel? Lony?

Can we use my spider drawing?

BCathcart

I vote for Edgars design!!!
Arachnocat

We're totally putting that on the flyer. lol.
I guess I should get to designing that! Unless Lony wants to this time.
BayLee

No, no Rachel, you do such a great job.
nefarian99

I'm not that great w/ photoshop or anything, but I could draw up a flyer if you guys want. Let me know.
EdgarOrtega

Awesome! Its good know who has the know how. I BELIEVE Rachel is working on something for this one, so we'll see.


RAFFLE!

Our raffles are our biggest fundraising sources, so if you have something you'd like to donate for our Winter Meeting Raffle, let us know. The more the better!

You may donate:

o Inverts
o Cages
o Supplies
o etc. etc

Anything that would be cool to win and generate ticket sales at the meeting. Let us know if there is something you'd like to donate to our raffle.
squirrel

I'll donate a 10 gallon tank background!
EdgarOrtega

SHAZAM! Sweetness. Thanks Fred Squirrel!
nefarian99

I can give you guys a couple art prints if your interested for the raffle...I just dont know if i can afford to have them all framed atm...
EdgarOrtega

Vince, that's a great idea. To keep them nice, you could use a clear slip envelope with stiff card stock backing like they use to sell photographs.

That'll be rad, your prints are really cool. Thanks, Vince.
Sparky

I can always donate a patch or tote bag. :)
adversary

What's the address?
EdgarOrtega

Awesome, Sparky! This raffle is dripping with raddness, already.

If anyone wants to donate something for the raffle, let us know or bring it to the meeting. This is our main fundraising source, so we appreciate everyone's donations. :)

===================================


Is the Vets Hall heated? I cant remember, and it will be January.

Do I need to bring sweaters for my bugs? Ya'll should see my obt's in their cardigans.
llamamama

The address is Concord Veterans Hall, 2290 Willow Pass Rd, Concord.  The room we use is in the basement.
adversary

I can bring a propane heater if it's going to be too cold.
CodeWilster

Hmmm good thinking it sure has been super cold this year already....I have an awesome infrared ceramic (electric) heater that I use to keep my T room warm. It's made to heat up 300 sq ft but at least it wouldn't smell like gas! I think it would work great actually (heats up my large bedroom from 70-80F in about 20 minutes), it's super safe and good on energy. My animals wouldn't mind *one* chilly day   So, as long as there is some kind of outlet somewhere to plug it into I can setup the heat in the center of the hall somewhere  

(on a side note, I think everyone should have one of these for their T rooms, herp rooms, or living rooms!)

BayLee

I will think of something to bring as well, if I can't find anything I might bring this high priced show fella, he has been weacking up the cell phone bill for the past few months. He also wakes me up every night at around 4:30am. He does however keep your feet warm.


Anthonaus

What a beautiful cat.  I have a 10 gallon glass aquarium with a screen top that I will donate.

For the cat?

PC
Anthonaus

No, silly.  A cat needs a much bigger tank than that.
TeguKid80

Depending on stuff, I can probably donate something....
flipako

are we going to do some name tags?
T_Stew

I was gonna show up with my name sharpied on my forehead but name tags sound like a better idea!  
EdgarOrtega

If someone would like to make name tags, we wont say, "No".

I am a big fan of "Hello My Name Is..." stickers, especially when it comes to abusing them with confusing names.  I encourage everyone to print this out and use it for themselves.
