wade August 7, 2015 Author Share August 7, 2015 Some resources for all of you to share on social media, other reef keeping sites, or just to read. Most are a bit older, but still get the idea across! http://reefbuilders.com/2009/09/18/11-reasons-macna/ http://www.melevsreef.com/macna.html http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2002-10/kk/feature/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wade August 24, 2015 Author Share August 24, 2015 We could really use a big finale from everyone here to help us push this meeting, especially regionally/locally. If you know of any resources out there to which you can post info about MACNA, we could use your active involvement in pushing info to them. This post (higher up) contains tons of links with info on them. A few areas that would do the most good: Opportunity Drawings (eg, raffles)!! We have TONS of awesome prizes that you can win if you drop in a ticket. Some of the items that will be available: https://macnaconference.org/2015/contact-us/prizes/ & The GRAND PRIZE: A trip for 2 to Fiji! https://macnaconference.org/2015/contact-us/prizes/prize-trip-to-fiji/ Tickets are available at a reduced rate right now, online.
