SaltGeeks' January 2012 Meeting Minutes

Hello Saltgeeks!
As most of you know we had our Annual Kick Off meeting at Andy's home this month.
A lot of good changes the past year here at Saltgeeks and we hope to continue improving our club and what the club offers our supporting members as well as the members that have not yet taken the plunge and joined our knowledgeable and diverse community of saltwater enthusiasts. We here at Saltgeeks feel that, once you meet the people you are talking to on the forums and experience our meetings and our outings, you will feel more comfortable here in the quality of genuine friendship, experience, helpfulness and knowledge as you endeavor to create your own slice of the ocean in your home.
All of us at Saltgeeks would like to thank Andy and wife Susie for their hard work and hospitality in making our kick off meeting a huge success.
Once again, thank you for your hospitality.
