So with 2020 behind us (and never to be spoken of again), where do we stand with the club status starting 2021?

With the current state of the pandemic, people opening their homes for close proximity in-person meetings is understandably out of the question.

That being said, things like equipment rental & the coral library should still be feasible. A new PAR meter was purchased about half a year ago & has been unavailable for members to use due to the club hibernation. I don't know about anyone else, but I've made multiple lighting changes over the past year (and plan to make more very soon) & paying $50 for a short PAR meter rental from BRS seems like a waste when it could go towards the club.

@cale0721 or @BlueDevil , any updates for us?

Honestly, Brandon, you are the only person asking about the club these days LOL!

if you wanna go ahead and pay your $20 membership dues for 2021 in the understanding club is still pretty limited so you can use the par meter than Yash or I can hand off the meter to you. Once the meter is handed off to you, you get it for 7 days and then there needs to be arrangements for it to be picked up/handed off.

Yeah unfortunately our member count was low prior to the pandemic so we don’t assume it would be a good idea for in person gatherings at peoples houses etc right now.

I think the challenge right now is finding a place to have a meeting at. I doubt many people would want to have a bunch of people at their house and most stores will likely not allow us either.
Outdoors is about the only option which given the weather is tough too.

I'll go ahead & do that, got my new light coming in today & I just have to get the spar urethane coat on my new canopy tonight to get it all set up! Knowing I'm not cooking my previously happy coral would give me a lot of peace of mind.

Do I still send it to the same Paypal account?
