Hello all our fellow reef geeks! One of my main reasons for opening the store was to expand my love of the hobby. I cant think of a charity more deserving of our time and money then Central Campus. For those of you who do not know what Central Campus is. CC is a program of the Des Moines school system that allows students to take actual school classes in the field of aquarium science. These students start out with little or no knowledge of fish keeping. The school starts them off with the basics, and by the end of the class they are breeding fish and propagating corals! These students are our future hobbyists! Many have already gone on to work at aquariums across the country. As with any school system, they have a very limited budget. This year they could really use some more/new fish for their 14,000 gallons of saltwater. High on their wish list is a male Eppaulette Shark. This fish alone is usually over $600. Anemones, Clowns, & Corals is starting a fundraiser for CC called "Pennies for Pisces" We have a tank set up at the store you can drop your spare change into. We are also selling raffle tickets. Tickets will be $10 each. There will be three winners, $100 in coral, $50 in coral, and $25 in coral. All donated by AC&C. You can buy your raflfle tickets at the store, or send it to us through Paypal to acnc4u@hotmail.com. Make sure you put in the memo "a gift for CC". Please dont put anything in there about raffle as raffles are not allowed through PP. In mid September we will take all the proceeds & buy fish for them from our suppliers at AC&C cost! Thanks for making me feel all warm & fuzzy! CraigAnemones, Clowns, & Corals
