First Southern Maryland Reef Symposium

[kjord97]

Maybe moderators can make this a sticky for me. Thank you

The Southern Maryland Marine Aquarium Society (www.smmas.org) is proud to host the First Southern Maryland Reef Symposium featuring noted speakers Mike Paletta and Steven Pro on October 29th, 2005. This event will be held at the Calvert Marine Museum from 12:00 noon to 5:00 pm located near beautiful Solomon’s Island. The pre-registration admission fee of $30 is available until October 22nd, ticket prices increase to $35 thereafter and at the door. Included in this price is admission to the Calvert Marine Museum featuring wildlife from the Chesapeake Bay, a petting area of rays, interactive displays, as well as the history of the Chesapeake. Check out their website (www.calvertmarinemuseum.com) for directions and all the activities that are available.

It is suggested that you arrive around 10:00am when the Museum opens and check in at the front desk to receive your Reef Symposium passes and admission stickers for the museum. Tour the museum and enjoy the “saltwater” tank displays of the local Chesapeake Bay (who knew seahorses lived in the Chesapeake?), there is so much to see and do here you may want to join the museum and come back again!

We are not allowed to serve lunch at the museum but there are many different venues in the local area just minutes away before the show starts at noon. We are including light refreshments between speakers as we take a break to look at the raffle prizes donated by our good friends and sponsors. The raffle will begin after the last speaker gives his presentation.

Sounds interesting, and I'll definitley try and keep the date free and attend. Solomons Island is on the Eastern Shore...correct? Close to Ocean City?

That's a good 3 hour drive for me. 8O hehe

ohh no not on the eastern shore. you can take one of 2 ways to get down to us. you can take rt 4 south from the DC loop south all the way to solomons. it is about 50 miles. or you can take 301south to waldorf, then hop on 5 south which turns into 235 south, then take 4 north when you get in hollywood, md. the museum is right as you turn onto island. please make sure you pre register for the better deal. at the door tickets will be avaiable. there will be 2 vendors and a very nice raffel.
