Nathan said:
“As for parking, everyone is welcome to park in the garage structure that is attached on the south side of the building. Later in the evening, the gate may be closed but I have a card key to open it. Otherwise, there is plenty of street parking in front of the building.” If the front and side building entry doors are locked, walking up the parking structure driveway entrance and then over to the 2nd floor office complex entry is an easy way to get to Suite 201.

The "South Bay Chameleon Keepers" (SBCK) meetings are normally held on the last Tuesday of the month from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm. These free-of-charge meetings are pretty much free-flowing, with all chameleon topics open for discussion. "Show and Tell" discussions are common. We continue to have group bulk-buys (silkworms, hornworms, superworms, crickets, dubias etc.) at our meetings. Some members may be bringing these feeders to sell but that's not guaranteed. Let us know if you are looking for these feeders (or anything else) and we'll try to confirm availability (pre-ordering) before the meeting. Some keepers bring their chameleon books and magazines along with other various items to spark discussions. We also won’t stop you from bringing your chameleons, young and old, big and small. Just keep in mind that it is past their bedtime and that there is stress involved in the trip. So if you plan on bringing chameleons either for “Show and Tell” or for sale (pre-arranged sales are encouraged) just keep in mind your chameleon’s well-being :).

Don't hesitate to RSVP with an email to: [email protected] if you think you might be coming. Didn't RSVP? Come anyway!

On your way and got lost or can't get in the building? For this meeting, call Dave Weldon on his cell phone# 310-600-4793.

Our group ranges from long-time breeders to novice keepers. Lately, there have been 10-25+ members attending. There are usually new members at every meeting.

No guarantees but there are usually snacks and drinks brought-in by some of the attendees. You’re welcome to bring some to share too!

See You There,

SBCK

(NOTE)
The www.chameleonforums.com has added a "Social Group" area that our SBCK members can associate themselves to by requesting an "Invite" (https://www.chameleonforums.com/groups/south-bay-chameleon-keepers.html). Our purpose for having the SBCK Group area on this Forum is to help SBCK members keep track of who & how to contact other SBCK members. The term "Member" is used loosely to mean anyone who attends the free meetings. If you have no intention of ever attending any of the face-to-face meetings there is no benefit to being part of the group and you will likely not be "Added" or kept in this Social Group list . This SBCK group area is not intended to replace the main forum. Use the regular Forum area for all posts. Use the SBCK group area as a means of locating other SBCK members to send PMs etc. Continue to use the latest monthly "Meeting Invite" Forum thread as a place to post to the SBCK members that are also "ChameleonForums" members. There are still a few SBCK members that are not yet Forum members but continue to receive their notices via the [email protected] emails. It also appears, for the moment, that Junior Member status on the ChameleonForums does not yet have enough "Permission Level" to join a Social Group.
 
Anybody need to buy some dubias?

Let me know so I can bring some. I have lots of adults and limited babies.

Looking forward to seeing everybody and talking to people who are interested in talking about chameleons!:D
 
This time i'm going:cool:...hope to see alot of you guys/gals there:cool:

im gonna buy quite a bit of feeders :p
 
Wisssssh I could go...I have to work :( Maybe when we move back to the Valley I can start going!!! :)
 
I will have plenty of Horn Worm cups! No silks this month :eek: Oh and I also have Butter worms and Super worms if anyone needs those, let me know!

I will also have AquaZamp misting systems and components available if anyone needs stuff!
 
I will also try to make it out. This will be my first one. Hope it turns out great.

Any raffles? I am also a member of The So Cal Reef Keepers club and they do raffles of goodies that are usually donated by vendors. Heard it makes great revenue for the club.
 
I wish I could go but a friend of mine is having a going away party tonight...Wish I could see those Jackson's! It would have been almost perfect timing as my new cages come in and now I have plenty of places to keep critters, but less space in my house to keep them in! LOL

Howdy Albert,

For better or worse, the SBCK group has not gone into the revenue generating side of group activities. From time-to-time members have donated/purchased items for use at reptile show events (giant SBCK banner, handouts, LCD monitor, coloring books, crayons etc.) but we have stayed away from direct revenue generating activities for various reasons :).

Meeting-nights have anywhere from 10-30 keepers show-up and activities range from simple roundtable discussions on up to parasite workshops and vet lectures. We mostly keep it a simple social event where chameleon keepers share their stories and sometimes their chameleons :). Kevin takes care of our group insect feeder co-op sales and Steve is our Cricket Crack dealer :).

Hope to see you there!
