[GSAS-Member] HAP/BAP call for action

[Paul M Wallace <pwallace@u.washington.edu>]

GSAS:

It is now open season for submitting HAP/BAP points to be eligible for awards 
and prizes during the November meeting.  The rules for HAP and BAP are listed 
here (GSAS.org) and the program has the potential to do great things like 
recognize individual achievement and developing a list of who does what so I 
would like to see it flourish.

To be successful, I would like to see lots of participation.  Last time I offered 4 
prizes and got 4 people to commit…  So this time I am offering 10 prizes 
(5 for each) out of my own collection.  If the program takes off I have no 
reservation to adding or begging for more stuff!

On the HAP side I am offering at least a used CO2 regulator, several gallon sized jugs 
for DIY CO2, prizes from AGA, in addition to any plant assortments.  For BAP my 
resources are smaller but at the least I can offer two sets of Gardneri killies and two 
sets of sunset platties.  I am hoping to also include some cherry shrimp if my colony 
does not crash (again.)  Details in my shrimp tank are included in the talk so this 
will not be a “plants only” event.

So to join in the festivities I have lowered the bar such that single HAP or BAP point 
(snails count!) gets a “participation” certificate and a chance at 
prizes.  Beyond that there are many award levels as detailed in the rules.

If you are interested, please post your interest either to the main list (the 
who does what part) or to my account listed above.  Right now I am just 
interested in names so details like points can follow latter.  If you are 
experiencing problems figuring out points or if an item qualifies please do not 
hesitate to post that also.

Thanks!
-Paul
