www.TriStateHerp.com has been updated to include all details about the upcoming meeting.

Date & Time: Tuesday January 6, 2009. 700 to 900 pm

Location: Pappy’s BBQ & more restaurant in Wildwood, GA. 706.820.1060

Management has offered to provide free drinks to members who order food.
Directions: from interstate 24 (east or west) take exit 169 and turn right. The restaurant is less than 1 mile on the left, just past the Pilot truck stop, across the street from the Fast Food & Fuel truck stop.

Topic of discussion: local copperheads of the tri-state area. (Sub-species and variations) And any other topic members bring up.

Cost: There is no cost for the meeting, as always. However, please come hungry to support our hosting sponsor.

Door prizes: There will be a drawing for some door prizes. Sponsored by Get Tanked Pets in Rossville, GA. URL: www.GetTankedPets.com Phone: 706.858.3474 and Pet Addicts Pets in Huntsville, AL URL: www.pet-addicts.com phone: 256.852.4494

Miscellaneous: we are going to be in a new meeting location. Pappy’s is happy to be providing us a meeting location. Everyone that can, please try to order something to support them. It’s unbelievably hard to find someone willing to work with us, due to the nature of our hobby. Pappy’s has a full service restaurant (BBQ, pizza, and more.) I have put their menu on the website. They also have a convenience store and game room. For those that smoke, smoking is allowed in the game room and there is an outdoor patio with tables and chairs. If anyone wishes to bring animals, be sure they are in a proper transport cage. We are a reptile club, and reptiles will be welcome, but we do not want to shock any member of the general public that may be there. Wildwood is very close to the center of the tri-state area. It’s a perfect location for the TSHS. It’s only about 7 or 8 minutes from downtown Chattanooga. Wildwood is known for having the best gas prices in the area, so wait to fuel up there.

Please pass this information on to anyone in our area that has an interest in reptiles. Thanks
