Bag & Grab Table will use both Silent Auction for those wishing to sell a few corals. Free corals will be bagged and available on side of table.
 
My wife (Kelly) said she will also volunteer to help with the Bag & Grab table. She might have to work that morning so has asked to be a tentative as she might be a little late.
