Greetings From The Hospitality Hut!

Finally the deep blue sea is warming up and inviting us to jump in and enjoy!

It does not happen often, but I do not have any first-time guests to report.

Somehow, I missed Rory Brohammer, son of Dr. Rick.  He was spotted in the front after the meeting started.

If any member sees a guest without the "Guest" name tag, please bring this to my attention.

I wish you all Happy Diving.
