Happy Holidays USA Divers,

The 2019 dues for most people are due January 1 so save some of that holiday money for the club!.

Membership would like to welcome three new members:  Gus Lowery has rejoined from his home in NC; Eugene Ryvkin from Boca has joined and Kimberly Lamaze from Coconut Creek.  Welcome to our great dive club.  The best way to get to know us is to participate in our activities, better yet volunteer to help with them.  We have a new application from Roy Harrington, thank you Roy.  

To Robert Horin:  if you are reading this, I need your contact information asap!

I hear the water is still warm enough for diving, come join us.  Please remember that the December general meeting will NOT be at the Marriott Courtyard.  Look for the address on the USA Dive Club Home page.

See you at the club Christmas Party December 8th at the Marriott!

Hot Summer Hello from USA Dive membership.  We have a new application from Susan Sheen.  The Board will review this application August 9th.  If you want other applications to be present at this Board meeting, please get them to me before then.

Membership news and things to be proud of included a benchmark goal achieved by our very own Ryan Goheen.  Congratulations!!  Phebe Young has been diving again after a year long battle and victory over health issues. Yippee!  Last we should mention Laura's singular goal to rid the reefs of lionfish. I believe she caught 5 on her last dive. 

We welcome all guests to our general meetings and to our dive & social activities when accompanied by a member.    That's all for now.  E

Hello June,   Welcome members and guests.  Let us hope that the rain will let up for clear diving this month.  We invite our members & guests to visit our photo gallery to see diving and social activities.  They are impressive. 

Our next general meeting is June 7th. It will be a social meeting which is perfect for members to reconnect and guests to meet members and ask questions about our club.  We have a least one interactive meeting each year.  A slide show of our past activities will be running.

Remember guests are welcome to our meetings and certified divers are encouraged to join.  Our local dives are well planned and include the group rate, our international dives trips are phenomenal and our social activities are definitely not dull!

March is supposed to roar, but February had its share of windy days. Seas were rough! USA Dive club still had fun with Monster Gooney Golf and the Manatee experience in Riviera Beach. Some of us like to kayak in protected waters when diving isn't possible. We welcome new members in all our activities!

Speaking of new members, Membership now has 7 new membership applications for the Board to review. That is a record! Most of them are out of state new members going on Nancy Styles Cozumel trip in June. I hope we get to see them on other trips as well.

If you are a certified diver and would like a fun group to dive, camp, kayak and socialize with, come to our meetings the first Thursday of each month. See for yourself that we are friendly and accepting people.

Remember guests are welcome to attend our general meetings too. We have a busy dive agenda as well as other fun activities. Enjoy, Eunice
