I hope everybody had an enjoyable holiday season and enjoyed time with friends and family. This is what the holiday season is about, friends and family.

Local diving is continuing this winter, so if you are brave enough to dive in “cold” water come join us. Please keep an eye on upcoming dives and join in if you are inclined. It is always a lot of fun catching up on the boat and having lunch afterward with friends.

I would like to thank the members that took the time to vote in our annual election of officers to serve the club and our membership. Unanimously the voters supported the following officers. We will hold our first meeting as the Board and appoint the remainder of the Board to serve the upcoming term.

• President – Chris Hardham
• VP of Programs – Rick Dayan
• VP Overseas – Nils Jacobsen
• VP of Social Events – Lureen Ferretti
• VP of Local Diving – Ryan Goheen
• Secretary – Amy Welman
• Treasurer – Ronnie Farr

The club has been growing at a faster rate than since I joined the club, please come to meetings and help our club grow.

Happy diving,
Chris Hardham
President
