I hope everybody is enjoying the start of weather cooling down. Please double check your Hurricane Plan and be prepared since we still have a month of the season remaining.

Please sign up and join the club out diving. 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. The Blue Heron Bridge crowd is still very active also.

Our November speaker is Shark Team One which will be a in person speaker.

It is that time of year again for Board of Director elections, the Board is proposing the following slate of electors.

• 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

There are several positions on the Board of Directors where help would be greatly appreciated. It is a great opportunity to learn about the club and our membership. The members that volunteer their time would appreciate some new blood to join the BoD and help guide the club into the future. Additionally, there are several appointed positions that will be filled after the new year, please reach out if you are interested.

Our overseas participation has dropped this year compared to last year, this is a major benefit of our club and source of revenue. If you have locations you would like to visit, please let Nils know so he can look for good deals at DEMA this fall.

Please come to meetings and help our club grow.

Happy diving,

Chris Hardham
President
