Welcome to Spring,
The Board of Directors has listened to the complaints about the noise at the Aloft. March 24th Ronnie and I were initiated as Elks so we can move our meetings to the Pompano Lodge. Clare will be initiated the 4th Monday of April as she had a conflict. We will have our April meeting at the Aloft as this was too soon to be established with the Elks.
The BoD was able to get the Aloft to terminate our contract without any penalties, big think you to Ronnie, Nils and Julie for their work on this.
The Elks has a projector and a sound system in their facility, Nils and I visited and tested their sound system and one of their projectors, but they still need to mount the projector. The Lodge anticipates having food available for our meeting, but they are working out volunteers, so the menu may change or be limited depending on the volunteer that particular evening. There is one aspect that we need to be aware of, because this is a private club only members(Elks) can purchase alcohol. Everybody else will need to pay the member(elks) for any drinks they order on that member(Elks)’s tab.
Noticed will be sent out after our April meeting with directions and more details about the Elks Lodge.
As always, we would love members that are interested in helping or getting to know the club better to join the Board of Directors. We would enjoy some new blood and the perspective of new members.
Our schedule is filling up with new Local Dives and Social Events, please come out and join your fellow members. We all joined the club for these activities and the friends we have made through the years.
Happy diving,
Chris Hardham
President
