On Sunday afternoon, October 22nd , Amy and I hosted a fun game day at our home. The party was kicked off with a welcome punch followed by a variety of great appetizers as well as a brunch-like selection of desserts. The house was filled with a lot of socializing as members shared their summer diving experiences, plans for diving next year, and recent activities. Eventually we organized ourselves into groups and participated in Pictionary, Chinese Rummy, and Backgammon. Twenty members attended.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Independence Day Kickoff Party

As promised – we had a truly excellent pool/cocktail party on July 1
at the home of Eunice Hamblen. We learned many useful things:
pool volley ball is really hard regardless of whether you’re swimming
or floating in an inner tube; it is best to move the food indoors before
engaging in a water gun shoot out; porch swings around the pool are
a really good idea; beer is good (no, wait, we already knew that); we
have some amazingly good cooks in this club (actually, knew that
too)! It was great fun, and we thank Eunice for opening her home
and pool to us.

Upcoming events include:
