DMAV 2001 Christmas  Party had plenty of fun and food for all the attendants

The DMAV would like to thank Ron and Jeri Campana for hosting the 2001 Christmas party at their lovely home..

Plenty of food, fun, and good friendship abounded.  The annual DMAV Photo Contest winners were also selected.

The DIVEMASTERS 2001 Photo contest  had some wonderful submissions. 

Judging was tough, but three winning photographs were finally selected.  All of the membership would like to congratulate the winners:
Sharon Acton - 1st place.
Pete Newman - 2nd and 3rd place.

Copies of the winning photos are on page two of this newsletter
