DIVEMASTERS Club Cookout & Annual Dive Trip

It's time to pick the date for the annual DIVEMASTERS cookout and Dive trip.  Come to our next club meeting in April with your suggestions and your vote.  We will be voting on the date for our 2004 annual cookout.  Don't forget, everyone who attends the cookout earns an attendance wild card, so it's an event you won't want to miss.

We will also be voting on a date and location for the DMAV annual dive trip.  Last year's Labor Day weekend trip to the Bahamas was enjoyed by all who attended.
