Prospective members,
Since this is a new club, membership is FREE! Just send me a private message or post your interest in this thread and you will be added to the club membership. If we get enough interested members around the club area, we will hold a kick-off meeting to discuss the organization, direction and focus of the club. Membership dues may be implemented in the future if there is enough interest so that we can get speakers, hold meetings, have socials, etc..
Please feel free to post here regardless of your location, as long as you respect others and conduct yourself appropriately and do not violate any of the TRT rules or any state, federal or local laws.
Please inform me if you would like to help "found" this club. This is a really exciting time and I look forward to growing this club with you in the future.
Best Regards,
Chuck Spyropulos

Let's hear your ideas
Some thoughts regarding this new club's direction:
I would like this club to go in a "members oriented" direction. I would like to see the new club make frag selling/trading easy between members and let members give more talks about their systems in addition to occasional guest speakers. Having a guest speaker once in a while would be great but is not required at every meeting, in my opinion. Frag swaps / exhanges/ parties should be one of the major focuses of the club where members really get to talk to each other and meet new members.
I would definitely like to involve LFSs in the club via some means (ideas are welcome here!). We might even want to get manufacturers involved in the club as well as LFS stores.
I think getting more involvement between members such as frag parties, road trips, tank tours, member system presentations/critiques, online club frag exchange program, member dive trip presentations, dive trips/travel, and social events would be much more effective than the traditional speaker meeting approach.
Please feel free to provide additional ideas and opinions regarding the new club's direction/charter.
Let's make this club great!
