May 21-23, 2010:
Northwest Dive & Travel Expo
Web:
http://www.nwdiveandtravelexpo.com

Ok mark your calendars...SD will have our 2nd 3rd ANNUAL booth at this show and we would LOVE to see you there too! And if you want to help with the show...we need to supply a certain number of volunteers to the show in order to get our special booth price! Plus SD will need a few peeps to help work in our booth!

We have been instrumental in helping the show get started and be successful so we have a very proud legacy to keep! We NEED your help this year to keep the momentum going! And check out our location for the show...front and center! Suhweet!!

p.s. These shows help us recruit new members which enables us to keep filling our trips and therefore keep existing. Please consider helping us to help build our club! The NW is a Beautiful Place to visit...just ask cmt489, tolly, sassi, landlocked dive nut, scubatooth and others who traveled from all over Canada and the US to help us last year! :iagree:



How can our awesome members help get the word out about the PNW Dive & Travel Expo??

The more attendees we can get to attend the show, the better chance we have for signing up new members and potential dive buddies.

We want to get the word out to as many divers, dive shops, travel agencies, and other industry-related people as we can! This includes OTHER DIVING WEBSITES! Please post the details on as many DIVING WEBSITES as you can or keep threads about the show active!

Let's post our ideas here, and then everyone who reads the thread can help out by trying to get the word out to their own connections using the ideas listed.

If you need a link to the Expo's web site to help spread the word, here you go: http://www.nwdiveandtravelexpo.com

Hey everyone! We had a blast at the 2009 show and yep...its time to start planning our return for 2010! We will be there in force AND we'll have an even bigger show this year!

So start PLANNING NOW to be there! And lets seriously look at doing a dive locally if we can! (See comments above for possible dates!) OR plan to dive in the Treasure Hunt on Saturday Morning! :iagree:

And if you can help with the show WE NEED YOU!!!

In 2009 we recruited some amazing local talent and I just know they are going to REALLY ROCK THE NORTHWEST for SingleDivers.com! So come on and join us...the water's BRISK...the show is HOT and the people are the BEST!!! -ww

Our shop is signed up for a show booth again so I plan to be working this show. I'll tentatively plan to make happy hour and stop by the SD booth for hellos on my breaks! :blink:
