YEA!!!!

An intimate group of 4 or 5...how awesome!

Of course others are welcome!

I'll probably attend, although I'm heading off on a dive trip for a week and a half so'll be getting back only a day or two beforehand.

How does PJ Whelahans on 70 sound? Thats in Cherry Hill. They have good food and good beer.

I'll be without computer for about a weeek so If anyone has a better place feel free to speak up.

So far I think it is only 3 or 4 of us going, so I don't see a need to make reservations unless a lot more folks speak up that they are coming.

How does 7:30 sound. I'll be there with Barracuda Babe. Can't stay too long since I'm attending a wedding the next day, but it'll be great to see all again.

Awesome! Anyone up for bringing items for the care packages? They will be put together for members serving abroad as well as others who'd like a care pkg from home that we are in contact with. This endeavor is really taking off and what a great use for your old scuba mags...we've had several soldiers come back and get certified after seeing all the cool places we have 'down below'.

Dave you did such an awesome job helping us out at BTS...would you consider being our Operation Care and Share coordinator for the area? We can always get Mike aka Phenoix or another member to help you! I know Carol aka Sassi will help when she can too!

Please let us know and hopefully we can make this a regular event at our REGULAR Happy Hours!

I don't mind doing it. I probably will not be able to get the off until I return from Key West. I'm sure I can get them in the mail before Bonaire. I'll need names and addresses unless it is the same as the last time.

Dave you are an



As for timing of mailing them that is not a problem...just send them whenever you can do it. We'll have some new names for you...I'll ask Victoria aka Victoria to work with you on that part of it. And we'll need participants to bring things for the pkgs. I'll post the list of things that have worked really well so far!

And of course we'll get you to put 'stickers' on the magazines again! That really worked great the last time!

IMPORTANT REQUEST:


Hey gang...lets see if we can supply some care packages for our members who are serving as well as helping other men and women 'across the pond' whom we've obtained names and addresses for!

Here's a quick list of needed items:

- Jerky (lots of it!)
- Hard candies (preferably Jolly Ranchers)
- Sports drink mixes (Gatorade, etc, with electrolytes)
- Baby wipes (lots of the travel size packs, rather than one big pouch...they won't dry out that way)
- Magazines (ESPECIALLY DIVING MAGAZINES), books, audio books, movies on DVD (they can be pre-owned...they just have to work and be appealing to the troops!)
- Q-Tips (again, lots of smaller packs, rather than one or two big ones)
- ZipLoc bags (gallon size, but not the kind with the "easy slide" slider thing because they're not air/water tight)
- Trail Mix bars (lots of 'em!)
- New SOCCER BALLS (deflated, so that we can ship them in bigger quantities - they go over extremely well with the troops & the local kids!)
- Frisbees
- Decks of cards

You can find the full list of needed items here.

We can also accept donations of money to purchase supplies for making several hundred neck coolers (the kind with the water-absorbing polymer in them) because the hot weather is coming on strong and the troops need all the help they can get to stay cool. We'll be purchasing large quantities of desert-tan cotton cloth, and the polymer crystals, and sewing these little wonders over the next several weeks. If anyone would like to help with making them and is handy with a sewing machine, we'll be glad to have assistance.

All donated items will be shipped to our contacts in Iraq and Afghanistan for distribution to the peeps that can use 'em. All donated funds are deposited in the Care & Share bank account which SingleDivers maintains, for the payment of the shipping costs and for purchasing requested items. If donating money please make it out to SingleDivers.com Special Account or if sending via paypal PLEASE reference that the funds are for Operation Care & Share.
