Hey SDer's!!! Anyone want to do a Happy Hour in their city or region? Let us know? I found a great way to recruit new singles for SD as well as for our planned happy hours.....run an ad in the Singles Section of your local newspaper. '

I ran the following ad in the Dallas paper:

To Travel and Living Section: Please include our singles group to your list! Thank you, Kamala

SingleDivers.com is for single scuba divers or fun, adventuresome singles who want to learn to scuba dive. We have monthly happy hours, local dive events, Discover Scuba’s and offer group diving discounts on dive vacations. Call 214-350-7003 or email Kamala@SingleDivers.com or www.SingleDivers.com


If you wanted to run a similar ad in your paper you could post the following:

Call your local number or 214-350-7003 or email your local email or Kamala@SingleDivers.com at www.SingleDivers.com

That gives people a local contact who would know when the next happy hour was as well as the national information on the club as well!

Anyone game to try this in their city or hometown? -ww

Anyone want to volunteer their city first? Let's see which part of the country can beat the recruiting effort of Texas? :usflag:

Suh...weet!!! Let's see if anyone else wants to take the SD challenge? So here are the rules...

1. You can place an ad in your paper in the singles listings
2. You can get creative and put flyers in dive shops
3. You can send info notices to dive clubs (perhaps on the Charity Drive sponsored by SD in conjunction with the World's Longest Dive Attempt!)

Tony Smith's World's Longest Dive Attempt

4. You can come up with your own ideas to spark interest!

Have at it!!!

Great! We love for our members to post their picture...it helps us get to know you better! And yes it eliminates that "blank face" syndrome you mention! :cool1:

So I think we have another person from Hawaii (Alikat) interested in doing a HH there....sounds like maybe we can get the two of you to work on it together! Are you game for that? -ww

Ok so where else in Michigan are you close too? Have you seen any other members from your area on the board? Maybe in your case we do the post the ads in the local papers and diveshops and do a grass roots recruiting effort! -ww

I used to date a lady from Greenville, so I am a little familar with the Grand Rapids area. To be honest, there is decent nightlife in GR. I also like Frankenmuth in central Michigan for the microbreweries, and TC for much the same reason.

I bet our Chicago contingent could have a nice little party as well. I just can't play as I work straight afternoons. :cool1:

Hmmm....sounds like the beginnings of a great happy hour in the area! Anyone want to work on organizing it? Brian would be perfect but he has to work! Of course I bet he'd help get it set up anyway cuz he is just that kind of guy! -ww

Happy "hour?" What kind of nonsense is this? Why I am happy 24/7 (even yesterday when my #%^&^&*^ computer hard drive crashed with all my unbackedup data on it).

The Casino Dive Park would be happy to "host" a SD get together, possibly complete with beer milkshakes. However, I'll be in Florida (if there is anything left following Francis).
