Check here if you'd like to receive the Newsletter

The April newsletter has been sent out. Just a heads up to the folks that are planning on opting-out of the newsletter. I know some of you that log in on a regular basis don't think a newsletter is necessary so I wanted to let you know a couple things.
1) The newsletter will occasionally offer newsletter only specials. So for one email a month it may be worth getting, even if you are on the site everyday.
2) Once you opt-out there is no way for me to add your email address back into the system. So if you do decide to opt-out be absolutely sure you want to.
"Head Newsletter Chick in Charge!!!"
Background:
The following sequence of events happens when you open your mouth in front of the Wench....
I headed to BTS a few weeks ago and Kamala had me fill out an entry form at the show. Down at the bottom were some options for things I may be interested in. The last one said, "Check here if you'd like to recieve our Newsletter but NO SPAM!!!"
What Newsletter?!?! SD has a Newsletter ?!?!
The Wench informed that past attempts had been made but she hadn't found a consistent 'newsletter maker'. Well that's when the SUCKER sign on my forehead began flashing brightly and somehow an offer to help came out of my mouth like verbal diarrhea.
Now I need from all you folks out there. Are there any SD veterans that remember the old newsletters? If so, what did you like or not like about the format or content?
If you're like me and had no idea that a newsletter even existed, tell me what you would like to see.

The inconveniences we go through to help out our DEAR WENCHIE are not always understood until after you get the SD tattoo. Good luck!!!
oh and BTW "There's a newsletter???" you would think I would get it at least.
UH OH, Elvis number 412 is back, he is a fat end of life era Elvis. He even even brought bananas and peanut butter. That is sad on so many levels.

As for the SD tattoo... is this done in a tattoo parlor by a professional or cult style at 110' by the Wench?

I'm also going to have to put my name forward in the suckers category... I don't hold a 'position of power' on SD... but I might like to in a year or more. Yes, someone actually wants your job. Clearly I don't know what it entails, otherwise i'd be running in the opposite direction screaming like a dive-alert plus.
I'm ready when you are....

Normally that's reserved for tall dark handsome MEN but I guess it was I was daydreaming of that tall dark handsome man when she blindsided me with the need. Ahh I'm hopeless.
I wonder how much a brain to mouth filter costs.... Nah I'll just stick a reg in my mouth. That should do the trick!

We tried to put one together before, but did not have a way to deploy it at the time. Has that been corrected?

I would contribute to a newsletter if it becomes viable. I think I write reasonably well, and if people let us know what they want to read about, I think several people working together can do a great job.

Yep, that's been fixed. I'll remember your offer in a few months when I'm knee-deep in .... er, my thesis.

So YES Tammy and the more the merrier. By dividing up the sections we can keep it fresh and new and FUN!!
So what columns should we have?
Right now we have THANKS to Erica the following:
HOT Forum Topics - Regular Column
Featured Trip - Regular Column
List of all Upcoming Trips - Regular Column
What's in this issue? - Regular Column
Wanna Find Treasure? - Regular Column for now
The Wench's Slate...Musings from the Founder - Regular Column
New Members - Regular Column
TradeShow Update - Regular Column
If we had an instructor that wanted to contribute that would be awesome!
If someone wanted to do a forums tip of the month that would work good
Other ideas???

Gear Guru! I was thinking of having someone write up a little blurb on the cool light we played with at BTS. Maybe that's next month and the neat dry bag is June? It would be cool of one of our members that has gear they LOVE wrote about why they the product. Instead of just a generic write up about gear. What do ya think?
Hmm...even better if its things we sell our members!

IMHO,it would appear that this very site is a "Newsletter". There is such a diversity here of Divers & experience levels ,it (SD) is its own News letter community.When I think of a Newsletter,it should have or add infomation of a current / future event'(s). I.E.,Diving Equipment (new),Ocean,Lakes,or maybe a cleanup event in a certain area of the country. The daily input ,I would think would be filtered into one location or by region..I'm going to suggest , (by zip code)Then published out, once a month or....semi annually.Thats my .02's worth of input.
Thanks for the ideas! You're a brave soul I like the addition of clean up events and the like. I'm hoping this also might entice more HH events.
I've been thinking about the very points you bring up in light of the poll results that a few folks feel that a newsletter isn't necessary. For regular members that log on everyday or once a week it's probably not needed but I'm hoping to target all those folks that I met at the dive show who signed up years ago and haven't been on the site or people like me (well used to be me) that only logged on the check out the trips once every 6 months or so.

We are SO good about not spamming people that we have NEVER really contacted people including those who want us too.
And as you saw at BTS...many say... I forgot about you...I thought you were going to send us your newsletter.
So this is for those who don't come to the site in hopes that they will start making SD a regular place to hang out!
