Hey Stan.... Thank you for the speedy reply... I'll hit the cancel button on that room reservation.

We'll miss you today, but we'll take you up on that offer to see you on a Caribbean island!

GunnaBdiver? and I just got checked into the Hilton Garden Hotel and her sister and brother got here just ahead of us. Looking forward to seeing everyone!! What time and where is the happy hour.

Unfortunately, I'll be unable to make it to BTS today. Some stinking low-life broke into my car last night. I'm soooooo pissed. It may be un-Christian to say this, but I hope the thief (thieves) take the few dollars that they took and use it for a lethal drug OD.

This incident aside, it was wonderful seeing you people yesterday. Hopefully, same time next year.

Rick.... before I catch up with everyone with a BTS report, I just want this to be about you. So sorry to hear that your car was broken into on the very night you were with us at the BTS Happy Hour! Of course you are angry, but we are glad that YOU are safe. l was robbed last year.. it is creepy for sure.

On a better note, THANK YOU for helping to make BTS special and successful for us too!!

Rick that is terrible news... And I knew I did not see you on Sunday but I was not sure if you were just tucked away working or not. I'm glad you are ok and I hope they did not do a lot of damage to your car. I'm sure your thief or thieves will meet with proper punishment soon.

It was GREAT to see you and I hope you keep getting stronger from your infection. When I can slow down in the next couple of weeks I'll work with you on the nutritional front. I'm still in NY and will be home later tomorrow night.

At least I have some internet today...have been without for most of the show.

A HUGE thank you to all the peeps that were able to join us at the show and help out or celebrate at our awesome Happy Hour on Sat night.

I went home with a few extra t-shirts so I'm sorry that some of the volunteers did not get their shirts.

And of course we can't forget Ms Cat fish who kept us all organized and ensured we got all our volunteer hours!


p.s. Please post your pictures HERE!!!

Hey! I returned home from BTS to find six visitors in my house. And, yes, four of them are still here! So this Thank You is a tad late, but straight from my heart. Thank You, Thank You for making BTS such a success AND also so much fun! You are the best workers, and the most reliable group on the planet. The staff at BTS have such respect for you, and it is no wonder!

I especially want to thank Dave aka Dave L who did his usual fantastic job, supplying a number of hours to BTS that pretty well put SingleDivers.com over the top before the show even began. Thank you also, Dave, for sharing your great room at the Embassy with us. Maria aka SirenaCansone and Barb aka 1Scubadiver also delivered lots of hours and enthusiasm. Here's what BTS Senior Director, Marilyn Sasso, wrote after Dave, Maria, Barb and I helped out with Friday's BTS Auction and Fish and Famous banquet......

Congratulations!!! You all have helped to make the 2012 BTS Auction Events a HUGH SUCCESS. Sylvia and your team from the single divers--thank you, thank you, thank you..... it is a pleasure to have you join us and I invite you to be a permanent part of our team. I truly appreciate how I can count on you to get the job done, you need no direction and you take the ball and run. The decorations around the room and in the restaurant were superbly coordinated and looked fantastic. -- Marilyn Sasso

A bunch more SingleDivers showed up throughout the weekend and gave and gave of their time and energy. Thank You... Lisa aka GunnaBDiver, Rick aka Hipshot, Jerry aka Jerrymxz, Jeff aka Sparky103, Eric aka BottomDweller, Dorothy aka UnderWaterPicLady, Anna aka Anna.

Did I miss anyone? (Being in company-overload makes me flaky, but I digress... )

I also want to say thanks to these fine folk who hoped to help out, but their schedules got messed up and they couldn't join us this year. We appreciated your effort and hope to see you next time: Carol aka racquetgirl666, Janice aka scubajan, Mike aka MikeNJ, Kate aka Kate P, Steve aka Diver Steve and Susan aka susiq.

To summarize: A good time was had by all! Thanks everyone!

Sylvia...you are right without DaveL we would have been short on hours...he worked every day of the show and the 2 days before!

Our other volunteers quickly filled in the gaps and we not met our requirements but exceeded them a bit!

As Sylvia says...BTS loves us and this is one of our favorite shows!

We could NOT do this without your help and support! And our Happy Hour was truly a blast seeing SO MANY OF OUR FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS!

I hope to see ALL of you on a trip soon...and if not at the OMS Demo days we are working on for this summer at Dutch and of course next year at BTS if not sooner!
