The meeting at Pizza Chef, Jan. 8, 2008 canceled due to severe weather in the area, but the meeting was still conducted on an online conference call.
In attendance on the call was:
Steve Owens
Trever Simon
Jason Massey
Dennis Talbott
Tammy Storm

- Dennis Talbott is now officially the the Committee Chairperson for 2008
- Should Ex- board members still have board member form & site privileges? It was decided, NO, they would no longer have access to the Board Member site &/or forum, only active board members would have access.
- Jason will set an e-mail account for the Committee Chairperson (Dennis) with directions on how to set up & use.
- Discover Scuba at the YMCA. Good way to introduce new people to scuba. Looking at doing a pool session with a MAG at a pizza place or something for those who attend the session. Larry is cool with letting the club be there & help out as they can. Best to do the first time in collaboration with Aquatech Scuba Center. The club is looking at a Fri. or Sat. in Feb. time frame to accomplish this. Dennis to get with Larry & work out details.
- Club presence at the local boat show. Are we going to do it? Aquatech will be there, can we get in with him (maybe help man his booth)? We would need several people to help cover, if this is the case. Dennis is quite familiar with boat show workings & will look into the possibilities some more.
*Committees:
- Safety- Looking at a sign in/ out board for members attending a club diving function. That way it is know whether someone is in or out of the water & perhaps they type of dive (deep, shallow,....).
-Events- Mall of America Aquarium dive March 1st, 2008. How deep is the aquarium? Jason to look into. There will be a fresh water dive, then a salt water dive & a behind- the- scenes tour. The Massey's are going to leave Fri. Feb. 29th & return on Sun. The club also looked at the possibility of aquarium diving at Chattanooga Aquarium, but it can only be done by volunteer workers. The club is also exploring the possibility of doing a Bonne Terre Mines trip sometime in the near future. There were some that were interested in this due to closer proximity to the Evansville area after Pomfret's report of his trip.
Looking at a Super Bowl Party on Feb 3rd at the Massey's (Is this correct???)
-MAG- Next Meet & Greet will be on Jan. 19th at the Fox & Hound at 6:00pm.
-Membership- Jason to get with Trever & update membership list for the beginning of the year. Notes to be sent out to those who need to renew membership. End club of committee notes.
- Trever suggested a "Kudos" section for club on the site. All agreed.
-Need to put dive dates & such on calender to help those who may just be browsing to see what the club is up to. all agreed to this.
- New Club Cards. The club will get the cards at the agreed amount of payment
with the printer.
