So, is there any chance of us having the MW Social the weekend of July 4th this year? I'll be able to make it this year if we do. Otherwise, who knows? :)

Wasn't Slim last year's CDF Midwest Social Director? If so, he still is until he 'retires'... You MW guys pick a date (July 4th, is a Monday, or whenever), and we'll put it on the calendar.Quote:

Once I decide on a date, I will let the proper people know so it can be posted. I was just thinking about how I need to start looking at my calander and get a date figured out before it is too late.

I don't expect people to plan the social around my own schedule, but hopefully we can find a weekend where we can all hook up again. I had such a wonderful time up there cave diving with everybody and I made some lifelong friends. I can't think of many better ways to spend a weekend! Also Slim, I got some stuff of my own in Mason jars to bring this time! :smt023
Have 2 wreck-diving trips planned for July. (Steel caves!)
But all of August is wide open!
Not that you'd plan it around me, either--well, maybe if I asked nice--but August gets my vote.
I have a mason jar with a specimen in it. :)

Where is the midwest social usually held? I would be interested in trying to make it if it's not too far away.
There is an NSS-CDS mini workshop in Missouri, August 13. maybe the CDF social could be held at the same time?
FW, you might have somehitng going on there. I will sit down and think real hard about having it during the NSS-CDS meeting in August. I might have to just have two of them and call each one a half, so that there would be a larger chance of getting more dives in. I don't see why we can't have two. One for diving and one for hanging out and just seeing everyone.

Or perhaps a planned primary date and a backup date in case prolonged rains blow out the entrance again?
