Information on Diving a Dream Fundraiser!

[MattTheAquaman]

Details are being finalized! Diving a Dream’s Private Event will be held
at Underwater Adventures Aquarium, in the Mall of America, on
Saturday, February 18, 2006 from 2:00pm – 6:00pm. There will be open
aquarium tours available during those hours too. There are still many
things to get organized but we also plan to have hor'duevers and
refreshments. The ticket sales information will be posted soon on
www.DivingADream.org

So far, I have asked John Chatterton to be a speaker, he said he would
really like to do that. Chris Conangla with UPN news is going to emcee
the event. I am also hoping to get Neal Watson to come.

My friend Susan Long from DUI has said she'd like to make it as well.
Scuba Radio is offering to do some sort of phone interview at the time.

We are looking for sponsors to donate items to a silent auction and
raffle. Anyone interested please feel free to contact me! Any dive
stores who want to help in any way, whatever you're willing to give
please contact me!

Or if you know of any big names in the dive community that might like
to be a speaker or help out as well please let me know. I will be
updating the info, once I get more things worked out.

The specific address is as follows....
Underwater Adventures® Aquarium
Mall of America
120 East Broadway
Bloomington, MN 55425

Matt...I just got a chance to see the video from the News report on your story. I was to the point of tears. You are an inspiration for everyone. I would love to help you in any way possible. Also, I will be there when you take you open water stride. No matter when or where, I will be there. Good luck and dive safe. Travis

Hi everdeeper43015,

I know how you feel about the video, it for me. You are welcome to be there on my OW dive. One way you can help is to get the word out. I well let you know if there is any thing you can help I'll let you know.

Take care Matt.

Feb in MN...not the ideal time to visit, but I have always wanted to see what all the hoopala was about regarding that great big mall up yonder. I will mark my calendar Matt, and if it is possible we may try to come up for the event (no promises though as my tired old joints really do not like heavy snow.) I hope that it is a great success none-the-less 8)

Hey DeWayne
That would be so cool if you could make it! Yeah it's not the best time of the year, but who knows, sometimes the weather isn't too terrible. Just pray to God there's no big storm or something! I may even pull off a dive in the aquarium there too, we are working on getting it approved! And about the mall, yeah, it is one big ass mall lol. And to think they are putting on more additions all the time.

Take care,
Matt

Tickets can be purchase via Pay Pal at this site below. http://www.divingadream.org/FundraisingEvent.html
The cost is $25 if you buy them now and $30 at the door.

I am trying to get as many online purchases for ticket(s) sold by January 10th so we have a good head count for catering, seating,
etc....

Hope to see you there!
Matt
