Wonderful Day!

A big thank you to Memorial for inviting us and our volunteers for making it happen!

Many individuals with disabilities were given the opportunity to escape into the world of SCUBA diving for a little while at this event. Fun was had by all.

PARK ADVOCACY WORKSHOP
April 15, 2018
It was our pleasure to host an advocacy workshop for our sponsor, National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA). They are working hard to help restore and preserve our nations parks. Thank you, Jackie and Caroline for setting aside a day to share with us the threats facing our parks and how we can help.

We also want to thank Mission United for allowing us use of their conference room. If you are a veteran, and you are struggling with something in your life contact Mission United. There is help.

Those that missed the workshop, please check NPCA's website, www.npca.org to see how you can make a difference.
Thank you, again, to NPCA for arranging for a documentary crew to join us on a Maritime Heritage Dive. Check out the video! Some great information from Nobel Prize winner, E.O.Wilson and then you will see our group around minute 11. Please take a moment and see what we do!
