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

Cool! I'll keep everyone posted.

Matt, I'm really interested in attending if I am back home from over here in Iraq and I can get the time off. How does one go about getting some tickets?
 
Hey Blane,

That would be awesome to have you there buddy. A chance to meet John in person too! As far as buying tickets... that information will be finalized & up on my Diving a Dream web site in a couple days. I'll let you all know as soon as all that is ready.

Hey Matt... I have a few questions for you...

1) for the silent auction... do they have to be scuba related items? We would donante something to the silent auction from one of our stores, but they aren't necessarily scuba related (something for the home maybe - Retail around $75-100??).

2) Where in Florida are you hoping to go and dive?

3) Would you be feeling that "every little bit helps" because I can put up a jar and a sign in each of my stores (3 total 2 in Colorado and 1 in Ft Lauderdale), for people to toss in loose change. This can add up.

Good luck in general!
 
Hi Howard, good questions. For number one, it does not have to be scuba related. it well be a mix for things. Any thing you offer well be great. Yes you can also do the jars in the stores. If you need I can send you my logo to go with the jars.

These are the places I am thinking about, Florida Keys, Florida Springs, Crystal River. I have had offers for me to dive in different parts of the world. I don't know for sure yet, but most likely it well FL Keyes. If it works out I might be able to dive at my Fund Raiser.

Take care and thanks Matt.
 
We will definitely help make your dream happen... Let us (my wife isn't a SB member, but she dives) know where and when you're going to be in Florida... Perhaps we can dive with you as well (if there's room)
 
Hi Howard,

Thanks for wanting to help, that sure means alot!
you are more than welcome to be there on my dive.

Matt
