Example Activity Calendar For Fall Semester by Tim Kennedy August 2003 |
Tim Kennedy ( past club President, University SCUBA Club Advisor with a long history of close association with the University Scuba Club) created a PROPOSED FALL 2003 CALENDAR FOR UNIVERSITY SCUBA CLUB to assist new club officers in planning activities. Drawing on years of experience in dive club participation, Tim went to much effort to compile activities for the fall semester that have proven to keep the club a vibrant and exciting society in which the diving college student could participate. Such excellent workmanship has gone into this document that current dive club officers can use this activity outline as a guide to plan their current semester activities. All of the activities suggested below have been time tested and very successful for the club in attracting new members and keeping current members excited about the sport of scuba diving. Use Tim's diving wisdom as shown below to get and keep the club prospering all year long!
