Dear Summer Sunlovers
Wow, if this hot weather does not have us running for water, I don't know what
will. The upside to the heat is that our local waters are warm enough that
our training and fun dives at the lake and quarries have been exceeding 60
minutes in length. It has been fabulous to see divers get so much bottom time
and experience with each and every dive. Of course with the wacky weather has
come tropical storms. I am happy to say that we have been able to dance
around them successfully to complete all of our trips so far this year. Our
two annual July live aboards on the Avalon and the Juliet were as fun filled,
adventurous, and entertaining as ever. In addition to some really incredible
dive experiences, there have been some great friendships created that continue
on. There is nothing like real bonding during a dive trip to make the week
memorable and our lives richer. Having so much unhurried time together also
helped me get a good idea for trips that you would like to see in our Easy
Divers future. Right now I am on a mission to schedule Australia for
Thanksgiving 2006 or 2007 (depending on the price), and Cabo san Lucas in the
Baja (depending on the most optimal time of year to travel there). The annual
DEMA International dive convention is just around the corner in October and it
will be there that I will do the research and deal making to get these trips
on the calendar. Please send me your requests for future dive travel by the
end of September if you would like me to get info at the convention.

TN TITANS
I am looking for some sponsors as I participate in the Tennessee Titans
Foundation Annual Jazzercise Fundraiser. I have the opportunity to dance in a
halftime perfomance at the season opener for the Titans on August 12th.
Jazzercise has contributed over $110,000 so far to the Titans Foundation to
fund charities in Tennessee. Our goal this year is $40,000. Please help me
do my part! All checks are to be made out to: Tennessee Titans Foundation and
must be received by this FRIDAY! Thank you in advance for contributing and
making a difference to those in need.
NEW DIVER INCENTIVE
Since those of you reading this newsletter already have made a commitment to
divng and have chosen Easy Divers as your Instruction and Travel
Provider, I am asking for your help to get the good word out to family,
friends, and co-workers. I just had new business size cards printed up that
are to be redeemed for one free Discover Scuba session. Stop by the office,
or call me and have me drop some in the mail to you. The purpose of the card
is to get all those folks who always say they want to dive, IN THE DOOR. As
you hand out the cards, I ask that you put your name on the back, and the
following: this free offer expires 60 days from __________(today's date). I
will save the cards as they are redeemed and whoever sends me the most
participants will be honored with a special treat at our annual Christmas Open
House on the first Monday in December. It is always fun to turn new folks
onto the fun of diving, create more dive buddies, and have more folks to help
make our trips happen. Thank you in advance for taking a vested interest in
this challenge.

ALL ABOUT OILS
Many of you who have dropped by the pool office or traveled with me lately,
know that I can be found in a cloud of stuff that smells good. I have been
using Therapeautic Essential Oils by Young Living for healing, wellness, and
vitality. This alternative method of healing is affordable, easy, effective,
and smells good! It has been especially helpful for our needs as divers and
travelers who want clear sinuses, enhanced energy, stimulated immune systems,
and minimizing of aches, pains or motion sickness. If you would like to learn
more, please save the third Monday of each month for the ALL ABOUT OILS
workshops that I will be conducting. Next workshop is scheduled for August
15th at 7:00 PM. Please call me at 753-2926 to reserve your space and confirm
the location.
COOKIE LEE
Want to get a head start on Holiday gift buying? The Cookie Lee line of
Jewelry is fun fashion jewelry that is good quality and affordable. They have
many designs that are especially appropriate for fun in the sun destinations.
I have fallen in love with their Twinkle Toes Flip Flop Necklace and great
assortment of dolphins, hearts, stars, and palm trees anklets and toe rings.
The jewelery is affordably priced from $10 - $38, is purchased cash and carry
at a home party, and is not available in stores. Our consultant Vicky and her
family (a new recruit into our Easy Diver family) are brand new in town. We
want to welcome them and support them as they get settled in Memphis. You may
order from the fashion catalogue or join us at my home show on Thursday,
August 25th from 7:00 until 9:00. Please call for directions.
