Northwest Dive Club

Due to time constraints caused by important and pressing needs elsewhere, our good friend and colleague Valerie Lyttle, (Zen Diver), has tendered her resignation as a NWDC Moderator. Probably one of the most universally admired and respected members of NWDC, Valerie has long been a voice of reason as well as both enthusiasm and kindness, always willing to share information and her excitement with diving with everyone. As a Moderator, she will surely be missed! Fortunately, as a friend she will remain with us as an active member as well as filling a new role as NWDC’s DAN Ambassador. So, please join us in bidding farewell to Valerie as a Moderator….but she’s not going far! :luv:

In her stead, we also welcome a new Moderator to the group! Penelope St. John, (Penopolypants), is joining the Moderator group effective today! Penelope has been a consistently enthusiastic member of NWDC for a long, long time, and her contributions have been many. Those of you that have seen her at the NWDC booth at the Dive Expos know how devoted she is to the club, and those of you that have dived with her know about her great love for our common addiction – diving! So, please join all of us in welcoming Penelope to her new role – the newest Moderator for Northwest Dive Club!

The Mods

Yippee!


For those of you who didn't know already, Zen Diver is an expert when it comes to anything DAN related. And, she's an RN. So, for all your dive safety related queries, look to Val.

Many of you already know Penopolypants from club dives, the expo, and random parking lots (get your minds out of the gutter!). Please join us in recognizing and expressing gratitude for her commitment to the dive club.

Val: thank you for your many contributions as a mod here. And thanks in advance for all the contributions you will no doubt be making in the future!

Penelope: Welcome to hell, kid. Follow these rules, and you might live for a while: Don't be first for anything. Don't be last for anything. And never volunteer for anything. Oh, and whatever you do, never, under any circumstances, open a link posted by, or sent to you, from Calvin. There are some things you can't "un-see."

Once again, I was out of town when they sent out this memo... My therapy bills are getting SERIOUSLY out of hand...

And for those miscreants who think their Board life just got easier with the addition of Penelope I simply remind them of this smilie named after our newest moderator!

Yay, Penelope. Congrats!

And most importantly - Don't ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone...for any reason ever no matter what. No matter where or who or who you were with or where you are going or...where you've been. Ever. For any reason whatsoever.

Seriously, thanks for your contributions, Val.

Penelope....SUCKA! er, uh, I mean congrats!

Wahoo!! It couldn't happen to two nicer people. You gals rock!!

Yay for Val.
Yay for Penelope.
Yay for the club because we get both of you.

Congrats to both of you.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. I can't think of a better replacement than Miss P-Pants, who will serve you well I'm sure. I'll still around and watching out, my Powers have just been modified somewhat

Valerie

Thanks Val, for your years of service to the site!!

P-Pants is the perfect replacement! Thanks Polypropylenepants!
