Please contact Steven at (347) 277-4793. We have an archive of our guest speaker videos from as far back as 1995. We make these videos so that members who could not attend the meeting or wish to refresh their aquatic skills can watch and learn from the speaker’s topic.

No members, other than those donating their help setting up or items for the auction, will be allowed in before that time.
