MEMBERSHIP NOTES • We are pleased to announce that through the generosity of the Great Lakes Maritime Institute a new video projection system has been installed in the DeRoy Hall Auditorium. This will allow for a wide screen projection system to be used in a regular basis to allow the audience to feel that they are a part of the show - be it a diving program or a trip on a freighter. This year we will be bringing out some of our films from the archives and converting them to video so that they may be shown on the new projection system.
