Thanks for Coming!
The Long Island Diver's Association would like to report that our annual Film Festival that was held on Saturday February 9, 2019 at Hofstra University was once again a success. The event was a nice way for all of us to experience the work of some very accomplished film makers and photographers, and to re-connect with our diving buddies and begin dreaming about our dive adventures to come.
The Film Festival was followed by a great after-party, featuring catered food, beverages, music and exciting giveaways.
The annual LIDA Film Festival is our most significant source of fund raising for the year and we are deeply grateful to all those who attended and to those who purchased raffle tickets.
In addition, we would like to thank our sponsors who contributed so many generous prizes and congratulate all those in attendance who won a raffle prize, door prize or 50/50 drawing.
Finally, if you did not attend this year's event, we encourage you to consider attending next year. The date will be announced in the near future!
Thank you all again.
Safe Diving,
LIDA Officers
