Plan now to join us for Dive! Put-in-Bay 2007
   Plan to spend a couple of hours  on Monday, September 17, 2007 pitching in to help with the clean-up of Put-in-Bay's downtown harbor for Dive! Put-in-Bay 2007.
  The 16th annual clean-up is on the Ohio Lake Erie Commission's Coast Weeks program again this year.
   Put-in-Bay civic and government leaders are again partnering with mainland experts in the dive field to coordinate this important program.
   Local sponsors are already immersing themselves in plans for the island's 2007 Dive! Put-in-Bay Harbor Clean-up.
  “Our community is so appreciative of all the volunteers who made the trip to the island and of our local residents who helped collect more than 1,500 pounds of trash from around the municipal docks last fall.”
  Beckford said Miller Boat Line and Island Transportation will remain the event's primary sponsors. The Miller ferries will again transport clean-up volunteers to and from the mainland.
  Island Transportation, owners of the Downtown Bus and the Island Tour Train, will transport volunteers from the Lime Kiln Dock to the clean-up site downtown.
  "We discovered two years ago that the success of this community project relies predominantly on the many people who volunteer to clean-up and the businesses and individuals that support it," said Beckford.  
   Last year more than 400 people volunteered to help clean-up Put-in-Bay's downtown harbor.
   Sandy Heschel and her husband, Patrix Heschel, are both divers but take the day off to assist in land operations. Patrix represents the Ohio Council of Skin and Scuba Divers, another sponsor of the event.
   Another large contributor to the success of the clean-up is Port Clinton New Wave Dive Shop owners Rod and Jenny Althaus.
   The Ohio State University's John Hageman will return as Put-in-Bay Coordinator of the event.
   "John takes care of locating and gathering together all the necessary equipment needed to do the clean-up," Beckford said.
   The Village of Put-in-Bay and the DeRivera Park Trust are also important contributors in coordinating efforts so the project can be completed safely within a short period of time.
 The clean-up committee is currently seeking volunteers for the this September's project and is also seeking sponsors for the event.
  Anyone interesting in sponsoring the clean-up for $100 will have their name printed on the back of the official 2007 Dive! Put-in-Bay Harbor Clean-up T-shirt given to all volunteers.
  Please download the Sponsor Form, complete the form and mail, along with your check for $100 made out to Dive! Put-in-Bay Harbor Clean-up, to the Put-in-Bay Chamber of Commerce PO Box 250 Put-in-Bay, OH 43456.
   Divers are reminded to bring their own equipment. We are also not set up to refill air tanks so please make sure your tanks are full prior to leaving the mainland.
