Our 50th is Coming!!
Can you believe it!! Our beloved ASD will be turning 50 in 2011.
Your Board of Trustees is starting the planning now and wants to know your ideas. We'll be celebrating at all levels of the organization - local, regional and national. We want to celebrate with events, articles and historical material.
Got ideas? Want to volunteer for a committee? Please contact us at marketing@dowsers.org |
Name
the Presidents!!
This is George Weller, our current ASD president. How many other ASD presidents can you name?
The first person who submits the most presidents' names, with their years of service, will receive the authentic Joe Smith hand-turned brass pendulum shown at the start of this newsletter.
Actually, this is an information request as well! We want to assemble a full list of our past presidents and are hoping someone might already have such a list, or parts of one, in their possession.
We have some true dowsing immortals in this list and if you have a favorite among them, and would like to write an article on their work, please let us know.

 Convention 2009
The National Convention is going national in 2009!! The location of the convention will still be in New England but the folks organizing it will come from across the USA.
Sharon Cohen is the Northern Illinois Dowsers' vice president and a dowsing instructor for educational groups. She will be co-chairing the event (the other co-chair will be announced soon).
Sharon is seeking a team of volunteers drawn from many dowsing modalities and locations. Her goal is to have solid regional and dowsing specialty representation, and to explore the different dowsing themes that interest different sections of our country.
Meetings will be held by teleconferencing. If you would like to volunteer for this committee, contact Sharon at (224) 595-8369 or by email at sharon@endlesspossibilities2.com |
Quotes from our own dowsing greats
Everything is known in that big library in the sky. My L-rods are my library card. - Tony Gehringer
I believe I've found a group of potentially the most powerful people on earth. The good news: it's you, the dowsers. The bad news: you don't know it. - Raymon Grace
....from The American Dowser, Winter 2007-2008
