Re: [Texascavers] Bexar Grotto is the center of the caving universe and here's proof...

[George Veni via Texascavers]

Bexar Grotto has always been generous, which makes me proud to be a member. 
Expanding that generosity to Texas cavers in general and some friends close to 
San Antonio:

John Moses in El Paso is the NSS International Secretary

Patty Perlaky at Cave Without A Name is President of the National Caves 
Association (US association of show caves)

Brad Wuest at Natural Bridge Caverns is President of the International Show 
Caves Association.

I look forward to seeing many of you in a couple of weeks.

I've always said Bexar grotto is unique. They are much more service oriented 
than most.
The grotto has a lot to be proud of.

[Geary Schindel via Texascavers]

So, what is unique about the Bexar Grotto and what are they doing, or could be 
doing better to attract and retain members in the grotto and the NSS.

Thoughts,
