Re: [Texascavers] Bexar Grotto Donates $5000 to TSC

In addition to the minor repairs On the Texas Speleological Center, I think we 
should consider if we want to put wood firing strips on the concrete walls for 
sheetrock. Foam insulation could be put between the strips. Sheetrocking the 
ceiling would not only make the space look finished, but is recommended for 
suppression of fire. If we don't do this before we fill the basement, it will 
never happen.

The Bexar Grotto is also challenging other grottos around the state to 
contribute and try to meet or beat their contribution.

There have been a number of offers and requests over the past week to provide 
items or store materials at the new facility, and unfortunately we can’t 
accommodate those at this time. While we appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm, we 
still need to setup a management team for the property, help Bill Mixon sort 
through and remove his items, conduct some minor repairs on the property, 
determine the space needs for TSS and TCMA and figure out where everything 
goes, then establish a use plan for the property so that we can both meet the 
needs of cavers and provide a professional-type space for the Texas caving 
organizations.

Thank you!
