[Texascavers] Seeking Texas grotto information for the Texas Caver newsletter

2012-12-04 Thread Speleosteele
Good morning, Texas cavers,
 
Our new editor of the Texas Caver, Jill Orr, is seeking material for the  
next issue. I have volunteered to seek a couple of paragraphs from each  
grotto in Texas and have a regular column about grotto goin-ons. I just  
dashed out the two paragraphs below about my grotto. Please, would the  
chairperson of each grotto, or someone delegated by the chairperson or who just 
 
wants to do it, send me a couple of paragraphs about their grotto? I'd really  
like to get these by next Sunday. I'm leaving for a caving expedition to 
China  on Dec. 16 and have a lot to get ready. 
 
DFW Grotto
 
The Dallas-Fort Worth Grotto is about 52 years old. It meets once a  month 
at the Dallas REI on the fourth Wednesday night of the month. The  meetings 
last two hours with an hour of it being business, announcements, trip  
reports, and upcoming caving trips, and an hour devoted to a presentation,  
almost always a narrated slide show. After the meeting most people go to a  
nearby Taco Cabana restaurant for fellowship and talk of caving past and 
future. 
 
Members of the DFW Grotto are conducting a project to thoroughly explore  
and map Spring Creek Cave, Kendall Co., Texas, one of the dozen longest caves 
in  the state. Its members go caving in a multitude of places such  as 
Texas, Arkansas, New Mexico, Arkansas, TAG, Kentucky, Mexico, China,  etc. The 
current grotto chair is Steve Webb, with the chair-elect  being Natasha 
Glasgow. Besides Steve Webb as chair in 2012, the vice  chairperson (in charge 
of 
grotto programs) was Natasha Glasgow, secretary  Charles Goldsmith, and 
treasurer Diana Tomchick. Other incoming officers are Jay  Jordan - vice 
chairperson, Jake McLeod - secretary, and Diana Tomchick will  remain as 
treasurer. 
 
Thanks for your help with this.
 
Cavingly yours,
 
Bill Steele 
 
PS - Editor Jill Orr is looking for someone with each grotto to ride herd 
 on grotto members to get articles
written and sent to her. I'm going to do so for the DFW Grotto. Jake  
McLeod, if you read this, know that I'm going to ask you to write one about  
becoming a caver in Texas. You sure have done that over the past six months.
