I am guessing the original intention ( way back when ?? ) to exclude non-members from an official grotto function was that at specific events there were free-loaders and non-cavers showing up just to party and drink beer and they knew a caver or had some connection to a cave or group of cavers, or once went in a cave.
But that was long before the concept of a big mortgage ever arose. Right ? I like the Headquarters and hope I can visit it again someday. I hope someday I can donate money to that cause, but I doubt it will be in 2016. David Locklear
