It's been said that showing up is 90 percent of the battle. Over the years, Texas cavers have proven just that ... by their presence at TSA events and TCRs. That's how the TSA Land Fund has grown. A dollar per head adds up. The $500 NSS honorarium was just the seed money. On the issue of

David, You're way too early on the inception of the current TSA Land Fund. It did not exist before the 1994 NSS Convention. The fund was created with $500 as seed money. That sum came from the NSS as an honorarium to the Texas NSS Convention Committee for hosting the convention in that year
