Well said David, here is a chance to meet the directors and officers of the NSS and to see how the business of the NSS is conducted (you may all be surprised to know that the meetings can sometimes be boring - but the parties are quite good LOL).
Hope to see you in Houston and thanks to all the Texas grottos that helped organize the BOG meeting.

I have been a member of the NSS for 24 years, so I feel it is my duty to encourage all of you to drop what you are doing this weekend and come to the NSS Board of Governor's fall festivities. In less than 11 hours, cavers will start socializing at the Gingerman Pub ( in the Village, which is a shopping district a few blocks west of the Rice University campus ) The NSS came all the way to Texas to make an effort to meet with its members face-to-face and to give a chance for non-member cavers to learn about how the important the NSS is and what it takes to make things happen on the national caving scene. These meetings will be on the Rice University Campus. A nice group photo could be taken of the attendees in the prestigious courtyard there. So you want to be in that photo. The Saturday night party will give you a chance to potentially meet cavers you have never heard of, and a chance to make new caving friends. I have heard rumors of cavers coming out of the woodwork for this event. Address for the party is: 2306 Butler Drive Friendswood, 77546 I invite you all to camp in my back yard or sleep on my floor, but I live quite a ways out of the way from the festivities. Hop on a bus, get on Craigslist and find a ride, or whatever it takes to get here, and I will pick you up and drop you off at the party. This is an event, that may not take place again in southeast Texas for another 10 years or more. The last one here was 1986, and it made a significant impact on caving in east Texas. The only way to reach me this weekend will be via e-mail at [email protected] or Facebook. [ There is a small chance I could give someone a ride to south Dallas after the party, as I need to be in Mansfield this weekend, and have postponed that trip to try to attend the BOG. ] David Locklear President of the virtual Fort Bend County Speleological Society President of NaturFest Association NSS # 27639 ( life member ) https://www.facebook.com/groups/128288927251881/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/213300932024864/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
