Cavers! Don't forget to attend the TSA Spring Convention in Brackettville this weekend. Ellie has done a fantastic job of lining up the venue, Mallory and Roger have a great slate of speakers to give us some wonderful talks, and the usual hustle and bustle of vendors, salons (don't forget your submissions!) and meetings will round out the weekend. But perhaps the most entertaining time of all will be the annual TCMA fundraising auction on Saturday evening, hosted by Yours Truly. As is coming to be expected, I will be ably assisted by a couple of sexy caver women, and we will all be in costume again. What costumes, you say? Well --- that will be a surprise! But I would like to make three requests of everyone. First, please donate outdoor gear, caving equipment, services such as dinners, trips, or massages, and other similar items to the auction. Second, please attend the Convention and Auction and bid on stuff! All proceeds are going towards another cave acquisition for YOU! Finally, wear a cowboy hat to the Auction! It's going to be a great time!
