Butch Fralia, our TSA website extraordinaire, has informed me that after
laboring for countless hours in a previously smoke-filled back room, hunched
over a steaming keyboard, that the changes to the TSA membership fees, TEXAS
CAVER access, and to website have been completed!
You'll recall that these motions were made and approved at the TSA Winter
Business meeting at CBSP earlier this month at CBSP.
To recap:
Membership Levels
* Single Membership - $20.00
Voted to change to "Single Membership (online TC) - $15.00" and
"Single Membership (mailed TC) - $25.00"
Other changes made:
* Family Membership - $30.00 - Two votes in TSA Elections
Changes to "Family Membership (online TC) - $20.00" and "Family
Membership (mailed TC) - $30.00"
* Student Membership - $15.00
Changes to "Student Membership (online TC) - $10.00" and
"Student Membership (mailed TC) - $20.00". Add "No voting".
* Libraries - $20.00
Leave. Add "No voting".
TEXAS CAVER access
Voted to make all TC's older than one year now available online to all, add
link on the cascading menu under "Services" and off the announcements on the
home page.
With any luck, this will entice new members to join the TSA and to bring
prodigal members (i.e. Gill) back to the fold!
Still to do:
A suggestion was made for a photos and trip report section where folks could
send Butch (and me) submissions. Butch will add these as soon as YOU send him
something!

Thanks, as always, to Butch for making the modifications so quickly and for his
hard work and dedication to the TSA and maintaining the website!
And a big thanks to all who came out to the Winter meeting and made these
improvements possible.
