The 2009 TSA Spring Convention needs a volunteer to coordinate the Map & Photo Salon.
The duties of this most excellent and admirable person would be to: Read and apply the rules for the Salon. (see below) (reading is not an absolute requirement. we can find somebody to read the rules to you or just make up your own rules) Solicit entries. (Beg, Bribe, Extort, Blackmail, whatever works) (Remember, cavers have little shame, so those disreputable photos you have wont work) Set up and run the Salon during Convention. (A little masking tape to hold maps and photos to the wall or table) (You will need a computer so Digital entries can be displayed) Find a few interested cavers who will judge the entries fairly. (Cavers generally are neither fair or inpartial, there is alot of collusion) (kinda reminds me of "The Godfather", if you wake up with a horse head in your tent, you picked the wrong winner) Award some obscenely extravagant prizes (Actually, the gifts are stuff that wont sell at TCMA auction. However, Its all in your enthusiastic presentation, smile, laugh, wave your arms wildly. They will be grateful for the single dirty sock) Clean up (Remove the masking tape from Wall or Table. Don't worry about the computer, cause it's been stolen or sold at TCMA) Rules and catagories have been establish for the salon entries. These can be found within the TSA website. www.cavetexas.org/events/mapsalon.html If you are interested, please contact Rob Bisset
