Folks,
I wanted to announce that Dr. Alexander Klimchouk is scheduled to make the Venture Crew 410 - 2008 Adventure Series presentation at St. Mary's University on Monday, October 13, 2008. This is a presentation that has been organized as a service program for scouting and the public and is sponsored by Venture Crew 410 along with St. Mary's University, Texas Cave Management Association, the Edwards Aquifer Authority, and the Bexar Grotto of the National Speleological Society. Dr. Alexander Klimchouk, Director of the Ukrainian Institute of Speleology and Karstology, will make a presentation titled "In a Search for the Deepest Cave on Earth: The Blend of Exploration, Adventure, and Science. There will be a reception and open house at 6 PM at St. Mary's University and the presentation will begin at 7 PM. This is a free presentation and the public is welcome. However, because of limited seating, we do require reservations which can be sent to Aspen Schindel ([email protected]) or Geary Schindel at [email protected] or by calling 210-479-2151. If you would like a copy of the two page email flyer announcing the location and describing the talk in more detail, please feel free to email me. Dr. Klimchouk has won numerous awards and has been featured in National Geographic Magazine. He will be discussing his expeditions to the country of Georgia to systemically search and discover the deepest cave in the world. He will be making a similar presentation as the Subaru Keynote Speaker at the 2008 Geological Society of America meeting being held in Houston in October. Dr. Klimchouk will also be at the Texas Cavers Reunion. Thanks, Geary Schindel 210-326-1576 cell 210-427-2151 home
