[Texascavers] Government Canyon Karst Project
The Government Canyon Karst Project will be starting up again on on the weekend of October 8 and 9. The dates for the rest of year are as follows: October 8, 9 November 5, 6 December 4 We will be working on several cave surveys, a dig in Government Canyon Blowhole - following the air, the continuing digs in Dancing Fern Cave and Lost Pothole, and surface digs on several likely-looking sinks. Of course there is always plenty of ridgewalking for those who want to find new caves. Directions to the Government Canyon Karst Project: Find the intersection of U.S. 16 and Loop 1604 in northwest Bexar County (clearly shown on any state highway map). Drive 2 miles north on U.S. 16 to the third traffic light and turn left onto FM 1560 (there is a Shell station on the corner). Follow 1560 for 3 miles till you see the sign for GCSNA. Follow the arrow to the right and drive 2 more miles to the sharp left turn in the road. The gate to GCSNA is straight ahead. Enter at the gate and then take the first right. There is an unlocked gate that will need to be opened and then closed behind you. Continue to the Volunteer/Research Station, where we will meet. We will meet at 9:00 both mornings. Camping is available. Contact me to set it up. Marvin Miller (210) 415-5190
[Texascavers] TSA elections
Cavers: It is once again time to consider running for office. The Texas Speleological Association needs your hat in the ring for the 2012 election at the Texas Caver Reunion. Knowing your reluctance to volunteer for any position, I am asking your friends (ha!) to suggest to me that you will be a fine candidate. I will then contact you and ask if you will run and serve. Our present officers (2011) are: President - Mark Alman Vice-President - Ellie Watson Secretary - Denise Prendergast Treasurer - Michael Cicherski If you are unsure of the duties of any position, a job description may be found under the Officers tab on the TSA webpage. This is the first call for nominations. Please respond with your thoughts on possible candidates at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, Ron Ralph, TSA Elections Committee Chair 512.280.9468 Home 512.797.3817 Cell August 21, 2011
Re: [Texascavers] TSA elections
Thanks for the announcement, Ron, and a HUGE thanks for volunteering (after a lot of sucking up by yours truly!) to, yet again, head up the Nomination/Election Committee for the TSA. Now, this is where the rest of you come in: NOMINATE SOMEONE, INCLUDING YOURSELVES! There's a lot of talent, knowledge, and competent cavers in the Lone Star State who could bring a lot to the TSA. As in the last few years, when we only have one candidate for each officer position, it tells me it could be one of the three reasons below: 1.) The officers are doing such a great job that one feels they couldn't do a better job. (Speaking for the Chairman position, Yeah, right!). 2.) The responsibilities are so intimidating that you don't want to run. (With the exception of Vice-Chair and Treasurer, I say, Yeah, right! Sorry, Denise!). 3.) Or, the worst reason: You don't care! Show how much you care by nominating and/or running!
