[Texascavers] Bexar Grotto Donates $5000 to TSC
A big thank you to the Bexar Grotto for the generous donation of $5000 to the new Texas Speleology Center! The Bexar Grotto is also challenging other grottos around the state to contribute and try to meet or beat their contribution. There have been a number of offers and requests over the past week to provide items or store materials at the new facility, and unfortunately we can’t accommodate those at this time. While we appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm, we still need to setup a management team for the property, help Bill Mixon sort through and remove his items, conduct some minor repairs on the property, determine the space needs for TSS and TCMA and figure out where everything goes, then establish a use plan for the property so that we can both meet the needs of cavers and provide a professional-type space for the Texas caving organizations. Thank you!

[Texascavers] Announcing the Texas Speleology Center
The Texas Speleological Survey (TSS) and the Texas Cave Management Association (TCMA) are pleased to announce the new Texas Speleology Center! This facility will serve as the new joint headquarters for both organizations and will eventually be the new home of the TSS library currently located at the Pickle Research campus. The Texas Speleology Center is located near Driftwood, TX (southwest of Austin) and is in the former residence of Bill Mixon. The TCMA and TSS wish to thank Bill for generously working with us to acquire this property, which will serve the entire Texas caving community. The Center is located on 5 quiet wooded acres and contains a main building and a large metal barn. The main building contains a library, meeting room, office space, and a cooking area. It also has a full size basement with its own lower entrance and the main level has a large deck. The barn is suitable for storing trailers and equipment or holding talks and events. The Center currently holds the AMCS library, which we anticipate will continue. The TCMA and TSS wish to thank the many people who helped this purchase come to fruition and we look forward to inviting the Texas caving community to join us at the Center in the upcoming year for many projects and events!

All of the regular contributors are too busy for this issue – so if you’ve been thinking of submitting an article, never written an article, or have a project to update us on - now is the time to do it!!
