Thanks for the update Mimi. I'm sorry he won't be discharged as soon as you
had hoped but I'm glad he has good doctors and nurses taking care of him.

Re: [Texascavers] James Jasek Sunday doctor update

[Lindsey Adamoski]

Hi Mimi,

Thanks for the updates. If you have any questions about speech, voice,
cognition, language, or swallowing following a CVA please let me know. It's
my area of expertise. Many patients on my typical caseload are adults with
difficulties in these areas following a stroke.

Re: [Texascavers] TPWD park re-openings

[Lindsey Adamoski]

What is to keep someone from wearing a face mask in 80+ temps? I've worn
heavy, HEPA filter face masks while mountain biking when it's 100 degrees
outside due to my asthma and allergies. Sure, it's uncomfortable, but to me
it's worth it to be outside. This is like saying you can't cave in the
summer. It's just how much heat you're willing to bear!

[Texascavers] TCMA Election Results

[Lindsey Adamoski]

I am pleased to announce the election results for the Texas Cave Management
Association Board of Directors. Congratulations to Michael Cicherski,

and can serve for two terms in a row. After the second term, directors must
take a mandatory break before running again.

Ten excellent candidates were nominated this year and TCMA appreciates
their willingness to serve the organization. We were so pleased to have
such a distinguished group of individuals.  Thank you to everyone
participated in this year's election!

Sincerely,

[Texascavers] Robber Baron Open House

[Lindsey Adamoski]

Hello Everyone!

The Robber Baron Open House will be September 28th from 9am to 3pm. Joe
Mitchell has stepped down from his years of hard work of organizing this
huge event and I am taking over! Our last event was highly successful and
we raised a lot of money for the Texas Cave Management Association. We plan
to have another successful event. We will need volunteers!! We need
volunteers in the cave and above ground for a variety of roles. Please let
me know if you are able to volunteer. Also, please let me know if you know
the "front half" of the cave (e.g. Male Passage/Female Passage/Chapel
Room/etc) really well because we will be giving "off-trail" tours for
people who sign up in advance but you have to be able to ad-lib routes and
move about with confidence outside of the tourist route. I did that last
year and it was a LOT of fun.

If anybody wants to stay in New Braunfels we have room for a couple people
in our guest room. We also have room for a couple tents in the backyard!
I'm sure other Bexar Grotto members would be willing to accommodate as
well. I hope to hear from you!

Sincerely,

Lindsey

Due to the wet, muddy, splashy, and humid conditions, we are postponing the
art auction until either next spring or fall. We don't want your beautiful
creations exposed to the elements. Let me know if you need a place to store
your creation. We have options available.

[Texascavers] The event tonight

Hello everyone,

We have a lot of people coming tonight to Save the Caves 2018.
Unfortunately, there was a problem with the webpage and many payments did
not go through. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please bring cash to
the event if you'd like a quicker entry. Otherwise, we will have credit
card readers for the entry price. We will have a list of whose payments
went through!

Sincerely,

Lindsey

[Texascavers] Save the Caves is quickly approaching!!

[Lindsey Adamoski]

Hello Fellow Cavers,

All cavers and non-cavers are invited to attend our Save the Caves
fundraiser. All proceeds will be used toward the mission of the Texas Cave
Management Association. You should buy your tickets in advance so you don't
have to wait in line at the door! There was a long line last year! Buy them
here:

https://www.tcmacaves.org/fundraising/savethecaves2018/

The event is June 16th from 7:30 to Midnight! Several Austin area cavers
opened their homes to attendees and will likely be doing so again this year!

Sincerely,

Lindsey Adamoski
TCMA Fundraising Chairperson
