Re: [PBSS] Feb Meeting of PBSS
Matthew: I am still trying to contact Mike Gray regarding the possible need for repairs to ESS cave (if any). I thought we might go down the weekend of the 22nd and see what all we might need. I'm not in shape for a long vertical right now, so if you guys do Abyss, take me some photos. Later, Lori P.S.: I'm pretty sure I'm a couple years behind in my dues by now; let me know the treasurer and mailing address and I'll send a check.

Re: [PBSS] December Meeting
