Re: [Texascavers] [TCR]
Hey Don! I think there is a facebook page for TCR, but strange as it my sound, there are a lot of us not on FB for a variety of reasons. Several folks are getting their registration fee sponsored. Do you have the cost determined yet? And finally, do we have a menu yet? I heard it was going to be Viking visceral borsch?
