well now... I don't know...The TSA store inventory is stored in Logans garage 
and at the TSS office. We have a storage room. So I don't know how the 
logistics of it would work...but if you want to take this on...I am sure we can 
figure out a solution !
  What do you think ?

Charles,

I just copied you on a message from Kara and my response.
Can you take on coordinating the TSA store for TCR ?
I understand that Denise, from Austin, has also expressed an interest in
working with the store.but she will not be at TCR. But at some point, we
should all discuss how the store proceeds in the future...and whom does
what...or what everyone wants to do..
So if  you are willing to do TCR that would be a big help. I might offer a
suggestion...that you recruit a few cavers to cover several store shifts for
you...so that you have the opportunity to enjoy TCR and don't have to spend
all of your time with the store. See if you can get David Locklear to help
sell T Shirts for a few hours! Or ask Darla Bishop to help!
I have committed to help the cooks for awhile...and need to help with TSA
dues renewals...which we might do out of the store boothso maybe we can
coordinate the TSA dues stuff with the store stuff. I am trying to convince
Mark Alman to coordinate the dues renewal stuff...so he might have an
opinion on how we do this.

RE: [Texascavers] TSA Job Opening!

2007-03-27 Thread Alman, Mark @ IRP

OK, John, you convinced me to do the TSA renewal stuff, although, I was
glad to help out, anyway.

I suggest we just have one big booth with the TSA store, renewals, info,
old TC's etc. under one roof.

One stop shopping, in other words.

I'm also looking into buying a banner (we have a TSA one don't we?) that
states:

Join the TSA or We Kill This Bat!

Before you react in horror, this is a take off of one of the most famous
marketing campaigns that National Lampoon put on the 
Cover of one of their magazines years ago. It worked very well, I might
add.

Here's a link to it:
http://advertka.ru/img/print/lampoon_national_killdog.jpg

If y'all think it's too over the top, I won't pursue it.

Let me know what I can do to help out, Chuck and John.


Thanks,

Mark

I'm game to help with it, and I have storage space in my office for it, 
extra garage space if needed.  I'd think that most of it was done via 
mail order, so no problem getting things to people.  If not, educate me

yep, got that message, and I'll helpout however.  I play to be at the

I'll also gladly help out with the dues work, would make sense to put it
