Jim, I got a message that the NCKMS is set up as a vendor. I'll get your paperwork setup and send in a PO. Can you send me an Invoice for $500 and we'll get you a check cut. Date the invoice for September 17th so I have a few days to cut the PO. I'm in the field tomorrow. Thanks, Geary

I'm posting this here to see if either the TSA or any Texas grottoes have started planning an event for the International Year of Caves and Karst 2021. This link is to an excellent planning guide written by George Veni, the International Union of Speleology President. Events can be as simple as
