Would you consider increasing your pledge to $1000? That amount carries a little more weight. I joined the TSA because Lyndon told me to at TCR registration last year. I had only been caving one month and joined w/out even knowing the Texas Caver was included in the price. I stay in TSA because

As I have stated on more than one occasion, with or without The Caver, there are numerous reasons that being a TSA member is worth much more to me than the annual dues. It is mostly the enjoyable times spent with other cavers with like interests and a love of the outdoors. If you aren't already

Gill, I'm a current TSA, TCMA and NSS member, as well as member of 4 grottos. I didn't join the TSA because of the newsletter, and the same way with the NSS or the others. I enjoy the newsletters, but that's not why I'm a member. I joined all of the above organizations to help them monetarily,
