Good morning Cavers! I hope Monday is treating everyone well. On behalf of the Greater Houston Grotto, I am excited to announce that we are hosting the annual 2011 NSS Board of Governor's meeting! This event will take place October 21-23, 2011, with the main business meeting being held on Saturday, October 22.
We would like to invite all Texas cavers to attend. The Howdy Party on October 21 and the Saturday night social on October 22 are open to all, and the first half of the NSS BOG business meeting on Saturday is open to viewers as well. This weekend will be a great opportunity to learn more about NSS business and socialize with the NSS Board of Governors and many movers and shakers in the caving community. It'll also be a ton of fun! Our Friday night social will be held at the Ginger Man located centrally in Houston. Our Saturday night party will be located at Dr. Louise Hose's hanger just south of Houston. The party theme will be "BATS!" Accessorize with your favorite bat stickers, t-shirt or belt. We will have fajitas for all, beer donated by Shiner, and margaritas made by our rockstar bartender "Cave Dave" McClung. While everyone is invited, we ask that you register online so we have an accurate headcount and can prepare accordingly. Visit http://nssbog.webs.com/ to register. This website includes information on event locations, times, hotel suggestions and other fun things to do in Houston. If you have any questions contact me or any member of our planning committee who are CC'd in this email. Thanks to additional event sponsors--the Texas Speleological Association, the Rice University Anthropology Department, Bexar Grotto, and DFW Grotto. We look forward to seeing you there!
