Here is your monthly reminder to submit materials for the SWR 50th
anniversary celebration to editor Linda Starr:

________
Southwestern Region Cavers!
The 50th anniversary of the Region will be observed at the regularly
scheduled Memorial Day 2012 regional meeting, May 26-28, 2012. This will
occur at Fort Stanton Cave, near Capitan NM.
Other details will follow as the date approaches, but this is your
notice to submit information about what you and your grottos have done
in the last 25 years.
Please submit your information as soon as possible, but not later than
April 1, 2012.
Individuals and grottos that contributed to the 25th anniversary book
have been sent extracts of those submissions for updating. Grottos that
came into existence after 1987 will have to start at the beginning.
Here's a list of the kinds of things we'd like to have from you....
a) An accounting from each grotto of history and activities, and members
(member lists by year are preferred) for the last 25 years, 1988 to
2012. However, if you start with 1987 we can cover any events of note in
that year after the 25th anniversary book was created. Use the 25th
anniversary format or newly create as you wish; just get us the info.
b) There is a perplexing omission from the 1987 book. Absolutely no
mention of the 1986 Tularosa NSS Convention. Someone involved with
running that event should prepare an account, please. Clearly a piece of
SWR history that should not be overlooked even though outside our time
frame.
c) Submissions from leaders of important events/projects. Each person
having held a leadership role should contribute. At a minimum this would
include the Fort Stanton Cave Study Project, High Guads Restoration
Project, GypKaP, ElMap, Manhole, etc. You get the idea. If you led or
were more than casually involved in managing any group functioning in
the region, we want you to tell the story.
d) Submissions from EVERY regional chairperson serving in the last 25
years to highlight accomplishments, controversies and activities. A
paragraph or two probably would suffice but send whatever you feel is
important. To assist memory, those folks are...
1988 Mike Goar
1989-1990 Carol Belski
1991 Terry Bolger
1991-1992 Kathy Peerman
1993 Jeff Lory
1994 Anita Pape
1995-1996 Chris Lee
1997-1998 Stephen Fleming
1999-2000 John Lyles
2001-2002 Bob Rodgers
2003-2004 Jennifer Foote
2005-2006 Kenny Stabinsky
2007-2008 Allen Wright
2009-2010 Ken Harrington
2011 Aaron Stockton
e) If you held an NSS position, or received an NSS honor/award during
this time, tell us about it.
f) If there is a category we failed to mention, tell us about it and
submit something.
g) Photographs, maps, charts, graphs, drawings (all high resolution
only, please, so we can resize as necessary) are welcome. Keep in mind
the potential for a huge document to result and please be sparing but
representative within this category. It's not meant to be a photo album
but memorable documentation certainly should be submitted. All graphical
media should indicate ownership for credit, and submission will
constitute permission to reproduce/distribute for non-profit purposes.
The 50th anniversary book will display an overall document copyright for
the SWR and also note that individual copyrights are held by
contributors who have given permission for non-profit, non-commercial
reproduction/distribution.
h) All submissions must be digital and may be made in any graphical or
word processing format commonly used on PCs (no Appleworks or
Clarisworks files as they cannot easily be converted, presumed
superiority notwithstanding). Word/OpenOffice documents and TIF/BMP
images are preferred. If you have some enormous file that won't email,
contact us and we'll figure it out.
i) This notice will be posted via the SWR listserver on or around the
first of each month until March 2012. A condensed reminder will run in
the next 5 Southwestern Cavers. That's it. Submissions received will be
acknowledged so you know they didn't skip off into the ether.
