Mark, Once again you have done a great job in editing (producing) this fine edition of The Texas Caver as well as this helpful list to remind us of our TSA dues status. I was quite surprised at the names of delinquent cavers, many of whom are stalwarts and well known cavers in our Texas fraternity. This will undoubtedly prompt those who were unaware of their X date to re-up. VIVA LA TSA!

There's no reason to be a member of the unwashed masses. There's still hope! Join the TSA for a measly $15 (cheap!) at: http://cavetexas.org/PAYPAL/index.php While you're at it, join the NSS, the TCMA, the TCC, the TSS, and any other worthy group you see listed in the "Links" section. Also, if you know some of the folks listed above and they do not have email, please contact them and beg them to join or rejoin. Finally, if y'all could take this list to your respective Grotto meetings and encourage folks to join or re-up, that would be great! At the risk of starting a long and drawn out thread here on CaveTex, why should you join and where do my dues go towards?: 1 year subscription to The Texas Caver Options for ONLINE or Snail Mail (or Both) delivery. See Membership levels below. Access to the Members Only area Joining will make you a member of an organization that creates, supports and promotes projects around the state, furnishes and maintains equipment as needed. Supports financially research into WNS (White Nose Syndrome). Supports (occasionally, financially) a great web service in Texascavers.com. Sponsors statewide events like the Spring Convention and TCR and international events like the ICS (including paying the fees for some well known international cavers who would otherwise be unable to attend). Will put you in contact with a group of like minded folks interested in exploring and preserving underground Texas and educating others of its importance. The Texas Speleological Association was formed in 1956 to bring the widely dispersed cavers and caving organizations in Texas together as an Association in order to promote cooperation and to coordinate the caving activities within the state. The cavers and organizations have changed over the years; both have increased in number and diversity. The importance of the TSA as an Association has never been greater. If you care about Texas caving at all, if you care about the discovery and exploration of new caves, if you care about mapping, if you care about conservation, if you care about safety, if you care to meet other cavers, if you care to know more about caving, if you want to keep up with the latest developments in equipment and techniques, then it is important that you join and support the TSA, and subscribe to The TEXAS CAVER. The TSA convention offers cavers an opportunity to learn more about caving and, along with the Texas Cavers' Reunion (TCR), gives them a chance to meet other cavers and to have a good time. Bringing all of these varied entities together for the benefit of Texas caving is the reason that the TSA exists. If you are a part of Texas caving, you are a part of the TSA. Please support it by joining and encouraging other cavers to join.
