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!
Fritz

showing YOUR membership status, so, here it goes!
Please look over this simple list and, yes, I discovered my dues were up and
just now paid them.
See below to see if your name is here and, hopefully, you're paid up.
If your dues have expired (!) or you're not a member, yet, (!!!), that can be
rectified, as well!

If you're currently not a member in good standing, please don't despair and
wail and gnash your teeth.
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.

Subject: [Texascavers] Hot Off The Press - The 2nd Quarter 2010 issue of The
TEXAS CAVER is now online!
All,
the second quarter version of The TEXAS CAVER hasbeen posted to the Members
Area (not the free area) by our very ownWizard of the Web, Butch Fralia.
In this issue:
We have some excellent trip reportsand photos from Lacey Heath and Joe Datri on
their La Navidad del Panquequeexpedition, Matt Turner’s account of his trip to
Aquismon, San LuisPotosi, along with photos from Dr. Ann Scott, an Amazing Maze
trip report fromJacqui Thomas, a report by Ellie Thoene and photos by Amanda
Bentley on theNational Cave Rescue Commission Training at CBSP—February 26th to
28th,and a Punkin Cave trip report by Jim Kennedy and Deep/Punkin Preserve news.
Also included, at no extra charge to YOU, our faithful TSAmember, is Bill
Steele’s article on why he always carries a knife oncaving trips and a HUGE
photo montage of pics submitted by Roger Moore, CanEvren Yarman and moi from
the TSA Spring Convention held at the Texas CaveConservancy (TCC) world
headquarters in beautiful (and growing!) Cedar Park,TX.
This second quarter issue of the TC for 2010 is available toall paid TSA
members. Non-members will have to wait a year!
Not a TSA member? No problem! We still would like for you tocontemplate
becoming a TSA member. Send me an email for yourcomplimentary past issue of the
TEXAS CAVER and see what you'vebeen missing.
Or better yet, visit the TSA website at www.cavetexas.org and become a paid
memberand/or become an online member of the TSA TODAY!
Dues are as cheap as $15 a year! That’s a bargain in any language!
If you're a TSA member, but haven't yet joined the DigitalRevolution, it is
extremely painless to do so.
Go to http://www.cavetexas.org/members/ andsign up and enjoy the current and
back issues!
Be sure to also peruse the back issues of the TEXAS CAVER, if youhaven't done
so already.
There now are a total of 19 (14 in thefree area) issues of the Pulitzer worthy
TEXAS CAVER available foryour reading pleasure and available to all!
More to be added soon.
You can still opt to receive a hard copy TC, but will have towait a couple of
weeks, at the earliest, to receive your latestnewsletter via snail mail and
dues are $10 more.
We are in the process of transferring ALL back issues of the TEXAS CAVER tothe
website and we will let you know when this monumental task has beencompleted.
Finally, I want to thank all of the cavers who submitted material for thisissue
and all of the past issues of The TEXAS CAVER.
This is YOUR newsletter and I couldn't do it without YOU!
So since the caving season is well underway, don't be bashful. Be sure toget
those articles, photos, and summer trip reports written and sent in.
I know who you are and where you have been!
Without you, there is no TSA or TEXAS CAVER!
Thanks and have a safe summer and we’ll see you at TCR in October!
