HI Diana, Bill and ICS Organizers!
? It would be great if a time slot could be devoted to the upcoming 15th International Congress of Speleology (ICS). ?Perhaps a group presentation - someone to introduce the Congress, briefly explain its history and purpose and to explain how it will work to have an ICS during an NSS Convention (maybe George Veni), then a few words from the Volunteer Coordinators (Cat Whitney and Nancy Weaver) who could then pass around a sign up sheet, etc. ?? ? Hosting the ICS is a huge undertaking, and the more people who understand it, the more willing they will be to help out and participate when the event is finally here - which, by the way, is less than 18 months from now! ? Thanks!? julia -----Original Message----- From: Diana Tomchick <diana.tomch...@utsouthwestern.edu> To: CaveTex TexasCavers <texascavers@texascavers.com> Sent: Thu, 31 Jan 2008 7:20 pm Subject: [Texascavers] Speakers needed for 2008 TSA Spring Convention, April 4-6 Join the festivities at this year's TSA Spring Convention in Kerrville at the Kerrville-Schreiner Park!
