Cavers, The TSS office is having a major fall cleaning and work session this Sunday, 30 September, at 10:00 am. That's right, Sunday. We have scheduled it on a weekend to hopefully accommodate more cavers from outside of Austin. If your grotto would like to make a weekend field trip and help out, we can probably hook you up with a caving trip on Saturday and find you crash space at night. Heck, people are welcome to camp in my back yard or living room floor if they want.
We have multiple tasks that we wish to accomplish this Sunday. We want to move some furniture and wirebrush and paint a badly flaking brick wall (previously painted). We also want to repair a hardwood floor that badly buckled from the humidity this summer, and have to move some furniture and rip up some boards to do that. And finally we need to give the entire office a good cleaning, carrying out old equipment to the curb, sweeping floors, knocking down cobwebs, dusting shelves and cabinets, cleaning the desks and tables, and ridding the rooms of vermin. There will also be the opportunity to meet some TSS Directors, go through the TSS files, and copy maps and descriptions if you want, but those things will have to be worked around the big jobs, since the main room will be a little torn up and a beehive of activity. If you think you can make it, contact Jim Kennedy by Thursday at the very latest so we can get your name on the PRC security list and so we have a rough idea of how much help we have. The TSS will buy lunch for everyone who shows up for the day. We plan to work until the afternoon sometime, depending on how fast this all goes. We'll have all the paint, cleaning supplies, and tools on hand, so all you need are clothes you don't mind getting dirty, and a willingness to help. We hope to see you then. Jim Kennedy, TSS Office Manager jkenn...@batcon.org
