OK, John, you convinced me to do the TSA renewal stuff, although, I was
glad to help out, anyway.
I suggest we just have one big booth with the TSA store, renewals, info,
old TC's etc. under one roof.
One stop shopping, in other words.
I'm also looking into buying a banner (we have a TSA one don't we?) that
states:
Join the TSA or We Kill This Bat!
Before you react in horror, this is a take off of one of the most famous
marketing campaigns that National Lampoon put on the
Cover of one of their magazines years ago. It worked very well, I might
add.
Here's a link to it:

If y'all think it's too over the top, I won't pursue it.
Let me know what I can do to help out, Chuck and John.
Thanks,
Mark

Charles,
I just copied you on a message from Kara and my response.
Can you take on coordinating the TSA store for TCR ?
I understand that Denise, from Austin, has also expressed an interest in
working with the store.....but she will not be at TCR. But at some
point, we should all discuss how the store proceeds in the future...and
whom does what...or what everyone wants to do......
So if you are willing to do TCR that would be a big help. I might offer
a suggestion...that you recruit a few cavers to cover several store
shifts for you...so that you have the opportunity to enjoy TCR and don't
have to spend all of your time with the store. See if you can get David
Locklear to help sell T Shirts for a few hours! Or ask Darla Bishop to
help!
I have committed to help the cooks for awhile...and need to help with
TSA dues renewals...which we might do out of the store booth....so maybe
we can coordinate the TSA dues stuff with the store stuff. I am trying
to convince Mark Alman to coordinate the dues renewal stuff...so he
might have an opinion on how we do this.
