The December Grotto meeting will be held on Thursday, December 7 at the Adventure Science Center at 7pm. The program for December will be the elections of new officers and the annual grotto auction. Please bring anything you wish to donate for the auction to the meeting. All proceeds from the auction go towards the Nashville Grotto. It doesn't have to be caving related, but it should be something you think someone would be interested in bidding on. | ||

From TAG-NET: The SKTF will be holding it's next cleanup on Saturday December 9th, during the Cumberland Caverns Christmas Party. We will be cleaning an old trash filled sink near Campaign TN. The land owner has a small cave nearby which we are welcome to visit. Of course no one knows what is under that trash........ (sorry, Jeff) We will be operating our vertical lift system to remove the appliances and heavy stuff. Since Warren County has had such good experience with cavers and the SKTF during Rocky River, a phone call was all that was needed to secure a dumpster. Start: 5:00 pm
End: 10:16 pm

Some of the local Grottos usually lead cave trips in the area during the day, there are vendors set up in the parking lot, and there is a great party in the cave from about 6-10, including banquet and live Christmas music. This is a family-oriented, non-alcoholic party, just for the record. | ||
