I have just wrote a mission statement so to speak in trying to establish the grotto and wanted to input.
One are we biting off more than we can chew 'so to speak' with this mission statement.
Several members or prospective members have previous emergency service background. It is for this reason I decided to add aiding emergency agencies to our mission statements.
I am asking for peoples experience and valuable input on how I have written these bylaws and please tell me if I should possible delete or add anything else from them.
Kentucky Explorers Grotto
Mission Statement
The Kentucky Explorers Grotto of the National Speleological Society (NSS) was established to organize cavers of south central Kentucky area to better promote objectives of the NSS as well as to promote the educational opportunities of cave conservation, biology, and hydrology for youth in area schools and churches through organized field trip activities and /or class room presentations
It will be the intent of Kentucky Explorers Grotto (KEG) to educate all members in cave conservation, cave safety, and cave rescue.
It is also the intent of Kentucky Explorers Grotto (KEG) to work with area emergency management agencies to render aid in the time of emergency situations.
Such aid shall be, but not limited to, resource material such as maps, locations and strategic planning needed for a safe efficient rescue of person(s) in distress in area caves. In the event rescue personnel shall need extra personnel or guides inside the cave system Kentucky Explorers Grotto (KEG) may fill, upon request, in these areas as well.

Any input will be appreciated as it always has been.
thanks again in advance
