SERA Winter Business Meeting Update
By: Butch Feldhaus (Ooltewah, Tennessee)

You may recall from an earlier post that the SERA Winter Business meeting is being hosted by the Chattanooga Grotto on Saturday February 3rd, 2007 in Chattanooga. Details are available on the Chattanooga Grotto website at www.chattanoogagrotto.org or the SERA website at www.caves.org/region/sera/SERAWBM.htm. Both these websites contain a registration form, directions to the site and accommodations (camping and hotel/motel) within a few miles of the meeting location.

It was previously announced that we would have the ability to do online registration but it appears this will not happen. The Grotto switched to a new platform a month or so ago and online registration and ecommerce is not as straightforward as it was with the old site. So please download a registration form and mail it in. To make sure everyone is well fed at the banquet it is requested that you submit your registration so it is received no later than Monday, January 29th.

It has been brought to our attention that because of the distance some of you may want to attend the meeting only. If this is the case please write this on your registration form to let us know not to order dinner for you. The fee for a "day pass" is $5.00. Please include your payment with your registration.

If you need more information please contact me at [e-mail].

Feel free to forward this announcement to folks who are not on Tagnet, and repost to other forums as you see fit.

Have a great week,

Butch Feldhaus
Treasurer The Chattanooga Grotto of the NSS, Inc.
