This month's grotto meeting will be held at the Illinois River Watershed Partnership building in Cave Springs, AR at our usual time of 7:30 P.M. The Executive Committee will be meeting with the director of IRWP prior to the meeting. Normally we would meet on campus this month, however based on request and confirmation from the partnership we have been allowed to meet there for an another month. I suspect our location will transition back to campus in October unless a decision is made for a new location.

Good morning cavers,
Due to Mike Ross and I both being out of town for business, an increase in Covid cases in NWA and tightening university restrictions, the grotto Executive Committee has decided it would be in our best interest to move this month’s meeting to our regular Jitsi application. We certainly understand any frustration in our meeting location and ability to meet in person, so this would be a great time to gauge potential locations to look at moving away from the hustle and bustle of campus as we’ve considered in the past.
We do have a number of both trip reports and upcoming trips, 2022 grotto expeditions to consider, and a new BMG t-shirt and polypro order to look at, with a goal of having it in by February (the additional polypro designs have delayed it from our New Years goal). We as a grotto are entering 2022 with most of our prior 2021 business settled, so this is a great clean slate for us to see what needs the grotto and caving community have and a great year to plan some truly epic trips.
I hope to see you online tonight, at our usual 7:30 P.M. start time via the link below.
