It's almost time for the annual grotto picnic and auction. The picnic and auction will be on Friday, September 9th starting at 6:00 pm. The location is the NSS pavilion.
The picnic will be first. The grotto will provide hamburgers and hot dogs as usual. We just ask to you to bring a side or dessert to share. You will also need to bring your own beverage. There should be plenty of picnic tables, but you may want to bring a chair just in case.
The auction will immediately follow the picnic. Please also bring items to donate to the auction. These can be caving related or anything else. The proceeds will be used to fund the JV award and other grotto grants. Our chairman, James, will gladly auction off anything. If nothing else, come to see his performance. It is usually quite a show. You can pay for your winning bids using cash, check, or credit card.
Hope to see you all there,
Dave Michal
Membership Chair
