HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE LADIES OF THE UNDERGROUND!

This has been a big year for the Ladies of the underground.
1. In September 2013 our 3rd annual event, the All-Girl's-Cave-Trip, had twice as many attendees and even wonderful performers and trip leaders. We began the guacamole contest and silly awards too!
2. In August 2013 our Facebook page boomed from 20 likes to what it is today at 365 participants; reaching an audience of over 1,200!
3. Late summer 2013 the Silver Sage Grotto offered to host the 2014 event with full production which includes a guidebook and guest speakers. This event will occur the weekend of Aug. 1, 2014 and it will knock your socks off!
4. This year our logo and publication "Extraordinary Women Cavers" originated and became in full demand. We also created our first t-shirt that is so well liked that people still send orders through Facebook today. Even famous base guitarist for LA Guns, Scott Griffin, posed in the design!
5. This year we welcomed Khalvin Cook as our Vice Chairperson who has contributed many long hours to the benefit of cave conservation, education, and exploration as well as women's leadership in caving. Thank you Khalvin!
6. This month we are welcoming several reporters who will become our official first officers of the organization! Stay tuned to find out who these amazing people are.

Deli has been involved with the National Cave Rescue Commission since 2005. With a simple Google search you will find her name everywhere participating in cave rescue training efforts. She appeared in the New York Grotto 2008 report for the Cave rescue Seminar and 2013 Orientation to Cave Rescue. In 2006 Kansas City Grotto mentioned her in the Orientation to Cave Rescue at Indiana University. Central Indiana Grotto enjoyed her demos in 2012 at the club's Vertical training.
