Meeting Information
Each year, one of the Region’s grottos hosts an annual business meeting in the fall. Cavers from the region join together to discuss region business, plan activities, share issues of concern to the caving community, and discuss caves and cave related topics. Other activities including caving, an auction, talks, socializing and sometimes a meal occur. In addition to the business meeting, the Western region periodically hosts speleo-educational and cave rescue seminars.
