(Work Party at 9 a.m. and Social afterward around 5:30 p.m.)

WHERE: EMERALD SINK
TALLAHASSEE, FL

The time is finally here. Please join in being part of this monumental occasion as we complete the final phase of the Emerald Sink Stair Project. We will be installing the top rails for the stairs. Other last touches will include installation of a locking bollard and pole fencing around the berm of the sink. The following tools will be needed: saws, drills, posthole diggers, shovels, electrical cords, and generator.

For those that attend and wish to apply to dive, they may do so at the end of the workday by completing a diver application. These applications will be submitted to the Emerald Sink Advisory Panel for review during its quarterly review of all qualified applicants. To qualify, you will need to have copies of the following to be submitted with your application: Full cave certification, trimix certification, and proof of 100 full cave dives.

After the workday, please join us afterwards at Camp Indian Springs in the Dining Hall for great food, drinks, door prizes and pleasant company as well kick off the first annual Tallahassee Springs Social.
