Upcoming DC Grotto Meetings and Events
Sunday, June 19 at 7:00 PM
Virtual DC Grotto General Meeting
This will be
a virtual meeting starting at 7:00 for socializing, trip reports, and
announcements. The program will start at 7:30 and will be a presentation by Wyatt Nash about a recent dive in Peacock Spring. Instead of Zoom we will be using the Jitsi program for the meeting. We used it for the April meeting and it worked well.
The link to join the June meeting will be posted here and sent to the
Grotto's email list a few days before the meeting.
A DC Grotto Executive Committee meeting will follow the General Meeting. All grotto members are welcome to attend.
June 24-26
Weekend Caving Trip to Central Pennsylvania
Rupert and Alexander Caves will be visited. The Grotto will camp on the

Alexander Cave. No crawling here, this is a boat trip. More information
and a sign-up contact will be sent to the Grotto's email list a couple
weeks prior to the trip.
