Check out page 3 of the latest NSS News. The bottom right-hand corner has a picture of the 2008 Limited Edition NSS T-shirt that Paul Gaskins designed the art work for. For those who don't know, Paul won the 2007 NSS T-shirt salon with the design he created for the Spring 2007 VAR that Front Royal Grotto hosted. By winning the salon, he was given the invitation to design the 2008 artwork. What a pleasure to be associated with Paul and his talent that we all have enjoyed so much! Order your own shirt before they run out or call (256) 852-1300. They're just $16 each.

Front Royal Caverns Update
by Janet Tinkam
Another successful project completed this weekend! Over 20 people were able to participate and yet er done. Front Royal Caverns has a new entrance gate with a very natural looking railing and stone steps going in. It's very exciting that the county would like our guidance in establishing an outdoor classroom that will help to reinforce what the students will be learning through their environmental science classes. Thank you to those who endured the heat and humidity and more details will follow in a trip report for the newsletter.
GREAT JOB !!
