To become a member of the grotto, contact one of the officers listed on the "Contacts" link on the main page. Membership fees are $12 a year (prorated to December 31 your first year). All members are added to the SJVG Yahoo Groups email list to receive/send info on all current trip and activity plans. All members also receive a copy of the newly revised monthly newsletter.
     The SJVG is an Internal Organization of the National Speleological Society. All grotto members are required to maintain a membership in the NSS to be voting members of the SJVG.
     Recreational caving, vertical caving, cave surveying, cave conservation efforts, cave photography, out-of-state cave trips, international caving expeditions, camp-outs, parties, friendship and being lost in the woods are all part of the SJVG. We have a scheduled grotto trip each month. Someone in the grotto goes caving nearly every weekend. If you are interested in participating, please contact us.
