It is a beautiful spot to enjoy the sunny afternoon, potluck, rock auction, socializing and the gardens. Guests and children are always welcome!

As usual we are going to have nice rocks and specimen’s up for auction at great prices!

(Our picnic replaces our regular general meeting for August. There is no meeting on August 10th.)

After the picnic you can always go swimming at Lake Wilderness. They have a nice beach and plenty of parking or a very short walk from our picnic area. The beach area also has great shade areas among the trees while you watch the kids play in the water.

October 9th – Tom Prang on Archeology & Geology

Many of our members may recognize Tom as a vendor from our gem show and many others. His booth is “A Point in Time.” I have given him free rein to talk about whatever he wants. He is always so interesting to stand at his show booth and listen to him talk. This meeting should be very interesting. Show ‘n Tell: A fossil of any type.
