Presidents Message

  • President’s Message – June 2025

    From the Top of the Rock Pile From the Top of the Rock Pile Our Gem Show is sold out. Everything is moving along with the show.

Meeting Announcements

  • July 10th – MEETING CANCELED

      The meeting this month is canceled as they are remodeling the room.

  • August 16th – Saturday at Lake Wilderness Arboretum Picnic (Maple Valley) and Club Auction

    Potluck on the Park. Bring your favorite potluck dish, rolls, drinks, dessert, etc. Enjoy a peaceful day in the park, visiting with friends and getting in some “rock talk.” Set up is at 11:30 am and lunch at noon.   Following our lunch, we will hold a club auction. It’s a great time to pick up some great bargains. Our Young Tumblers can also spend their “rock bucks” on something they want.    

  • September 11th – Stay tuned. Info to come soon.
  • 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.
