Custer Elementary Presentation by Dick Morgan

Thursday May 23, 2013, Pat and I went to Custer Elementary School to give a presentation to the second grade classes on
rocks and minerals. To better show the rocks to the class several of the teachers let me use the projector to enlarge the specimens and
show them on the screen in front of the class. It was easier to explain and show things to the kids using the overhead projector and I
could show all sides of the rock. It was a lot of fun and the students seemed to have enjoyed the talk and the question and answer
time.

Presidents Message

  • Digging It!  May is finally here, and with the snow clearing, the flowers blooming, and the rains letting up a bit (hopefully), that rock fever is hitting us all pretty hard. I hope you all had a great time at the Rock Bingo night last month! The Big Show is Coming! We are now less than two months away from our Cascade Gem, Mineral & Jewelry Show, which will be held June 27–28 at Kent Commons. This is our biggest event of the year, and as I mentioned when I started my term, the people are what make this club …

Meeting Announcements

  • Our own Mike Blanton will bring his expertise to this club meeting program – he will share the tools, tips and tricks he has developed to drill holes in stones and minerals so you can do more with the rocks you find. Show and Tell: bring a rock you’d like to make into something else.

  • Club Wagonmaster and rock shop creator Roger Danneman will present an overview of the new club shop – including equipment, scheduling, stewards, and what you can expect from this exciting new resource.  Show and Tell: bring a rock you want to polish or make into a cabochon (or something you’ve already polished or made)
