December 7th – CMS Food Drive, Holiday Potluck Party, and Club Auction

We start the day off with a potluck holiday meal. The club provides roasted turkey and ham. Members fill in with their favorite holiday potluck dish.

We follow our meal with the election of officers for the coming year.

Our final activity is our club auction. It is a great time to pick up great bargains on rough rocks, polished rocks, slabs, fossils, opal, etc. Our Young Tumblers can use their Rock Bucks to purchase auction items.

This meeting is also our semi-annual food drive for the Kent Food Bank. Please remember to bring something. The Food Bank has informed us that they need feminine hygiene products and grape or strawberry jelly. People donate loads of peanut butter but never jelly. They also receive very few donations of feminine hygiene products.

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.
