General Meeting – March 14th

Past Meeting Announcement

March’s meeting program is on rock displays.

We know all of us are rock hounds and have rocks everywhere. This is your chance to show off your hobby.

Merriann has requested that you send her photos of your display of rocks, minerals or fossils. It can be either indoor or outdoor rock displays, large or small. It can also be any lapidary project: a bowl, bolo-tie, lamp, clock, rock display, outdoor wall, rock pile, etc.

Please send Merriann the photos as soon as possible so she can create the March presentation on rock displays.

Please, if possible, include the name and type of rocks displayed or used.

You should have received an email on January 13th giving you her email address and text address. You can use either method to send her your pics.

If you didn’t receive the email go to our website and click on the “Contact Us” page. Send an email that you need Merriann’s info.

Show ‘n Tell: A rock, mineral, fossil or lapidary project you like to display in your home.

Meeting Announcements

  • Club president Noelle Barnes will present “Rockhounding on the Road – How to Find Rocks Wherever You Are” – tools you can use to find a rockhounding location when you’re on the road, and in places you haven’t been before. Show and Tell: bring a rock or fossil you found outside of Washington (if available) or something that’s just too good not to share.

  • 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)
