General Meeting – January 13th (Click Here For More Information)

News

Our January 13th meeting will be a Zoom meeting at 7 pm.

Share your story with us. How did you get into rock hounding or lapidary arts?

What do you like to do? Do you collect rocks, minerals, or fossils, like to polish, cut opals, facet stones, another lapidary art, or in the club just for the field trips?

How did you hear about our club?

We have to switch to a Zoom meeting because of the King County Directive for Covid/Omnicron. All business, non-profits, and public meeting attendees must show proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test within 72 hours of the meeting. Unfortunately, the Board doesn’t know how to enforce this requirement.

Please check your email for the link to the meeting. It will be sent either Jan 10 or 11th.

Presidents Message

  • Digging It!  Thanks to everyone who came to the club camp out at Teanaway campground near Cle Elum last month. After a brief spell of rain the first night, we were blessed with sun, clear skies, and rockhounding the rest of the weekend. And a big thanks to Roger Danneman for doing all of the trip organizing, and keeping us all warm and well fed during the weekend. This month I’ll be giving a talk at our club meeting about how to use Gaia for rockhounding. If you have specific questions, please bring them along or feel free to email …

Meeting Announcements

  • Noelle Barnes will present Using Gaia for Rockhounding, an overview of the features and tricks associated with the app Gaia and how you can use it for GPS, saving waypoints, navigation, photo tagging, trail recording and more. Show and Tell: Bring the rock(s) that have the best “story” – and tell everyone how you found them and where!

  • Club board member Paul Ahnberg will talk to us about the impact of wildfires on our lives – from protecting your home to staying safe while out rockhounding – and what we can do today to help mitigate our risk. Paul will combine his knowledge gained from learning at both the WSU Green School (Master Gardener) and WSU Climate Steward programs. Show and Tell: Bring something you found, from a place that you know has since been impacted by floods or wildfires – or was impacted shortly before you arrived. Tell your story!

  • December’s date and time is coming soon. We will update this page as soon as we know more.
