Our next meeting is on July 8th at 7 pm at the American Legion Hall, Kent.
We will have a fun-filled evening of “Rock Bingo.” Everyone is asked to bring 3 wrapped rocks (rough or polished), crystal, slab, fossil, or lapidary items for each person that intends on playing bingo. There will be a charge of $1 per family and each person can play up to 3 cards.
We always have a lot of fun and everyone goes home a winner.
There will be no Show ‘n Tell at this meeting.
All kids attending will get $3 in Rock Bucks.
If you are trying to find our meeting location for the first time, search American Legion Hall, S 252nd St Kent, WA 98030 (no building number) using Google GPS. Bing GPS doesn’t list it correctly no matter how you enter the address.

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.
