General Meeting – Thursday, February 8th @ 7 pm

Topic: “You found it, now what?” by Noelle Barnes

We have many members who have gone out on field trips and have collected some excellent materials. They will give their insights into what you do with it – how you clean it, cut it, polish it, and some ideas on what you can ultimately make it into – so you can get excited about upcoming field trips in the new year.

Some of the club members will share their insights and ideas.

Show ‘n Tell: Show us what you have done with a rock, mineral, or fossil you have found.

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)
