Past Presidents Message
From the Top of the Rock Pile . . . .

I am so looking forward to Maple Valley Days at Lake Wilderness. It is going to be such a fun event. I still need 1 more volunteer for our club booth on Sunday morning, October 10th. Please contact me asap if you would like to volunteer.

The club still needs rocks for the spinning wheel at this event. Please let me know if you have some and I can arrange to pick them up.

Mike and I will also be selling at this event. If you should attend the Maple Valley Days, please stop by and say hello at the club booth or the Fancy Kat Rocks booth.

As some of you know, Mike and I went on a family cruise right after our club picnic in August. We stopped in Honduras, Mexico, and the Bahamas. My favorite stop was the Bahamas. My body came home as planned but it has been hard to get my mind back home. It was so good spending quality family time together plus visiting new countries. It is very interesting talking to people and learning about their country. We saw the Mayan ruins and I even zip-lined for the first time. I loved it!

I want to welcome each of you to our rock club. I apologize if I have missed introducing myself to you. Please feel free to come up and say hello.

Kat Koch, President

  • From the Top of the Rock Pile From the Top of the Rock Pile Our Gem Show is sold out. Everything is moving along with the show. We will be asking for volunteers at the June meeting plus via email. Please plan on helping out at our show. It takes around 50 people to cover all 3 days.

With some good weather, progress should really move along fast. If …

Meeting Announcements

  • We will form teams to identify a tray of 8 rocks. Bring your hardness kit, rock ID books, cell phones, or anything else to help your team identify the stones. Last call for volunteers to help with our Gem Show. Show ‘n Tell: Bring an item from the collection you want to be identified.   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.

  •   The meeting this month is canceled as they are remodeling the room.

  • Potluck on the Park. Bring your favorite potluck dish, rolls, drinks, dessert, etc. Enjoy a peaceful day in the park, visiting with friends and getting in some “rock talk.” Set up is at 11:30 am and lunch at noon.   Following our lunch, we will hold a club auction. It’s a great time to pick up some great bargains. Our Young Tumblers can also spend their “rock bucks” on something they want.
