Presidents Message

  • Digging It!  Happy Holidays! As we ease into these shorter, cooler days, I hope you’ll all be enjoying the holidays with the people (and rocks) nearest and dearest to your heart. I’m grateful to all of you for making this club the welcoming, kind, educational, and fun environment we all appreciate so much. Please join us for a few upcoming events, including our Holiday Potluck on Dec. 5, and a special rock sale on Dec. 12. Thanks so much for being a club member! Noelle Barnes, President

Meeting Announcements

  • 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!

  • Join us for our annual Holiday Potluck Party! Saturday, Dec. 5, 11am-4pm at the American Legion Hall. Bring something you want to share with your fellow club members, and enjoy the Club’s auction and (NEW THIS YEAR) silent auction. We hope to see you there!
