President’s Message – June 2021 (Click Here for More Info)

Past Presidents Message
From the Top of the Rock Pile . . . .
We will be resuming in-person club meetings on June 10th, Thursday at 7 pm. We will have our regular meeting at the American Legion Hall, Kent.
Mike and I took a 3 week vacation/road trip via the giant redwoods on our way to Lake Arrowhead in the San Bernardino Mountains behind San Bernardino, CA. We had 2 weeks hanging around this beautiful lake. We went on a couple of leisurely drives looking for rocks but all we found were several types of granite. We then headed to Las Vegas to visit friends and relatives. On the way home we attempted to go to the Bruneau Wood Pile in Idaho. We didn’t get far as my Prius is just not made for off roading. LOL. Mike did pickup some small pieces of petrified wood to tumble but nothing to write home about.
We continue to have about 5 new members every month via our website. I want to welcome each of you to our great rock club. I am looking forward to meeting everyone in June!
I am looking forward to not only seeing all our old members but also meeting all our new members! Mark your calendar now and plan on attending.

  • Maureen Carlisle, Former Docent at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, will take us through A Day on a Dig: “Over the years I’ve been asked about what it is like to be on a dino dig, so I’d like to answer some of these questions. I’ll cover some of the practical aspects of both archaeology and paleontology, as I have had the pleasure of being involved in both.” Show and Tell: bring a fossil or artifact that you’ve found or collected.
