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

From the Top of the Rock Pile . . . .

We will be resuming in-person club meetings on June 10^th, 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.

Kat Koch, President

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

October 9th – Tom Prang on Archeology & Geology

Many of our members may recognize Tom as a vendor from our gem show and many others. His booth is “A Point in Time.” I have given him free rein to talk about whatever he wants. He is always so interesting to stand at his show booth and listen to him talk. This meeting should be very interesting. Show ‘n Tell: A fossil of any type.
