Past Meeting Announcement

Sunday, December 3rd – General Meeting & Holiday Dinner

Come and join us for our annual Election of Officers, Holiday Dinner and Rock Auction. It’s always good food, good rock/gem bargains, great rock conversation and generally a good time to sit and visit with one another.

Time: Potluck setup at 11:30 am

Meeting starts at 12 noon

Election of Officers: We will start the afternoon off with the election of Officers for the coming year.

Dinner: The Club provides roasted turkey and ham. The rest is potluck and members bring their favorite side dish, dessert or drinks.

We will followup our great meal with a rock and gem auction.

Auction: As everyone knows you get absolutely great bargains at our auction. Items generally go about 30%- 40% of the going price. It’s a great time to get some good stuff for your collection.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Presidents Message

  • Digging It!  I hope you’ve all had a chance to get out and look for rocks during the lovely weather we enjoyed in July – it’s been mostly perfect rockhounding weather. And for those of you who were able to come on the field trips led by our fearless wagon master Roger Danneman, I hope you found some good material. Big thanks to Roger for getting us all out there and helping us find beautiful rocks! August is a bit of a break from the usual club meeting cadence – instead of having our club meeting on the second Thursday …

Meeting Announcements

  • Our August meeting will not be happening at the American Legion – instead, this month’s meeting is our annual club potluck and picnic on Saturday, August 15. Join us from 12-4 at Gene Coulon Park, South Shelter 2 – setup begins at 10:30am. Bring something you want to share and/or donate to the club auction, also happening during the picnic. 

  • September’s program is coming soon. We will update this page as soon as we know more.

  • Noelle Barnes will present Using Gaia for Rockhounding, an overview of the features and tricks associated with the app Gaia and how you can use it for GPS, saving waypoints, navigation, photo tagging, trail recording and more. Show and Tell: Bring the rock(s) that have the best “story” – and tell everyone how you found them and where!

  • 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!
