Past Meeting Announcement

Thursday, October 12th – General Meeting

Meeting Topic: Joan of Jerry’s Rock Shop will give a talk on “Buyer Be Aware When Buying Rocks and Minerals” and other interesting things.

Show ‘n Tell: A rock, gem or fossil you are exceptionally proud to own. Also if you entered anything in the 2017 Puyallup Fair, bring it to the meeting and share with us your items. We would like to see what you made or entered whether it won any ribbons or not. 

The Fair had a large amount of entries for Lapidary this year. Therefore, they have decided to keep the Lapidary category/class, revamp it’s categories/classes and give Lapidary more room to display the entries. Thanks to everyone that displayed this year. Now remember we have to do this again next year.

We are now less than two months away from our Cascade Gem, Mineral & Jewelry Show, which will be held June 27–28 at Kent Commons. This is our biggest event of the year, and as I mentioned when I started my term, the people are what make this club …

Meeting Announcements

  • Our own Mike Blanton will bring his expertise to this club meeting program – he will share the tools, tips and tricks he has developed to drill holes in stones and minerals so you can do more with the rocks you find. Show and Tell: bring a rock you’d like to make into something else.

  • Club Wagonmaster and rock shop creator Roger Danneman will present an overview of the new club shop – including equipment, scheduling, stewards, and what you can expect from this exciting new resource.  Show and Tell: bring a rock you want to polish or make into a cabochon (or something you’ve already polished or made)
