Sunday August 11; 10 AM -3 PM. The club will supply hot dogs and ice water. This is a potluck, so bring your favorite side dish to share (including salads, main dishes, appetizers, desserts). Also, please bring your own place settings (plates/spoons/forks/knives/napkins).

Lunch starts at noon. Tailgating/Rock Swap/Sales starts at 10:00 am. Members can bring rock-related items to sell or swap. You will need to provide your own table/chair or use the back of your car or truck.

This is a free event but for members only. There will be a drawing. Please bring donations of rock-related items for the drawings.

June Field trip

Got the ok to rockhound at the Beaver Lake Quarry (greenstone with spotting and inclusions), with collection restrictions. This is to be a group trip only – the quarry is open to collecting only for a planned day and time, so please do not head out there on your own.
One of the owners has offered to open it up to our group on a day they aren’t running their equipment, etc.
I will have all the details later, but for now, mark down this date: Saturday, June 29th for an afternoon trip. We will meet at Bloedel around 11- ish and travel as a group.
I will be posting another announcement later this week with all the details: directions, meeting place and time, what you will need to bring, etc., so no need to inquire at this time.
