February Meeting; Silent Auction of lapidary arbors

Hello Rockhounds,

A friendly reminder that our next meeting is on Monday, February 19, 2024, at 7 pm, in Ferndale. We will be going over details for the March show, and Todd will be presenting about fossils of WA and OR.

Exciting news; we have been approved to move forward with the purchase of 3 new, 6-wheeled, 8″ cabbing machines for the lap room.

We will be silently auctioning off the (4) 8″ Lortone arbors that have been in the lap room to date. Bidding will occur at the February 19 meeting, and the bids will be sealed. The starting bid is $225/ arbor. Each interested member will write their highest bid and place it in their bidding envelope. In the event of a tie, top bidders will resubmit their highest bid to determine the winner. Winners, please be prepare to collect your arbor directly at the mall shop.

Members are welcomed to come by the mall to view the machines in advance. Photos/videos will be added to our Facebook this afternoon (2/6/24).

Rock on,

~Trevor
