| President's Message |
I don’t know about you, but I am looking forward to our Annual Auction at the April
meeting. Setup will be at 6:00 pm in the Cafeteria of the Senior Center, and the auction
will start at 6:30 pm. We need for all to bring whatever they can to add to the exciting
treasures to be auctioned. Each year, we have a wonderful selection of items, and I feel
that this year will be no exception. Bring your rock and mineral specimens, cutting
rough, finished jewelry, and anything else that might appeal to the wide experience
levels of members. Oh, and don’t forget to bring your checkbook! We know that
there will be many items that you will not be able to live without. Please come and have a
great time!
Our May meeting will be on Monday, May 19 because the normal meeting night falls on
Memorial Day, and the Senior Center will be closed. I am asking for members to consider
presenting a program on any related subject, or suggesting a guest speaker for
interesting and unusual topics. I know that we have a number of people in the club who
have much experience and interesting knowledge that the rest of us would delight in
hearing about. Please contact Jim Treadway if you would share with us.
Our June get-together will be on Saturday, June 28th at the TBE Park. This is the same
location as the previous couple of years, but directions to it will be in the May
Newsletter, so go ahead and mark your calendar for our picnic.
Lastly, I have to bring up our Annual Show Scheduled for October 10, 11, and 12 in the
VBC – South Hall. This is a new location for our show and offers a great opportunity for
our club. We are in need of committee chairmen and members, and this offers a chance
for members, new and old, to get involved with the club. I look forward to seeing each
and every one of you at the Auction!
