Hello members! The program following the club meeting on January 10th will be about making gemstone trees. You’ve probably seen them around – eBay, Amazon, etsy – they’re all the rage. Becky will provide take-home printed directions, gemstones (rose quartz, lapis lazuli, amethyst, malachite, and more) and wires enough to build a small tree (like the one above). She has a limited number of needle-nose pliers however, so if you have some lying around, please bring them too! Once you have the basics, no doubt your trees will grow and grow.
This is the your reminder for our upcoming Christmas Party. We are set to have the party at the north A & B Pizza shop at 1:30 pm this coming Sunday, December 6th.
The club will buy the pizza and the pop for the attendees. For members who are of age, stronger drinks are available at your own expense.
We will have the gift exchange and according to our discussion at our last meeting, if you wish to participate in the gift exchange, please bring an exchange gift in the $10 neighborhood. We encourage you to bring, if possible, a gift relative to the rock and mineral hobby.
This Christmas party is in lieu of our December meeting. See you all on Sunday at the North A&B.
