Membership
Attend two consecutive club meetings to qualify for membership.
Dedicated to the joy of learning about, finding, collecting, sharing, identifying, polishing and using rocks and minerals to create things of interest and beauty.
Club Meetings
The club meets on the 2nd Tuesday of the month.
Next Meeting: May 12, 2026
(But come early to bid and buy on special rocks…and have a snack)
Juniors Program: 6:45 pm
Program: Earth Flowers!
Speaker Linda Khandro describes her presentation:
Rocks make up the earth…
Minerals make up the rocks…
Crystals make up the minerals…
Elements make up the crystals…
AND!
Atoms make up the elements!
In this short course, we’ll see some of that long process where atoms combine and the earth is formed – it takes a very long time of course, but here we’ll peek into how the process shows up with the glow and sparkle of crystals and minerals.
Show-N-Tell Theme
Mother’s Day will have just passed, so keeping with the flower theme, what rocks/minerals/fossils remind you of a flower…or are even named after a flower? Or any rock that speaks to you.
