Past Event's and News

Nominating Committee for year 2008: Expect a phone call or email from the nominating committee. They are looking for folks to fill all officer positions. This includes but is not limited to President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. Isn’t it time to step up and help run our rock club? Think of all the life skills you have that can help our club.

The Regular Business Meeting was held October 17, 2007 at Fiesta Mexicana restaurant. Of course the food and service was wonderful! It was great to see many old friends after our four month dark period. What you missed: Groan - - - another change to the Bylaws. You should already have your copy via email or USPS. These will be amended at the next business meeting in November. The President appointed Gisela and Pat New and Paula Auckley to the Nominating Committee. Last I heard, they have the slate of proposed officers to present to the Club at the November meeting.

Corinne announced she will serve as Field Trip Chairman and will be talking to members each month to lead field trips. I think there are some great places planned by some awesome new Field Trip ‘Leaders’!

October 20, 2007 - Hunting Chalcedony at the Turtle Mountains with leader Barb Ballard was a huge success. 9 vehicles, NGMC members 13 and 5 visitors and 3 canines enjoyed this trip. We met at the Kiosk about 9 AM and traveled west to the Chalcedony area. When we all arrived, every rock hound went in different directions and all came back happy with their bounty! Overall a VERY successful day! Thanks Barb for the Great Trip!

Hello Fellow Rock Hounds!

Just a reminder that the first meeting of the season is Tuesday October 16, 2007 at 6 PM Pacific time at the Fiesta Mexicana Restaurant located at 10197 S Harbor Avenue in Mohave Valley - - that’s about ½ mile before the Needles Bridge (Arizona side) on the west side of the road.

The notice was inadvertently sent to the paper(s) that this meeting is Wednesday the 17th. Sorry, I had a blond geriatric flash.

Starting with the regular meeting Wednesday November 21, 2007 we will meet in the recreation room of the Needles Marina RV Park, 100 Marina Drive in Needles at 6 PM Pacific time. First street on the west side of the Needles Bridge, turn south, go through the stop sign and look for the entrance to the RV Park on your left. The recreation room is just past the guard shack. If you have any questions please call Barb Ballard 928-768-6335 or Sally 928-768-7437.

The future meetings will all be on the third Wednesday of each month, unless otherwise notified.
