What you missed at the business meeting last night!

I am going to start with last part of the meeting and work forward! Hope that is okay with all you rock hounds!

Our program was seeing what all our very talented members brought for "show and tell". It was phenomenal! Please excuse me if I missed anyone here, but Mike S, Bernie S, Jim P, Linda C, Kathy S brought in incredible items they have made with rocks! Thanks guys and girls!

The slate of officers and committees for year 2010 was presented! What a year we are going to have!

Barb and Gisela brought fantastic refreshments!

Our next event is the Needles Christmas event on Saturday December 5. Please keep checking the Blog for updates on when, where and what to bring. We will be doing exactly the same as Peddler's Fair. Jim R will be in charge, so let him know what you can do. Update from Needles Desert Star: " Plans are being made for the 15th annual Olde Fashioned Christmas Party and Lighted Parade to be held on Saturday, Dec. 5. Co-sponsored by the Needles Chamber of Commerce and the city of Needles, the event is to begin at 10 a.m. PST along Broadway in historic downtown Needles".



Next is our December Field Trip, December 12. Mike is leading this trip...meet at 9 AM (MST) LOCAL time at the ARCO station, corner of Courtright and Hwy 95 in Arizona. Our collecting spot is about fifteen minutes from there.

Our Christmas Pot Luck will be combined with our very short business meeting on December 21. We are starting an hour early so we have time to do a very short meeting, eat and do the Chinese Auction. Bring a gift to share in the auction...rock related or purchased for under $5.00. We plan to start at 5 PM PST (CA) or 6 PM MST (AZ). Ann asked that the board meet 30 minutes before so that would be 4:30/5:30 for board members.
