Oops...
There were 30 signatures on the sign-up sheet, not 28 as I originally reported! The reporter/correcter did not know if the extra two were guests or members.
Have a great day!

Too good not to share!
These are the things we're supposed to do to remove the cholesterol around our brain & try to slow up Alzheimer. It took me 3 times before I could finally tell this brain of mine to concentrate on the color & not what it said. Do it until you get 100%! Bet you can't get 100% on the first try! But I'm rooting for you. This is pretty neat! See how you do with the colors! Have fun! It takes an average of 5 tries to get to 100%. Follow the directions! It's harder than it seems, as it should be! A brain waker-upper for today! http://www.humorsphere.com/fun/8787/colortest.swf

Dear NGMC Members:
I copied this off LA Rocks and wanted to pass on to you.
Sally, NGMC Secretary
OK rockhounder, this week may be our last crack at the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009. According to Leave It Wild, http://www.leaveitwild.org/news/daily_clips/1486, a vote is expected this week, perhaps as early as Wednesday. The Senate has already passed this bill and the forces are lined up to ram this bill through the House of ReThis info is confirmed on the website of the House Resource Committee http://resourcescommittee.house.gov/images/newsletter/resources_newsletter.pdf. Many consider this bill to be a slam dunk. The enviro folks are doing their last minute politicking and phoning/faxing their Representative. We rock folks should be doing the same.One very important thing this bill does will be to codify the National Conservation Lands System which began under the Clinton administration. This covers the BLM administration of wilderness areas. It also places many SW Idaho and SE Oregon river canyons and adjacent lands into Wilderness areas. This is the home of many well known picture jaspers such as Owyhee and Bruneau.There is a useful tool for generating a letter at: http://www.westernroundtable.com/oppose+federal+land+grab.aspxAt this date, a phone call or a FAX to your Representative (not Senator as the Senate has already passed this bill) is the only voice we still have in this matter. It is too late to mail a letter. Or, you might hand deliver it to your Representative's local office.To find your representatives contact information go to: http://www.congress.org and enter your zip code. If it pulls up several, use the ZIP+4 to find the right one.Happy Hounding.
