April 23 will be the work day at the mine. Meet at the Mine at 8 AM or if you wish, Bob will be at Havasu Landing Road, off CA 95 South at about 7:30 AM. You can follow him into the mine.


April 18th will be our year end Pot Luck party in conjunction with the regular business meeting. Just verified that it is 5 PM, so we have extra time to eat all the great food!
