Happy Spring everyone! Hope you are ready for our next meeting on Monday, April 8 at 7 pm at the Bridgewater Baptist Church.

Mike will present a program on his and Karen's visit to Greece. We'll see photos of the Mineral Museum at the University of Athens and of course, some pics of the food they enjoyed.

We're asking you to bring a
YELLOW mineral to remind us of all the beautiful daffodils 💛 we're seeing everywhere.

(The club’s rock shop will be open Saturday April 13th from 9 am to noon - our new 12” flat lap and 8” cabbing machine are set up and ready to go!)

Upcoming events/actions:

The club’s rock workshop sessions are happening again! We decided that the shop will be open on the Saturday after each meeting - this is to return to the original rock shop scheduling of it being on the Saturday after the club meeting, whenever the club meeting is held. If more interest is shown, we may go back to opening it twice a month.

Field trips:

We are not planning any field trips any time soon, but if anyone knows of places to collect in small groups, let me know and I can send out the info.

Looking Ahead:

FYI - If Rockingham County Public Schools are closed for inclement weather on a meeting day, our meeting will be canceled. The club secretary will try to send out an email ASAP that day, and an announcement will be posted on the club’s Facebook page and web site.

Thanks for your understanding; we want everyone to be safe.
