MISSION

Meeting activities, whether online or as a group physically, include wonderful guest speakers with interesting and informative programs, raffles, Member “Show and Tell,” displays, summer picnics, Christmas parties and our fall Ice Cream Social, along with camaraderie and networking with friendly fellow rockhounds. Other club activities include exciting monthly field trips for many different rocks, fossils, and minerals, and a spectacular annual rock show held every October with a wide selection of vendors and materials to choose from, plus games for kids and fantastic raffle prizes to boot!  Proceeds help fund an annual college scholarship.
