NEXT EVENT: February 27,2005 meeting and ANNUAL AUCTION at 1:00 PM

NOTE NEW TIME FOR THIS MEETING ONLY

(Due to the snowstorm on January 22-23, the Moosic Presbyterian Church canceled all it's events including our meeting and auction)

• We cordially invite YOU to join us. Do you have an interest in minerals or fossils? Are you looking for an interesting hobby? Why not come and join us for an afternoon to see what we are all about. Our Club was 25 years old in 1998 and meets at the Moosic Presbyterian Church Reading Room on Sunday afternoon at 2:00 PM and is over before 5:00 PM. We meet on the fourth Sunday of September, October, November, February, March and April. Instead of a meeting in December, we have a Christmas Dinner Party at a restaurant. At this meeting we hold our annual mineral auction which is really a fun time. The summer months are for field trips and our summer picnic. We are quite diversified in out interests which include mineral and fossil appreciation and collecting, cabachoning, wirewrapping, jewelry making, designing mineral centerpieces and gem trees. As you can see, there's a lot to learn and have fun with.
