A letter from the Vice President
Dear members:
I would like to thank all the members who attend our holiday party. I think everyone had a great time. It is January and that means we need to start planning this year’s shows and field trips. I am checking on the dates for the Franklin show. As soon as I get this date I will let everyone know. This would be an all day trip. I would like to see all our members attend this field trip. I hope to have the date by our meeting. The Sterling mine has a night time dig under short wave light. This looks like it would be beautiful, with all its reds, greens, yellows and many more colors.
V.P. Dave Grace
