Take a look at these beauties!

 

Yes, this tray could be yours!!  Enjoy!!!

As we are just before our field trip season, our members and benefactors have searched their collections for a few extra specimens to donate to our Junior Members' Table.

We also are happy to accept your donations from your collection to share to benefit our club. 

Keep 'em movin'.   Your extra specimens may encourage a youngster to enjoy or study earth science.

(As we are a non-profit, your tax-deductible donations are accepted.  We'll even provide a letter for tax purposes, if you like.)

If you can't wait until this year's show to partake, then, please join us.  As a member, you get access to quarries and locations restricted to the general public.  Why not add to your collection, bring your family, and have some fun?!

Come join us at our next meeting!

 

Who knows what other local and exotic specimens we will have to offer at our
March 7-8, 2009 Show
