This month we are meeting at Greenbank Mill.

Our Next Meeting: Monday, June 8, 2008

Location: Greenbank Mill, Prices Corner, Wilmington, DE

Program: "Annual Club Picnic & Sale"

Members, bring your appetite and your specimens for trade or for sale (optional) to our informal club picnic!

We will dispense with our regular club business for a brief annual election of officers for the year. Though we will have no official program or presentation, feel free to bring some our your collection for an impromptu Show-n-Tell.

Rain or shine!

See you tonight,
Tom

Times: ~6:00PM (Setup) - ~8:15PM

Refreshments: See Sophie Homesy.

See Sophie to sign-up for what to bring to our June 9, 2008 Picnic! The club will provide the grill meats, plates & utensils; we bring the rest--like a covered dish dinner.

And, oh yes, please bring desserts! ;-)

Refreshments: See Sophie Homesy.

See Sophie to sign-up for our June 9, 2008 picnic.

At Our Last Meeting: Monday, May 12, 2008

Location: Greenbank Mill, Prices Corner, Wilmington, DE

Program: "The Physical Properties of Minerals"

A 45 min. video.

The write-up says:
'Close-up photography and clear explanation of the basic tests every rockhound should know to determine the identity of unknown minerals. All the physical properties are explained and demonstrated.'

If you have a mystery mineral that you haven't been able to ID, bring it along and perhaps the group will be able to figure it out. I have one such stone from what looked to be an abandoned mine (just a bit of a pit really) along the White Clay just north of Newark.
