Next Meeting
Our next Meeting will be Saturday, February 6th, 2010 at 9:30AM
at the meeting room of the Gem City Rock & Mineral Society
in the basement of the Renaissance Centre building at
1001 State Street, Erie, PA
on the south east corner of 10th and State Streets downtown.
There is a parking ramp next door on the south side of 10th Street between State and French, which should be free
on Saturdays and Sundays.
To find the club, go in the State Street revolving door and look for the stairway down to the basement on the
right side of the lobby, or look for the elevators to the right of the lobby and take the third elevator to the
basement level. From there you should be able to see the door to our area.
Also, it's a New Year, so Dues are Due! Please remember to bring your dues to the meeting, or mail it in to the
club address below.
Please remember to print out and bring / send the
2010 Membership Information Form with your dues!
Next Work Sessions
Our next Work Session will probably be sometime this month to make
another batch of Discovery Blocks for this year. Check back after the meeting for dates.
In general, check back here Saturday morning around 9:00AM or call Bob (454-6770) or Harriet (868-8422) to be sure.
We usually stay until at least 12:30, sometimes past 2:00.
Pebble Pups
We are still looking for a new Youth Activities Coordinator, so the Pebble Pups are on hiatus until we find one.
Until we do, young people are still welcome to come to the regular adult meetings.
Library Display Window
Our 2009 Library Display is history now. Our theme this year was "From Rocks
to Gems" -- the lapidary processes involved in taking rough rocks, and cutting them in slabs, cabs, faceted gemstones, and other
decorative objects. Photos will be coming soon.
Our 2008 Library Display is now is now a memory, but you can still check out some photos on
the 2008 Library Window Display page.
Thanks to all the many club members who contributed
material to the display -- combining the best items from a dozen or so private collections turns out to be pretty
impressive! And if the comments of those who passed by while I was putting in / taking out / re-arranging etc.
are representative, lots of people were pretty impressed!
