Our next Meeting will be Saturday, August 2nd, 2008 at 9:30AM
at the new home 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.
We don't usually have a meeting in August, but this year we need a Show Wrap-up while we still remember the things we will want to
do differently next year, and we need to plan our Trip to Herkimer.
There is a parking ramp next door on the south side of 10th Street between State and French, which should be free
on Saturdays.
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.
Next Work Sessions
Our next Work Session will probably be September -- check back then!
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 proudly announce the formation of the Gem City Pebble Pups, a more formal activities group for our Junior
Members (under 18)!
We had two meetings of the Pebble Pups, but now that school is out, it's harder to get kids organized for activities,
so we will be on hiatus until fall. But don't forget about us!
Please see the Pebble Pups page for more information.
Field Trips
We went on a Field Trip on Sunday, April 20th, to collect Stag Horn Coral Fossils at a site
near Bethany, NY (Buffalo area). If we get enough interest, we may go back this fall. Please see
the Pebble Pups page for more information.
We are also talking about going to Herkimer County for Herkimer Diamonds over Labor Day Weekend. Since the
campground will fill up quickly for the holiday weekend, if you're interested in coming along, make sure we know!
Library Display Window
Our Display is now up and running in the large Display Window at the Blasco Library downtown. Stop
in and see it, or if you can't get to Downtown Erie, check out some photos on
the Library Window Display page.
The display will be up until the end of July.
