The Mineralogical Society of Northeastern Pennsylvania
THANKS TO ALL WHO WORKED FOR ANOTHER GREAT SHOW
THIS YEAR'S SHOW DATE: MAY 3-4, 2008
NEXT MEETING: February 24, 2008
- We cordially invite YOU to join us. Do you have an interest in minerals or fossils? Are you looking for an interesting hobby? Why not come and join us for an afternoon to see what we are all about. Our Club is 34 years old and meets at the Moosic Presbyterian Church Reading Room on Sunday afternoon at 2:00 PM and is over before 5:00 PM. We meet on the fourth Sunday of September, October, November, January, February, March and April. Instead of a meeting in December, we have a Christmas Dinner Party at a restaurant. At our January meeting we hold our annual mineral auction, which is really a fun time. The summer months are for field trips and our summer picnic. We also hold a annual mineral show. We are quite diversified in out interests which include mineral and fossil appreciation and collecting, cabachoning, wirewrapping, jewelry making, designing mineral centerpieces and gem trees. As you can see, there's a lot to learn and have fun with.
