Please join us Friday, May 3rd at 7:00pm at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 9200 W 10th Ave, Lakewood, CO 80215 (10th and Garrison) map. We will be discussing the upcoming 2024 field trips, including logistics and specimen samples of what you can find on the trips. If you are new to rockhounding, we will go over basic tools that are needed on a field trip. A field trip list is attached (click on link to view and download). If you are coming to the meeting tomorrow night, please print out the list and bring with you. There will be some extra copies of the list at the meeting. There are still some trip dates that need to be finalized and they are in italics. Field trips will be posted on the CMS website starting Sunday morning (5/5/2024) at 10am for May and June trips.

During the meeting tomorrow night, there will be a raffle of 6 nice specimens at 8:30pm with $1 tickets (cash only) that benefit the CMS education program. We will also have a rock sale with specimens, gems, and faceting material that was donated to the club (cash, check, or credit card accepted).

This is also a reminder that the CMS Annual Auction is Satruday, May 4th at the Wheatridge Methoist Church at Wadsworth and 38th St. The silent auction starts at 11:00am. A verbal auction starts at 1:30pm and will include the specimens, gemstones, and a fossil shown in the attached file (click on link to view and download).
