Tooele Gem And Mineral Tooele Senior Citizens Center March 9 2004, 7:30 PM.
The meeting was called to order by president Ruth Smith everyone was welcomed. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Our treasurer Marry Lynn Titus was sick and could not come to the meeting.
Janet Nix reported she has purchased some polished rock for our grab bags and some fine rocks for our saw dust panning, she has also got some key chains, chains and some jump rings. It was suggested that we change our grand prize for the show from a TV to a gas barbecue, this idea was discussed and we decided to get a gas barbecue for the grand prize. Bob Titus suggested that we should also have a lesser grand prize Friday and Saturday it was discussed and decided that we will do this.
It was decided to have our rock bag fill on June 5th at Jay Woods house, we will start at 10 AM we will also do some crafts for the wheel and our rock bags, it would help if we did some crafts at home also. It was announced that the ROCKY MOUNTAIN FEDERATION will have the annual business meeting in Wichita Kansas at the Cessna Activity Center at 1:00 PM Saturday April 24. The show will run April 23 thru 25th. Some one asked where the club money goes, our club paper costs about a dollar for each member, our steak fry is paid for by the club as is our Christmas party, we donate two hundred dollars to the Senior Citizens Center for the use of the building for our meetings, we pay Search and Rescue five hundred dollars to police around the show, our federation dues are one dollar and fifty cents per member, we also make contributions to different charitable organizations, we also have been giving flowers or gift baskets to people who are sick. It was suggested and discussed that we should quit giving flowers and gift baskets to the sick and send them a card instead, this motion was passed. Sherri Miller and the Scotts both made up some photo albums for us to look at all those people pictured looked so young.
We will have our first rock trip on the 17th of April it will be for wonder stone this is just passed Vernon just before you get to the rail-road tracks turn left, and go north. Henry Chavez will give a silversmithing demonstration at our next meeting. Robin Saull will bring the treats next month. Mike Houser won the door prize. The meeting was adjourned. We had treats and a slide show
