The meeting was called to order by Don Smith every one was welcomed, Don stated he was filling in for Ruth tonight Ruth had surgery yesterday and she is doing well. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The treasurer’s report was read and approved.

 

Don welcomed the snow birds back, Don showed the little purse Melva is making for wheel prizes, she would like all the club members to save the small butter containers for her so she can make a lot of them, please give them to her or bring them to the meeting so she can pick them up.

 

Byron Scott announced our field trip to get Honey Onyx the date for the trip was debated and it was decided to go on April 26th, everyone that wanted to go signed up so that they could be contacted in case we cancel the trip, bring your gloves and something to carry your rock in, and anything else you might need such as sun screen water food etc.

 

A fellow from Gold Prospectors of America called Janet and wanted to know if they could have a gold panning demonstration at our show it was discussed and we decided they could have it outside. Janet found a real good deal on flag pins she thought that we put them on a card to give to people for putting a display in our show.

 

Lida Chapman is doing better and should be home soon. We discussed what we should do for wheel prizes we think we should buy some and make some.
