President’s Message

 

We had a really nice turn out at the rock bag fill, and we were able to fill a lot of bags. It really helped that some of the members cleaned the rocks the weekend before. I would like to thank everyone who helped Erla prepare the food and everyone who brought some. It's a lot of fun when we can all get together and work as a team.

 

We need to get prizes made for the wheel, we are really low. I would like to ask all the members to put their thinking caps on and come up with some new prizes.

 

Don’t forget the Steak Fry and Craft Day. If you have some craft ideas we can work on them at the steak fry.

 

Always walk the path of Friendship.

The meeting/rock bag fill was called to order by president Donna Chavez, every one was welcomed. The treasurer’s report and the minutes will be given at our next meeting.  

 

Donna reported that the hot melt glue that we made our prizes with, has melted and we will have to use some other glue. Jay reported that he checked the van’s and we are very short on wheel prizes.

 

We will have to make some wheel prizes at home because we will not have enough time to make them at the steak fry. It was suggested that we need a storage shed to hold all our rocks in because the weather destroys the bags and buckets that we have them in, this causes a lot of extra work picking them up and putting them back in new containers. If we had a shed for them it would alleviate this problem. It was voted on and approved to construct a shed at Jay Woods home for this purpose. Janet reported she is having trouble getting our door prize tickets, Donna will go by the printer and see if he has them printed yet.  

 

Don’t forget we need door prizes made, our next meeting will be the stake fry in August.

Welcome New Member:

 

New Webpage:

I have been emailing a person in Southern Utah & he wrote us a very interesting article on Moque Pipes & Marbles in the Escalante National Monument. Due to the fact the pictures would be very hard to reproduce in the club paper I have put it in the Kids Corner of the club website. You can find it at:

I have thought Moque Marbles kind of boring until I read this & learned how they were formed. I will try and have a printout at one of the meetings soon.
