Hi Gemstoners,
Not much going on in the way of field trips. It has been to hot to do much collecting. We did have a few brave souls venture out for a couple of hours to collect dendrites along the railroad bed behind the steel plant. It was hot but a good time was had by those who made the trip.
I received the Rocky Mountain Federation Newsletter and was pleased to see the announcement of the winners in the RMFMS Annual Publications Contest included our own Little Gems newsletter as a over all second place winner in the Large Publications category. Also listed were several other awards:
Adult Articles - Pegmatite Dikes by Mark & Julia Weaver, 7th place
Written Features - When “Thank You” is Just Not Good Enough by Jack Hommel, 2nd place
Written Features - Minutes of the November 2009 Meeting by Fred Bunge, 5th place
Written Features - Agate Rendezvous 2009 by Melanie Hecht, 7th place.
Too bad we didn’t have any winners in the Junior categories.. Maybe next year.
Congratulations to all, we are proud of you.
John Smith, President

News Flash!!
Our 2011 Rock & Gem Show will once again be at the Kingman Academy of Learning High School Gym. It will be the second weekend in April-the 9th & 10th. Friday, April 8th will be the setup day, and the hours will also be the same: Saturday 9 to 5, Sunday 9 to 4. We had our first Show Meeting Aug 2 with a good turnout of helpful people. The next meeting will be later in September. The date will be on the web site, in the newsletter, and announced at the General Meeting in September.
OOPS!! There has been an error in the Newsletter and on the Events page of this web site: The Field Trip to the Mohave and Power House Museums is on Sat-August 28th-NOT on Sunday the 29th!! This has been corrected on the Events page. Alas, the Newsletter has already been printed. Sorry.
