Next Meeting:  Tuesday, Feb. 14th, 2012

Meeting Time:  7:00 PM

Kathryn Heidenreich Senior Center

1776 Airway Avenue, Kingman AZ

Mohave County Gemstoners

First of all, I must inform you that we lost one of our Life Members recently, Betty Bush.  She was instrumental in getting things done and helping the Club become a non-profit.  I had the good fortune to be able to have many conversations with Betty and found her to be inspirational and a wealth of information.  She will indeed be missed.

October brings us to the nominations for officers for 2012.  For four years many of your officers have “changed hats” to maintain a degree of continuity for the Club.  Now – it is time for others to be called upon and now step-up and take a leadership role.  After all, it is your Club too!  You answered the surveys and said you wanted certain things and less of a meeting.  We intend to get that done until our terms are done.  It will be up to others to continue.     

For lapidary techniques, we do not have sufficient time at meetings to do this.  You can call Gary at 757-8121; Stefan at 715-4173 or myself at 681-2371 to schedule time to cut rocks, trim slabs or do lapidary on a cost basis with our equipment.  You get individual instruction and supplies if you need them as well as see different equipment before you buy.

FRED BUNGE, President
