Covid 19 Updates:From our president:
A few new things have come up and I want you to be aware of them. 1. I am cancelling both the April Board Meeting and the April General Meeting. 2. I have talked to our Scholarship Chairman, Velma Bradley and we are putting this year's Scholarship award on hold until next year due to the fact that we are not meeting because of the virus. Since the students are not in school, they cannot meet the requirements of the Scholarship, like getting the professors recommendation letter to go with the application. 3. Dan Gumina, our Banquet chairman is cancelling our reservation for May 16th at Baldo's Restaurant for the banquet. 4. Editor Pete is planning on putting out the May issue of the Rockpile as normal, we need to keep in touch and our newsletter is the best way to do that. Our printer will be able to publish it since we email the Rockpile over to them but we will have to make an appointment to pick it up when it is finished since they are not accepting walk-ins at the shop. Please look for the Rockpile at the normal time in April. Thank you, Diane Good Morning Members and Friends:
Your health and safety are our greatest concern, therefore, the board has voted to cancel our upcoming March 28th Spring Swap, due to the coronavirus. For those members who have rented table space for the Swap, we will be issuing refund checks shortly. Please keep in mind that with the changing situation, you will need to verify that future events are not cancelled before you attend. We will do everything in our ability to keep you updated on the status of our meetings and events. Stay safe, Diane Kuzara, President MMLS

From the President's Desk:
Happy Spring fellow rock hounds! It's time to sharpen up your hammers and chisels, polish your steel toe boots, clean your safety glasses and pack your lunch, the rock collecting season is about to start! Our field trip chairman, Mike Bomba, is planning some great trips. Lets all get on board and join in the fun. Also, the gem & mineral shows are starting up, check out the "Our Sister Club Show Events" Pete lists in the Rockpile and make some plans to attend some. Remember to WEAR your MMLS name tag to all these events and to our meetings as well. Watch for news of our upcoming Banquet-coming in May, we will get out the information on that as soon as final plans are completed.
Thank You to a Member Segment
This month's special thank you goes out to Pat Rutkowski. Pat (and husband Bob) joined MMLS way back in December, 1962. Pat's recent job is Vice-President, and AFMS Scholarship Chairman but over the years she has served as Co-editor of the Rockpile with Joyce Hanschu, was involved with our show (held the "housekeeping" job) and of course, was an avid field tripper. Pat has hosted numerous board meetings in her home and has always been interested in fossils. She has always participated in our spring swaps and now participates in our SuperSwaps in the fall.
Thank You Pat for all you do!
-Diane
