From the President's Desk:
Are you getting ready to pay your 2020 dues? If you are, remember, adult dues are now increasing to $20.00 and junior dues are now $2.00. Use the handy form in the Rockpile! And while you are at it, please check your phone number and email address. If they are wrong please make the correction either on the form or notify Doris or Pete so we can correct our records and keep your Rockpile coming to you. Thanks!
The 4th annual SuperSwap is now history and we had a great one! Thank you to our co-chairmen, Tom Morris and Bill Barr for doing a great job. Thank you to all the guys who came for the setup on Friday (I counted 8) and those who stayed for teardown on Sunday. Thank you to all those who rented tables, our six demonstrators and Gary Slominski for getting club items to the swap for the club booth and returning the leftovers back to storage. We had some displays, offered egg cartons to youngsters who filled them with rocks they got to choose. It was nice to see our old "Minerals for Minors" banner once again put to use. And of course, thanks to all our members who came out to support the SuperSwap - see you all next year!!
"Thank you to a Member" segment:
This month's special thank you goes out to Stacey Harper. Stacey joined MMLS back in April, 1992. Most recently she has been working behind the scenes as our webmaster and is doing a tremendous job. She was really active during the years we had the Show and was co-chairman with Norm Hanschu in 2000. Stacey's two daughters and her husband were also members back when her children were small. Stacey and her husband opened their home to all our members by having our yearly picnic/board meeting there. She started a junior group back when her daughters were young also. Thank you, Stacey, from all of us.

From Stacey (web manager): Awww... gee thanks everyone!
