From the President's Desk
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah everyone. I want to say I picked up some nice Christmas presents at our annual auction this year. For those of you who missed it, there were some very nice items at the auction this year. Not to mention, I found some nice mineral specimens at our field trip to the Sylvania aggregates quarry in South Rockwood. Thanks to Gary Slominski for setting it up for us. We had 14 members show up and everyone found nice stuff to show off on Brag night. Come to the Christmas party at the general meeting and enjoy our present giveaway and refreshments I will see you there.
