From the President's Desk
"Civilization existed by geological consent, subject to change without notice" -Will Durant
This quote can't be more true. On April 9th, a lava boulder shot through the air for 15 seconds, at Santa Maria volcano in Santiaguito, Guatemala. Recent massive destruction in Myanmar, Thailand and in China happened where an earthquake took place. I guess we don't have it so bad here in Michigan. Earth's constant changes just promote more opportunities for us Rockhounds. I want to thank Lou Tally for another successful spring rock swap and a shout out to Gary Slominski for helping at the club table. Hopefully I will see everyone at our club banquet and at our field trip to the Sylvania Aggregate Quarry. Until then stay safe and be good to one another. -President Mike
