Looking for a new Program Chairman
If interested and want to help, check with Mike Bomba. He will inform you what is required.
Attention MMLS Members: We are Looking for a New Editor!
Yes, we are looking for one of our club members to become our Rockkpile editor.
Our present editor has had the job for the last 10 years. The editor will be 84 years old in July and would like to retire. This job could be taken on by two people. Diane helps me with the Rockpile. If you are interested and want to know how we put the Rockpile together, let me know. This does not mean you have to do it the same way. -Editor Pete |
Dues Are Overdue!Dear MMLS member:
It's that time again when you are asked to renew your membership for the year (2025) in the Midwest Mineralogical and Lapidary Society. (Membership runs from January through December each year.) May we ask your cooperation by renewing now. Doing so will ease our Treasurer's job, save the cost of an extra mailing and assure your receipt of The Rockpile without interruption. Just use the handy Membership Renewal Form in the Rockpile. Complete the form, enclose your check made payable to MMLS, and mail to our treasure: Doris Snyder 9728 Pardee Taylor, Mi 48180 It's that easy! If you would like your membership card mailed to you, please include a SASE. |
2025 Club Officers
MMLS Members Did You Know?
Recently, this came to our attention: I asked one of our members if they would be attending our Spring Swap on March 18th. The response came back, "what swap?". Seems they are receiving the Rockpile by email and not having a hard copy in their hands available, they forget about looking at it and are missing out on events taking place. I offered to put them back on getting the newsletter by mail and was asked-- "can we do that?"" Of course you can"! Just send us an email or call us and we will change the way you receive Your Rockpile. You are missing out on some great MMLS events and meetings!! ! Editor Pete and his Staff
Notice to Members:
If you would rather get your Rockpile by way of email let the editor know.
Field Trips

Mike has some field trips planned so if you are interested,
contact Mike Bomba our field trip chairman or better yet, attend our monthly meetings - September through June. We do not meet July or August.
