 The Club would like to thank Bill Brown on his topic of Minerals of New England and Mineral Localities of New England.

The Club is planning a field trip to the Harvard Museum for the April meeting, Saturday April 12th.. If you are interested in going please get in touch with Bill Brown by the 22nd of March. If there is enough interest, the Club will provide a bus to take everyone down for the day. The minimum amount of people would have to be forty to make it worthwhile, otherwise we will be carpooling down to the museum. For those of you that have never been there, the Harvard Museum of Natural History is the public Museum of Harvard University's three natural history institutions: the Botanical Museum, the Museum of Comparative Zoology, and the Mineralogical and Geological Museum. Through exhibitions and an array of educational programs, the museum presents a historic and interdisciplinary exploration of science and nature, with an emphasis on evolutionary theory.

Visit them at their website: www.hmnh.harvard.edu and view their latest exhibit Romancing the Stone: The Many Facets of Tourmaline in the mineralogical Museum.
