Please note A CLUB MEETING TIME CHANGE for the months of

January, February and March:

1:30PM – Second Saturday of those 3 Months only

*The web version of this month's newsletter will be slightly different than the hard copy.

 

The CMC will meet Saturday, Jan. 12th at 1:30 PM at the Salvation Army Building on Clinton Street in Concord, NH.

 

Our guest speaker for the January meeting is Jim Tovey. He will be giving us an update on activities at the Wise Mine and the Beauregard Mine.

 

The minerals of the month will be those excavated from the Wise and Beauregard Mines.

As usual, the CMC annual Christmas Party was a wonderful time for all who attended. A pot luck feast, including, ham, turkey and all the holiday trimmings, was a treat.

The seventh annual Best Field Collecting and Best Lapidary Contests were held. Winners are posted on page 2.

 

We also enjoyed a Yankee Swap towards the end of the evening. A nice selection of "rockhound" specimens were swapped.

CMC members in attendance thank Gordon Jackson for his help in organizing the event.

 

Editors Note:

The deadline to get info to me for publication will be the 3rd Saturday of every month.
