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 tenth 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 afternoon. A nice selection of “rockhound” specimens were swapped.

CMC members in attendance thank Scott Higgins for his help in organizing the event.
