Next Meeting

The next meeting will be on February 11, 2012. The program is going to be a sale & swap day. Bring your surplus pebbles that you would like to sell or trade and be ready for some fun bartering. It will be almost like we're in Tucson - only colder and in a library and smaller, but what can you do??

Hopefully everyone will be able to go home with some new treasures! Please have your items priced before hand so that there is no confusion! Snacks will be provided by Jack & Kim Hoxie. Hope to see you there!

Prior Meeting

The prior meeting was held on January 14, 2012. The program included a Video produced by Nova entitled The Last Extinction.
